Thanks for your help before.....<br />
<br />
I am also curious how Beckett or hobbiest handle Redemptions that are never produced? There are several player like Martin Prado that UD made redemption cards for but never produced an actual card. Are the redemption cards then considered the card? The interesting part is that some of the printing plates were inserted into packs. I do have three of the printing plates for the Ultimate set, but no actual card was released.<br />
<br />
As an example any of the 2006 Upper Deck Ultimate/SP/Sweet Spot AU cards for Prado.<br />
<br />
Does Beckett Grade the Redemption cards? Sorry as a player collector I have found this aspect of the hobby confussing since my return.<br />
<br />
Again thank you for your previous answer.

<br />
<br />
The values that people pay for redemption cards are tracked until the point of expiration (at which point, they, in theory, are not worth anything in return). There are rare instances where people will buy/collect expired redemptions for whatever reason, though, too.<br />
<br />
If cards are not made, they are removed from checklists -- if they are announced as not being made.<br />
<br />
I presume BGS could grade a redemption card... not sure if I have heard of that happening, though.<br />
