It's been a few days. I've been busy and haven't had anything to say so I didn't. But I got home yesterday and found a nice box waiting for me. It was my swag from A Cardboard Problems Series 1 Jumbo Case break. I didn't get anything too exciting. I didn't get a hit, which was a bummer, but did get 5 team sets, a bunch of inserts and a few sparkly Brewers cards. There was also a bunch of other stuff from a trade Marie and I worked out for my Cano Leather Name Plate and Diamond card. But I also got 2 Diamond Giveaway cards in the break and seeing as everyone was starting to throw codes in I figured I'd throw these 2 in to see what I got.
My first code wasn't bad.
A 1973 Sam McDowell card. I ended up getting quite a few 1973 cards from the Million Card Giveaway and it's a classic set. At least I should be able to trade this for something I might like better.
Then I got the typical second cards
1991 Dave Hollins. Who? Yeah. I looked Dave up. He was in the majors for 12 years with 7 different teams.
On a side note I went and had Topps ship me the rest of my Million Card Giveaway cards I wanted. I just picked everything 1975 and before and then accepted every trade I had on the remaining cards. You're welcome. I also did the same thing with my Gridiron Giveaway cards. Why do I feel so ripped off from Topps. Their shipping is worse than COMC. But I digress. I didn't have to ship my cards to me. I will say this for a "free" card giveaway it sure seems expensive.

I agree CB. Topps is really screwing us over in shipping charges. I've got 3 cards coming from the MCG program and that's it. The rest of the cards sitting in my portfolio will just sit there until the program ends.
