Question for NPN veterans

YankeePride · 11-01-2005, 03:46 PM

How frequently do you guys get cards? For Finest baseball & basketball, I sent in about 5 requests for each (to different return addresses), but haven't gotten a single reply yet. At about what frequency do you get successes off your submissions? How long do they tend to take before you get cards back?

Its just the luck of the draw.
Last year I got a couple from Topps this year I haven't done so well.
The 5 cards from 05 Leaf Century had a postmark of 4/13/05 and I just got those last week!
They usually start sending the NPN's out 1 month after the due date but Leaf was late.
I just sent some more into Topps last week and if they come it will be a nice surprise.
Good luck.

I don't really remember what I send out, usually baseball. So, that whenever they come and whatever I get is a nice surprise. It's sort of like a mini-Christmas thorough the year. Today, I received a 2004 Playoff Prime Cuts TL38 Timeline Century of Hal Newhouser non-gu'd (#06/10). I don't think that this is too bad, eh?

Usually there is such a big window (sometimes months) between when I send the NPNs in until they pull and ship them that I forget about them. It makes for a nice surprise when you do get them in the mail. I've probably sent in somewhere around 10 and picked up about 5 or so cards. I just got an ESPN 25th anniversary K-Mart /25. My one before that was Finest Deng auto RC which was numbered to 200 and something (225 maybe?). Definitely worth a stamp and a few minutes.
