Topps giving away vintage cards inside it’s unopened packs isn’t a new idea. Long-time collectors will recall the company’s 1991 50th anniversary celebration, which included redemption cards.
There are a lot of those boxes still in various unopened states. One collector recently decided to bust one open and won a huge prize.
Or would have if it were still 2001.

You might recall our story about the championship rings stolen from pitcher Kyle Kendrick’s Washington home a few weeks ago.
Other baseball memorabilia was also taken in the burglary.
Cops have now arrested five people in connection with the case, but the big prize is still missing.

Here’s an interesting contest for anyone who follows the NFL Draft.
Card Collectors World is giving away some Panini-sponsored prizes if you can guess the first round picks better than anyone else. It’s a cool concept, although if it plays out like most drafts, I have a feeling the winner might only have about five or six correct guesses.
