zelman7 Wrote:Chris,$0$0$0$0I was looking around the internet about possibly purchasing a box of 2001 Bowman Chrome, but have also seen that there was a deadline (June 30, 2003) to redeem certain inserted cards (i.e. Albert Pujols Rookie Auto). So my questions are: Is there still a way to redeem a special insert if one is to be found in a pack? What does Topps/Bowman do if a redemption card is sent in past the redemption deadline? And what happens to all those non-redeemed cards of theirs if they don't honor the redemption past the deadline? $0$0$0$0$0If there isn't a way to redeem an insert, then what is the point in paying over $600 for a box when the very best cards can't be had?$0$0$0$0$0Thanks for your help and time.$0$0$0$0$0Jeff$0<br />

Pujols was a redemption, which has expired. Once redemptions expire, Topps (or any other company) has full right to do whatever it wants with the leftover cards -- use them as replacements for other unavailable cards, give them away, sell them, destroy them, etc. (It's the company's property.)<br />
The reason dealers put that kind of a pricetag on the 2001 Chrome boxes is because they can -- too many people blindly buy not realizing Pujols was a redemption.<br />
