Received in the mail a winning NPN entry on Powerplay hockey! Received a scratched Group D rookie redemption card. I am not sure how this works, but there was a note that said the card would be entered for me, which means I will get an extra of the Group D rookies. Would have been nice to get the Crosby group, but it is just nice to get one redemption.

Not bad, not sure how many I will do next year when postage goes up though.

That's an interesting one. Getting a group of RC cards isn't bad at all.

No, I am not sure who all is in each group, but I am still happy about getting this one.

I have not done that well with UD either. I usually get something for 50% of what I send in to Topps, and Fleer was about 30-50% return ratio, Playoff (et al) is like UD for me you get something every 3 to 6 months on an NPN, I cannot remember the last one from them.

Used to be real great when it started, now it is hit or miss. Nothing real great recently. For $0.37 it is no worse than buying a pack of cards. Sometimes you get something OK. My last one was a $15 bv hockey group d redemption card, so that was not too bad. When they first started I got a Jimmy Smith auto from Topps, and some great Game Used cards, but recent cards have been no where near as good.
