Does Topps offer a similar program this year with code cards redeemable for virtual cards that can be traded online for vintage cards?
If so, I plan on getting some more update cards for this season.
Thanks!

Topps changed their format this year. Last year's code cards were for the Diamond Giveaway and this year's version is called the Golden Giveaway. The only cards available this year are a new set manufactured exclusively for this giveaway program. They are no longer giving away various cards from Topps sets of the past. Here is an example of one of the Golden Giveaway cards...
The set includes current and past baseball players.
Also, you do not get a card with each code entered. In fact only about 1 in 15 codes will yield a card. The rest will get you a virtual coin that is virtually worthless.
