Bowman Prospect Challenge site may be working? - Page 10

VinnyH · 01-01-2013, 10:57 AM

Interesting wrinkle in entering my Prospect codes...
I had hit a wall entering over 80 codes where the last 10 were basically the same set of 4 players. Shawon Dunston Jr. was part of those last 10 sets. I reset my computer cookies but still kept getting him, even spacing out my entries a few days here and there. Also, no Blue Wave packs.

I opened a new account with another email of mine and started to enter a batch of 20 codes. They were all different and I got a Blue Wave pack with my third entry.

Definitely a screwy site,
VinnyH

I needed 12 codes total.

Got an e-mail and they sent me 14. Checked my e-mail and they sent me another 12...

Topps customer service.

I've entered 105 and have nothing.

I've noticed the best times to enter codes is during peak hours. Lunch time EST/PST 6-9 PM EST/PST.

These are the best hours because lots of others are entering codes which would obviously give you better chances at hitting packs with a smaller amount of codes being entered on your end.

jtrinaldi · 01-07-2013, 02:13 PM

Ive got 2 for a dollar each if anyone wants them

Divino · 01-10-2013, 09:15 AM

Entered 1 code from my stack last night and hit a blue wave pack! I didn't see any feature on the site keeping record of my winnings tho, has anybody confirmed or heard anything about the blue wave packs? As of right now, I have no proof that I won a pack other than that quick message after I entered the code.

They updated the site today with a "My Prizes" Button but its still not working right. I'd say a few more days and you should have a record. I'm up to 35 packs, so hope it kept an accurate record. I set the codes that unlocked a pack set aside just incase.

I don't think this follows. Unless the code : prize rate itself changes across time of day there should be no "best time" to enter. Amount of competition should have no effect on probability of hitting a pack.

Well I have 35 packs using this system. Might just be luck, but its working for me.

Scoreboard is definitely impressive!

metsandweezer · 01-10-2013, 05:42 PM

0 for 45

Redemption King · 01-11-2013, 01:31 PM

Just entered in 108 more codes from actual prospect challenge card and still not one blue wave pack. That is 0 blue wave packs in four cases!

How does Topps just keep on making it more difficult for us to acquire Blue Wave packs with every product they release??

darkman · 01-13-2013, 11:22 AM

not receiving my confirmation email.. is this normal or is there a delay in the email? just now registering....

kyaa · 01-20-2013, 04:26 PM

Is there a limit to the size of your roster?

stormshadow815 · 01-20-2013, 04:31 PM

You can enter as many codes as you want. But only 300 players exist in the system and you can only have 6 active at a time.

I had heard that a card fan whom is a member of Anonymous got no hits in a box and DOS'ed Topps :P

gr8azn · 01-20-2013, 10:01 PM

Anyone else get their codes emailed to them saying that the codes may not work right away? I got them about 2 weeks ago and they still do not work,
Damn Topps

Call them and bitch about it, I did this and they sent me working codes and said the other codes will still work eventually so I got some extra's.

allstarauction · 01-28-2013, 08:57 PM

Man this site is still a mess... Is everyone else still having problems with players they unlocked not showing up? I had unlocked every player, but now it only shows me unlocking a few players. Every time I contact them they play dumb and respond with a question to my question.

illadelf · 02-06-2013, 02:21 PM

Finally hit a Blue Wave pack after about 150 codes! This site is still a disaster though...you would really think they would have done something about it at this point.

BigSeph · 02-14-2013, 01:46 PM

I'm up to 80 codes and no blue wave packs.

Any idea when they're going to ship out the blue wave packs? I'll just buy them off ebay rather than buy codes trying to get em at this rate.

Lets say that packs fall every 100th code entered.

If you have 20 codes and you are the only person entering codes you better hope you enter code #100, otherwise, no pack for you!

If 100 other people are entering codes at the same time you are, you could theoretically hit 20 packs with your 20 codes, assuming you have psychic abilities and perfect timing.

stormshadow815 · 02-14-2013, 02:18 PM

Well I wouldn't expect anything till they actually have the website working correctly. We still dont even have the "My Prizes" page working. I have entered all my "Hit" codes that have provided a blue wave pack onto an excel spreadsheet, because knowing Topps they will attempt to say oh you didn't hit that many blue wave packs. I stopped entering codes a week ago for fear of this.

I'll continue entering codes once they finish the site. But currently I'm at 54 blue wave packs in 2700ish codes. Hopefully the site is up soon and we can claim the packs.
