I bought my second jumbo box of 2010 Topps - and recently redeemed the ten code cards within the box. For a comparison, check out this post to see my first ten redeeemed cards.
On to the cards, in reverse chronological order:
1994 - Wilson Alvarez
This happened to be the last code I redeemed, what a letdown that was. Oh well, it's hard to complain too much about "free" cards!
1993 - Rich Monteleone
Another card I have no interest in. It's for trade, along with the Alvarez should anyone be trying to complete either set...
1988 - Ray Knight
So far, so boring! Of course, that's bound to happen when I reveal this in backwards chronological order huh?
1987 - Dave Winfield
That's more like it - I knew there'd be at least one 1987 Topps cards in there. Sheesh, this set is even overproduced in an online giveaway!
1985 - Andre Thornton
I actually need a bunch of 1985 cards still...unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. Bummer!
1974 - Fred Scherman
I kind of like the '74 set - it'd be a nice set to have in a Heritage-type set as well!
1965 - Dennis Ribant
I don't know much about Ribant, but I do like the look of this card! I'm curious as to the condition of the "actual card" that I would be sent if Topps were to mail this to me... There's a big difference (especially in older cards) in condition and value...
1965 - Les Narum
Sweet, another 1965 card. That makes up for the 80s and 90s crap in my book!
1961 - Ken Walters
Ah, now we are talking. This '61 is the second 1961 card I've "won." The first was redeemed from a card in my first jumbo box.
1961 - Don Elston
Ok, first, I'm not one to complain about getting another 1961 card...BUT I "won" the exact same card with my last batch of redemption cards. It's amazing that Topps has started to Bip me with '61 Don Elstons. Perhaps I've been Don'd rather than Bip'd!
All together, not a bad round of redemptions. 4 out of the 10 cards were from the 1960s which is awesome! The second Elston that I got is also available for trade, preferably for a 1961 card of a Red but I'd consider other cards as well!
And so, the final question... Can I keep myself from buying a third jumbo box of Topps? I'm betting I'd be willing to if I could find someone who wanted to help offset some of the cost by buying all the base cards...

I got a copy of that Dennis Ribant card signed through the mail a couple of years ago. He has the distinction of being the first Mets' starting pitcher to finish a season with a winning record.
