If I were to combine redemptions (this is hypothetical since I don't have any right now) I'd probably get a Dillon Maples or Derrek Norris ... saw lots of those guys in Platinum a couple years ago.

Credit where credit is due! Topps, you might make me change my sig :)

Nice job on that gamble!
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.
If take that over Cano anyday, congrats man!

Your redemptions were probably higher value than mine, so who knows? The only thing I asked of the Topps rep .... I asked for an on-card auto. Maybe that helped?

Lucky for me, this was a 2 year old card that was either never redeemed or never packaged.

And you'd be lucky to get Norris, now that Machado made him a household name. (06-10-2014, 04:34 PM)ryanmo5 Wrote: If take that over Cano anyday, congrats man!Thanks, my friend! I agree ... but I'm just happy I didn't get a Dillon Maples instead. that gamble would have taken a really bad wrong turn!

Very nice upgrade. I wouldn't mind a Mattingly as he was one of the few Yankees I liked growing up - I was more of a Mets fan.
Not to hijack the thread as it's still Topps redemption related, I just noticed they sent out another one of mine (I had 4 remaining after my 2013 Gypsy Queen Pujols/Weaver/Wilson I posted I received the other night). I think they got their summer intern and he's doing a good job so far! However I also noticed an odd thing. My one redemption I got last week was 0.3 lbs, well packaged in a toploader and padded envelope, estimated at 6 days and was actually here in 5 days, and required a signature. This coming package is described as a 6"x6"x6" box weighing 1lb and estimated at 10 days delivery and does not require a signature. Kind of sounds like they may have combined all of my remaining redemptions into one shipment? They are all lower value so no sig required seems fine but why ship it FedEx then? I've had other lower value Topps redemptions sent USPS. Odd they didn't mark them all shipped though. Otherwise I'm not sure what I'm getting lol 
Um, wow! That's a beauty!

"Congrats and thanks for sharing"....Donnie was a good ballplayer and that is a nice looking card.
Haha....AWESOME, good call DrM! That is a great looking card and I know it def. takes the place of the ones you gave up. Maybe Topps is getting thier act together finally after pulling everything back in-house. Since we are on the topic of redemptions, did you see the Panini Football Redemption point program. Basically, you pull redemption cards that have point values. You can then trade your points in for cards they have listed in the program (think it's 1,250+ from various sports). Doing away with "redemption cards" of cards. Check it out.....maybe topps will start a similar program. I assume all the cards are ready.
*When it's all said and done - all we have left is our reputation.

First come first serve is not gonna work in favor of the average collector "little guys", it will cater to deep pockets who buy multiple cases upon release and then go turn in all the redemption points and take all the currently hot prospects on the redemption list to sell off. Granted I've been pretty lucky with my redemptions and got most of them very fast and of the player(s) they were supposed to be of. So while I dislike redemptions at least I've always gotten the card I was supposed to get. I know others have waited for ever and then ended up with replacements anyways. |
