Wow. The craze of the Million Card Giveaway is pretty amazing. Looking at my blogroll and seeing 12 blogs in a row posting about the same topic all within minutes of each other is downright insane. Based on that, I would say that Topps has made a damn successful promotion here. Some people are scoring some really nice cards and I think everyone is generally pretty darn excited about the whole thing. I shared my cons on the matter, but I am still pretty obsessed with the 2010 Topps set and I know I will be buying a bunch more of it and I know there will be TMC cards in series 2 as well and I will be ripping just as much of that. I took the time to update my want list for 2010. You can find it
HERE. I do plan on updating the "dupes for trade" section...
I need 79 more cards to finish the base set off. That means I am at 76 per cent completion. I have bought 45 packs and done 3 trades. It isn’t great, but overall I am pleased.

Anyway, I am going to continue to follow the trend of posting TMC unlocked cards. I was gonna try to spread out the suspense, but now I just want to get it over with. Here are the final 6 cards I unlocked to go along with the 2 1985 cards I showed in the previous post:
1987 Topps Ozzie Smith

1998 Topps Mike Lansing

The 1971 Segui looks really nice in their scan. I would get excited about that one I guess, but honestly I would probably trade it away like I have done with all of my 1971 cards. With all of the anticipation it is pretty anticlimactic, but I do think it is a really nice promotion and I also think it has been super successful. Topps has created a crazy buzz, the hobby is thriving and cards are flying off the shelves. I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work and their gravity feeders (which hold 100+packs) were EMPTY. This is a great thing. I hope it causes more blogs to pop up, too. I know I sounded really negative in my last post… I am excited about this, but the whole requiring a credit card thing is BS in my opinion. Just saying. I also don't think any one of these cards is worth 52 cents. I will say congrats to Topps baseball for hijacking the entire baseball card blogosphere! I will also say I feel REALLY SORRY for the poor intern that had to scan a million cards. I get pissed off trying to scan 8 cards for a post. Oh, by the way, the card at the top is a 1999 Pudge Rodriguez Card Your Mom Threw Out original back (yawn), 1 in 24 box hit. That and an Ozzie Smith original back are my mojo hits thus far. I do have jersey, bat and autograph hits to show off, but they came in the mail, I didn't pull them myself. I aint that lucky... Go Rays! Troll out.
Dave Valle!!! SWEET!!!! Ok, I'm just trying to be positive for ya Trollman. Are you putting the 2010 Topps set together? I have some dupes if you need some. No Topps Gold Rays though..sorry!
