RE: I just don't understand Topps anymore
Well seeing what they gave you for that Puig redemption, maybe they won't have this either and actually send you Mike Trout to make good?

For the price of a hobby box I can add nearly 100 cards to my collection from my want list instead of having hundreds of cards to trade for what I really want.
I wish I would have learned that fact sooner, now I have about 70 monster boxes full of junk that I would love to give away in trade for some PC stuff

I don't see why people still play their games, even if you collect a certain player the amount of money you would spend on boxes or cases you probably can get just buying though ebay. I was a pack opener till about 3 years ago and that was the biggest mistake of my life. If I just saved my money I would probably own 3 to 5 of the 1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold Jeter cards I want so badly that will cost me an arm and a leg now.

Redemptions should not be inserted into packs unless the item for which it is being redeemed is on hand and ready to ship.
Just my humble opinion.

RE: I just don't understand Topps anymore
Some of the stuff they pull is crazy. I am going through a similar issue. I pulled a touch by greatness auto/handprint from 2013 topps archives. At this point in time they don't even know who will be the player focused in the card. I asked for a replacement and they couldn't give me a replacement value because they don't know who is in the card. So I can't have the card and I can't have a replacement. This card was supposed to be made over a year ago. It is nuts.

RE: I just don't understand Topps anymore
I don't know this feeling. Every time I get a redemption card it's from a set where it's already expired.
