Topps Golden Giveaway Die Cuts

So what are the value for the die cuts? Depends on who you ask. For a long time one could get 100 codes for $200. With these 100 codes, most people are only getting 4 or 5 die cut cards. So one could say that the value of the die cuts are $40 or $50 each. However, Topps has estimated each card at $2 each if you read their fine print on their Golden Giveaway site. My guess is that these cards will initially book high and as the promotion continues, will fall in value just like last year's die cuts did. More die cuts will continue to be released thus increasing the supply available. With more cards available, the price of these are sure to drop. It was my impression from reading the sale sheets that we would be able to use our coins to bid on prizes. There was also talk of an ultimate die cut card. Maybe Topps will add these things that they advertised. They also stated that there will be gold embedded 1/1 cards. Sadly, zero gold embedded 1/1 cards have been unlocked 48 hours into this promotion. It seems to me that since there has been no word from Topps in the way of advertising this promotion via Topps Facebook or Twitter accounts, or even their own web site, they pretty much expected this promotion to be not as exciting as last year and as in 2010. However, Topps still could come through if they announce a list of prizes that collectors can bid on with all those coins they have accumulated. They should do something or the series 2 and update sets will not sell very well. What are your thoughts? Let's hear them!
