Okay. So you have the 2018 Topps Home Run Challenge baseball cards. Now what?

2018 Topps Home Run Challenge Game Details

Fundamentally, the 2018 Topps Home Run Challenge gameplay is pretty simple. Turn over the card to find a scratch-off section. This reveals a number which you add to your Topps.com account along with your guess for the exact date when the player on the card will hit a home run. The act can either be a traditional home run or an inside-the-park home run.

Those collectors who choose wisely win a free parallel card for the depicted player. There are different parallels for each month of the promotion, and you can continue to enter guesses for the same player(s) as long as you have unredeemed codes.

2018 Topps Home Run Challenge Game Rules

The 2018 Topps Home Run Challenge game does have several rules to be aware of before you enter. First, once you confirm a date, your selection is locked. Also, if the player is injured or the game is postponed on the date selected, your chance to win a parallel is gone. And, no matter how many home runs are hit by the player on the date, you can only win one parallel per submission. But you can apply multiple codes for the same player to the same date, if you want. That might be an ideal move if you know a doubleheader is happening.

Topps does allow submissions to be finalized up until 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the day prior to the date in question, so collectors can still be fairly certain their player will at least be active.

In addition, every redeemed code is entered in a monthly raffle for various Topps prizes, such as autographs or memorabilia, and entered in the raffle for the grand prize. For one lucky collector, the grand prize is a trip for two to the 2019 MLB Home Run Derby in Cleveland.

2018 Topps Home Run Challenge Winners

Because the promo is based on guessing the exact game a player will hit a home run, most of the winner cards issued for 2018 Topps Home Run Challenge Baseball have low print runs. Each card is serial numbered and covers an entire month of HRC action with a different color for each month. However, the first batch combines results for March and April.
