I just looked at the opposing pitchers record, however you can go deep into it and see how the batter has faced the pitcher in years past.

I wait until the day before and check the pitching matchup, the weather for the home park, and check rotoworld in case of injury. I also try to guess whether the player might have the day off. Most regulars get their days off on getaway days like Sunday or Thurs.

Not that it's working for me. I'm like 0-fer my last 12.

Haven't received my April yet. Thought I got a shipping notification from Topps a few weeks back, but I guess it technically was the 'order' notification.

On my Topps account, as of 5/10 it is still 'processing'

cpa85 · 05-29-2018, 11:19 AM

Same here. Been "Processing" for a couple weeks now.

jroeiv · 05-30-2018, 12:48 PM

I've got Judge on Friday with Gausman pitching

RustyGreerFan · 05-30-2018, 03:49 PM

I've been in a big slump - got Nelson Cruz last night, but that puts me at like one for my last 15. To make matters worse, I forgot to put my codes in for today and one was Goldy who has already homered. UGH.

TheFreeShipper · 05-30-2018, 06:41 PM

I have to think with everything going on at Topps online (sales, redemptions, Living, Now, etc.) that the idea of a HR Challenge is only digging them a deeper hole.
Great concept but if they can’t keep up with filling/substituting normal redemptions, then why create another redemption style attraction?

RustyGreerFan · 05-30-2018, 09:21 PM

Oh nooooo

Of the four guys I had targeted for tonight (then forgot to enter) THE FIRST THREE HAVE HOMERED - Goldy, Dozier, and Arenado. UNREAL. If Nelson Cruz homers tonight I would have been 4-4.

Received 4 Smoak this past week and scratched one yesterday. Entered for today’s game. SUCCESS!!! So, what should I be receiving?

Good question. We have no idea yet. Some sort of parallel, but we don't even know what the cards look like.

EldoEsq · 06-04-2018, 02:28 PM

I hit on Smoak yesterday also...no science to it, Fulmer is on my fantasy team. My fantasy team sucks, so figured he would get lit!

RustyGreerFan · 06-04-2018, 05:28 PM

Well, I played my only Judge and my only Giancarlo today because of the doubleheader. So far, not good.

I just bought a bunch more of these silly cards. How dumb. I have no idea what the prize is, what it looks like, or if anyone will know the print runs for each card.

I'm also not sure what to make of my current strategy. Right now it's just keeping an eye out for doubleheaders and checking monthly HR totals at the end of the month trying to get a rarer card. Now I'm thinking it's more important to just get a winner regardless of how many other times that players has homered that month.

And just think - Topps II and A&G supposed to have these, too.

Adam Duvall was used as packing on an eBay auction I won. Entered the code for tomorrow night.

I'm going with Duvall tomorrow night as well. You reminded me I had one. Good luck!

glassnickels · 06-05-2018, 08:34 AM

Checked my Topps order today and it now says complete and has a tracking number. Glad I'll have this in hand before the others expire so I can decide what I want to do with them.

Same here, shipped yesterday from FL. Excited to see what it is!

Probably will be disappointed haha

bn2cardz · 06-05-2018, 10:36 AM

It shows mine will be delivered Thursday. I would like to know the results of the monthly drawing as well as print run for each player's cards.

Zeldafanatic15 · 06-05-2018, 11:53 AM

Just got tracking for my Judge, should be here Thursday. Excited to see what these look like, but will probably be underwhelming. Would like to know print run as well.

I hit on Nolan Arenado on 5/25. Haven't received word on the shipment yet

Yeah, the shipments we are talking about are from April (plus March). If April's winners were any indication, it was somewhere near the middle of the following month that the status of your winners change. But even then that doesn't mean they shipped. That was another three weeks.

At least that's how it's worked so far.

So if the above holds true, perhaps you receive your May Arenado winner about the second week of July.

unclemonkey · 06-05-2018, 03:00 PM

I am 2-3

Belly in mid May and Machado last week

I missed one Bryant and have another Bellinger tomorrow night.

Have not seen any record of shipment.
