Dayf's post about the Topps Transmogifier being constantly stuck on 1980s cards got me thinking. Given the Million Card Giveaway's slogan is "win back the cards your mother threw out," and since a lot of us seemed to begin collecting in the 1980s, is the transmogifier sensing this somehow and spitting about a bunch of '87 Topps wood grain finish cards because those are the ones our hypothetical mothers would have hypothetically tossed? (you know, if we hadn't obsessively catalogued every card and kept them under lock and key)

To test my theory, when I signed up for my account on the website, I put in my dad's birthday. I'm now expecting to get a bunch of 1950s cards. I'll let you all know when I unlock the Mantle.
