RE: 2011 Topps Lineage... Gutted :(
That's a sore one! If a general tweet doesn't work I'd try the redemption, if they refuse I'd start tweeting them again, with things like @PaniniUSA honour older redemptions so why not Topps, get as much negative press going their way. Got a be worth it for those 2 cards! Good luck.

Expiring redemptions are BS.
Chances are, had you pulled those when they were originally released, you would have had to wait a number of months if not years to receive them.
But when the shoe is on the other foot, Topps - with about a 60-year head start on Panini - can't figure out a way to honor expired redemptions.
I pulled a redemption for this Kobe Bryant auto out of a re-pack blaster of basketball cards at my local Target.
I was freaking out about it because it had been expired for a couple of years at that point, but I emailed Customer Service at Panini and they said go for it.
I got it about a week later:
There's no reason Topps can't do it. They just don't want to.
