I made the same mistake when I mailed in my 1996 Leaf mail in return for an autograph card. Now I still do not have the mail in card. I only have the autograph leaf card and the autographed century card.

this maybe true on some redemptions be not the 96 ultra they had to be redemed by 12-1-96 we 'some collectors at a local flea market! were still busting cases in 97 for packwars! we were getting these at $60 a case on the wholesale market.there was a lot printed! out of the 10 cases we busted we got 1 just 1 gold. the odds were 1/750 packs. we should have gotten 2-3. people stopped buying them retail because of this.thats why you could get them on the wholesale market later cheep! on the other hand the collectors choice crash the game of 97 & 98 you could get boxes retail for $19.99 right away! i would say about 95% of the instant win crash the game cards were mailed in. they were the same odds as the ultra but you got 36 packs per,the ultra were 24 a box. if an instant win comes on of Juan watch out! they are very rare.
