Ketel Marte Steals Taco Bell® for Life
Ketel Marte and the winning TacoFractor Card
FAQs
- What is a TacoFractor?
- A TacoFractor is a Topps insert card issued in 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball and 2023 Topps Cosmic Chrome Baseball. The TacoFractor card can be used to win the “Steal Taco Bell for Life” contest (“Tacos for Life” equals a $15K gift card as further described in the terms below). There are two types of TacoFractors: player-specific TacoFractors, and a TacoFractor Wild Card.
- How do I win Tacos for Life?
- If you have a TacoFractor player card or TacoFractor Wild Card, congratulations, you have a dope card! If you have a TacoFractor of the first player to steal a base, or an eligible TacoFractor Wild Card (see below for description), you must submit your card before December 31, 2023. Remember, only submit a claim for a TacoFractor card of the first player who steals a base during the 2023 MLB World Series™. No other TacoFractors will be eligible (other than eligible TacoFractor Wild Card cards as described below).
- What players are eligible for a TacoFractor redemption?
- See chart above.
- What is the TacoFractor Wild Card, and what players are eligible?
- The TacoFractor Wild Card can be used for any player who does not have their own TacoFractor card. If the player who is first to steal a base during the 2023 MLB World Series™ is not featured on a TacoFractor card, then the holder of the TacoFractor Wild Card may redeem the “Tacos for Life” award. To determine the players who are eligible for TacoFractor redemption, consult the chart above.
