I am bad at gambling.
I have incorrectly used 9 Home Run challenges cards of Andrew McCutchen on days he failed to hit a homerun including all 3 games he played in his return to Pittsburgh.
The cards cost me $3 to $5 each so that was roughly $40 wasted.
Fortunately, there was still hope. I negotiated and over paid to get one of only 7 of the cards that people correctly guessed when Cutch hit one of his three homers in April.
The seller provided the card in the Topps Now packaging.
So after having a feeling that Cutch would hit a HR in his last 3 games played and missing on each one, what do you think happened yesterday?
Oh I haven't seen these yet! The prize cards look nice.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the back mentions the specific month the HR was hit. Does that mean there's a unique card (or at least card back) for each month he hits a homer?
ReplyDeleteIm really impressed by these as prize cards. I think each month will feature a different photo.
DeleteNice. I had seen somewhere these would be done month by month, with a possibility of 8 different ones (March-October). Doubt I'll add the Cubs unless I win one myself.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed an increase in price of unscratched ones now that the prizes have been revealed?
Yes. I used to be able to pick them up for 3 to 5 bucks delivered and now a lot of them are in the 8 to 10 range. I didnt play Cutch today even though I loved the matchup of him facing Dan Strailey because it is a day game and I thought Bochy might give him the day off with Pence Hansen Hernandez all being able to play RF. So of course Cutch gets the start and goes yard again today. I cant win!!!!
DeleteI went 0 for 4 on my Cruz attempts. I just picked his cold stretch
ReplyDeleteDon't know anything about these cards... but kudos to Topps for their creativity. From what I can gather... it kinda reminds me of the You Crash the Game cards of the 90's.
