Ordered 1 box via Montgomery Club and was pretty happy overall with the break. The card quality is pretty great overall, and I lucked out hitting an extra refractor as well as a PC card for one of the gold border parallels. Here are the goods:

Better of the commons:


Uncommon silver borders:


The hits:


Ken Griffey Jr rare gold border parallel and a Corey Seager Peel Refractor 2/10:

Of course you would but the point of the giveaway is to get people who don’t participate in breaks to give it a try.

Default Topps 582 Montgomery Club

Did a full case to get the guaranteed auto. The gamble paid off I believe. But it is a pretty nice auto checklist. Take a while to understand this one but even though not many numbered hits, lots of low PR cards.

So I just got around to trying to use my $50 Fanatics live credit, and when I input the code from my email, it says "The promo code you entered is not valid". Can anyone else confirm that their promo code is currently working?

Mine worked, I went to check it out and there was a Gilded case about to start with an open slot for Twins @ $45. I had to pay $6 shipping but I hit a Woods auto and a Killebrew /25. Happy with the results! But yeah, not getting into that kind of gambling, not at these prices.

You weren't trying one of the auctions, where you? It says:

No, I tried to apply it to my account under the promotions tab, and also tried to apply it to a fixed price break. I am concerned that someone else could have possibly guessed/used the promo code assigned to me as it appeared pretty generic. Hope that is not the case.

Yeah when I saw my code (MONT6215) I was like "oh man, well I guess there's at least 6,215 members to this club" and then I used it ASAP as they clearly just released codes following the MONTXXXX format in ascending numbers. Pretty weird given how good Fanatics and Topps are about generating discount codes ... I'm guessing there's one or two people going through all the numbers and hopefully fanatics can figure out who that is by mailing address.

I bet this is exactly what is happening as my code doesn’t work either.

My code is also not valid. When I entered it on my account the other day it was but when I tried to use it today it’s no longer valid. Someone is probably guessing and using codes as previously mentioned. Some people are just aholes

Topps is really foolish for making the codes like that. Someone will always try to beat the system and when they make it that easy, we’ll…they create problems and frustration for customers like you and me.

Same here. Code invalid. Nice try by Topps but these codes are compromised.

Got my finest flashbacks. The cards are gorgeous in hand. Really well made. Gold borders: Julio (rare) and Jeter (short print) and a rare short print refractor of Jackie Robinson

Has anyone tried to do the Fanatics Live thing with an international address? I'm up in Canada but it doesn't seem to let me add an address.
