VIDEO POST: 2019 Topps Home Run Challenge WINNERS April/May! Harper, Torres, Ohtani, Sanchez

 

It would seem I recieved my 2019 Home Run Challenge winners for April and May well before some other collectors. Not sure why, but a few have reached out angrily wondering how I have mine in hand when theirs say "processing" still. Sorry, no idea. Above is a quick unboxing of my package from Topps, an Ebay box break I was in for Topps Finest, and a Trading Card Database trade package. All Home Run Challenge cards are available for purchase as I am in need of funds for the National.

Topps Home Run Challenge Winners!

I am getting pretty good at this contest. If you didn't know; Topps has Home Run Challenge cards in most of its 2018 sets. They give you a code and a player, you have to decide what day he hits a homerun. If you are right you get a card numbered to however many winners there are for that player in that month. I am now 4-13 in the contest. Really 4-12 considering I put in Adam Duvall hours before he was traded so he did not play on the day I chose. I am 2-2 with Edwin Encarnacion which is kind of interesting. I have given my brother all the winning cards except the Machado since he decided he didn't have time to do the research to play the game. I told him I would do it and give him the winnings. Somehow I keep winning on his cards and losing on mine. Except Manny...

I still have a handful of these left to do. I think its super fun and kind of hope Topps keeps doing it but also want this to be the only year to increase the value of the cards. I have Mike Napoli who I am pretty sure fell of the face of the earth and Gary Sanchez who may not play again this year that will stay unscratched forever probably. I'm picking Jonathan Schoop to homer off of Chris Archer on the 14th. He owns him. Wish me luck. If anybody has any of the unscratched they want to trade me or want me to research and play for them let me know!

Proof of my record so far.

Also, here are some recent cards sent to me in trade on TCDB:
