Topps did a redemption at the National for those who brought an unopened box of 2012 Bowman Platinum. Redemption was limited to the first 100 each day of the show. I have no problem with limiting the number, but I do object to the way Topps handled it. On Friday (which was the only day I could participate) I got to the entrance line over 30 minutes early, then when the doors opened (at 9:30 for VIPS) I moved as fast as my ancient legs would take me to get into the Topps line. There I languished for an hour and a half, only to get within sniffing distance of the table (two people in front of me) and hear them say "no more Platinum redemptions". Two people short! To say I was pissed is putting it mildly. Could not Topps figure out some way (tickets, anyone?) to let the people know definitely whether they were going to get a redemption without having to stand in line for an hour and a half? I'll never do it again.

I agree. Topps handled that promo rather poorly.
Collecting Orioles, Ravens, and Topps Baseball sets 57, (Finally finished 58!), 67, and 69 (need only 2!). Also, MLB HOF Autos.
Sorry to here about that. I hope you atleast got a decent box of Platinum.
