The 2011 Topps Diamond Giveaway cards were a joke for two reasons.
I redeemed 22 cards and got cards going all the way back to the 60s. Instead of trading them I decided to have the cards sent to me, as Topps offered to do. After filling out the online form I found out that it was going to cost me $15 in S&H for the 22 cards.
The second reason was the fact that some of the cards sent to collectors were in terrible condition. I know a collector that received cards that were missing corners and creased so bad they would have been lucky to grade out a 1.
One nice thing about the 2012 Archives cards is that the autos are on the card and not those stickers.
