CODE PANEL UNSCRATCHED

The silver scratch-off panel on the back has never been touched. The 2022 Home Run Derby promotion it pointed to has long since closed, so the code has no redemption value - but an intact panel is what separates a collectible copy of this insert from a used one.

Why This Card Matters

Topps ran the Home Run Challenge as a live promotion: buyers scratched the panel, registered the code, and picked a game date they thought the pictured player would go deep, with a grand prize trip to the 2022 Home Run Derby. That means most copies in circulation have been scratched, and an intact panel like this one is the harder version to find even though it was never a separate parallel. Javier Baez, pictured in the Wrigley Field batting cage, had hit 31 home runs in the 2019 season before the shortened one, making him a reasonable pick for the game. The promotion has long since expired, so this is collected as an insert rather than as a live code.
