Series 1 1957 Mickey Mantle k4Tdqj%mh
Not terribly surprised, especially with the series 1 cards.

Off to a pretty good start... Night Owl will be jealous at least. Taunt! Taunt!

Yup. If the next two are invalid I am teh scrooed.

Wooo! An oldie! I've got this card so maybe I can use it as trade bait.

Back down to earth. Trammell is good an all, but 1992 is not what I was looking for. At least I didn't get an '87 or a 2001 Ivan Rodriguez I guess.
I think I'll try five more. And why not?
I quit doing this for two reasons: I was pissed at the Strasburg horsecrap and I had completed my Lemmer collection. I forgot how fun this is.

Wow, a first series code I hadn't used... Nice back to back pickups there. Maybe Topps spies are messing with me again.

WOOOOOOO! I'm hitting the Oldies tonight! I've got this one sitting right next to me on my desk. I would have been putting together my 1961 wantlist if I hadn't gotten sidetracked on this.

Gaaaah, a Met. They can't all be '60s. I've got the gambler's shakes now. Gotta keep rollin those dice....

RACKENFRACK. Wrong century! I can think of worse than Lofton to get but this one will end up unrordered.

BARRRRRF. My luck is gone. That's it for tonight. Let's see if I can find a sucker to take my '60s cards for some old Braves.

I do like the look of that Lofton card, though.
Sooooo addictive. Redeem them all!! I just traded a 1966 Frank Malzone for a 1966 Dick Kelley/Jim Beauchamp. A good card for MY Braves collection.
Got to do better than a '78 Lopes to get me slobbery.
I've had great luck getting rid of my "this century" cards on the MCG site for cards I actually want. I never believe it's going to work and then, like magic, it does.
That '61 Phillie is sweet, why can't I get stuff like that?? I got a '61 Bill Bruton I could trade ya?

I had 1 invalid code that I emailed to the Customer Service, and after a week or so, they emailed me three replacement codes.
I think you beat the odds there, but I do wish Topps wasn't restarting this from scratch for 2011. Hard to amass a collection (and a fan base)in just a year. -Andy
