What do you do with those crack the code cards? They all look the same to me.

yeah, i dont know either

The Crack The Code cards are promo cards for the contests. To crack the code, you have to get all 20 World's Greatest Victories cards and then figure out the code that's listed on all of them. Once you crack the code, you go to topps.com and enter it. If you are the first to crack the code, you will be featured on your own card in next year's Topps A&G...

What do you do with those crack the code cards? They all look the same to me.

that's because you got one of the inserts that they use to advertise the contest. there are actual cards, that are in packs.

anybody else get theirs?

I got mine awhile ago, dont even remember what I got out of those 6 packs, mostly base.

I think I got my packs already, but I'm on vacation so I'm not sure
