... with Panini.
TL, DR: Eddie George redemption auto replaced with 6th-round WR from Wyoming
Bought a box of 2006 Contenders an got a redemption. Not the end of the world by any means, but I've sent in redemptions in the past and they've been kind enough to send a replacement or the genuine article.
The rest of the box was pretty bad. Best card was the redemp, otherwise it went to a Darryl Tapp rc auto. Not a bad player, but he's bounced around a bit. The other two didn't make it in the NFL.
The redmption was for an Eddie George auto /200. Fantastic card, in comparison to the others.
I asked Panini customer service via twitter if they could take care of it, and the reply was an instantaneous yes. I sent it in, knowing it would likely be a replacement, someone newer perhaps or a vet from another set. Or even some higher points to redeem as the card is valued around 40 and sells for at least 20.
I did not get any of those things.
I realize the product is from 2006, then bought in 2014, but with the willingness by them to redeem it I was encouraged.
It took 11 months and 1 week. A short time compared to some of you I'm sure, but this is what I received.
Robert Herron Prizm base non-numbered rookie auto.
Eddie George was taken 14th overall in the 1996 draft after winning the Heisman Trophy. He was the rookie of the year, 4x pro bowler, 10,000+ rushing yards and was inducted into the college football hall of fame in 2011.
Robert Herron was selected 185th last year and this base Prizm recently sold for $0.99.
I feel slapped in the face.
