From the official rules:

A)  Overview: The HRIC will identify a specific, current Major League Baseball position player (i.e., not a pitcher). If that player hits an official homerun in a Major League Baseball game on the date of the 2018 Major League Baseball regular season that you have selected at the Topps website, you will win a parallel card of that Major League Baseball player.

Also:

Then, pick the one (1) date during the 2018 Major League Baseball regular season (i.e., between March 29, 2018 and September 30, 2018) on which you believe the Major League Baseball player identified on the HRIC will hit a homerun (either a “regular” homerun that clears the outfield wall or an “inside the park” homerun).


So no, it doesn't look like you will get a prize. And you managed to forfeit a potential one by entering an invalid date.

Why does the site even allow him to choose a date out of range? Lame

Good question. They may give him a mulligan because of this:

BE CAREFUL IN SELECTING A DATE BECAUSE, ONCE SELECTED, THIS DATE CANNOT BE CHANGED ABSENT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AS DETERMINED BY SPONSOR IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION ON A NON-BINDING, CASE-BY-CASE BASIS (SPONSOR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY SUCH DETERMINATION)

But it's not likely. They'll probably tell him to kick rocks and read directions next time.

Deciphered and typed into better format so more people could enjoy this post:

How many of you have won the Topps Home Run Card Challenge? Am I the earliest?

It was my birthday yesterday so that would be cool! I like Matt Davidson because he is BOSS and has a lot of power!

I checked the status of the card but as of 2-25-2018 it still says "processing."

This is so cool! I hope I get a rare parallel!

I reviewed the Topps Card with my cousin who is a corporate lawyer . I updated him on my situation after sending him copies of my card and screenshots of my entry , he called me 5 min later and said w/o a doubt based on numerous federal laws that they indeed would be in violation of
1. Unfair Trading
2. Complex Lottery Violation
3. Deceptive and False advertising promotions that require purchase to participate via chance then based on skill.
Theres literally a list i dont want to type but he told me
" They will honor their promotion ,im 99% positive , they have no other legal alleys to dodge the way they advertised and sold their competition."

Even the card itself leaves them nothing in small lettering terms and if their was small writing that itself would be violation.

So i guess will see but im certain after hearing numerous other conditions i didnt comprehend by the tone of his voice. IM THE EARLIEST CONTEST WINNER . ILL POST THE VARIATION WHEN I GET IT

You should worry more about writing complete sentences rather than receiving a $4 Topps parallel card for a game you couldn’t follow the rules in

If nothing comes out of this thread I believe we've all learned a valuable lesson.
Never ever use this guy's cousin as an attorney.

That's pretty clear.....
