Granted, there was no expiration date on the entry, so maybe this is why they include one now and are notorious for not honoring them.:p

That's a contest and not a redemption.

That's a contest and not a redemption.

:rolleyes: He still 'redeemed' the contest card for the prize.:rolleyes:

It's just for fun, good grief!

At least he didn't get a form letter and a Doc Gooden jersey card as a replacement

I know it was most likely a modern glove, but man would it be awesome to get a Hank Aaron/Willie Mays/Mickey Mantle style glove from back in the day...

Nice proof reading!

"Day was in bed he received when he received a call from Rogers & Cowan, a marketing firm that represents Topps. They told Day Topps was going to honor the contest."

Cool of them to honor the contest.

Well that's what I meant haha. If they're in decent condition that's 5-10k worth of cards he found.
