What should I do? Redemption Question
As the title says, what should I do?
I am waiting for a redemption for a Topps Finest Autographed Rookie Refractor of Mike Moustakas. It was supposed to ship tomorrow, but of course they are 15 weeks behind.
Should I wait on this one or request a replacement card?
I also had a Aaron Crow Auto Refractor that was supposed to ship the same time, but I requested a replacement card for that. I was going to do the same for the Moustakas, until I noticed the BV was a lot higher than the Crow. I do not know anything about either player, so I didn't know if Moustakas was a bigger prospect than Crow.
I collect Allen & Ginter, Aroldis Chapman, Yoan Moncada, and Cuban Players!

Moose as he is called in the Royals is a great hitter. He will probably be the opening day 3rd base men for them. If you can wait it out. Just recently I noticed about 2 weeks ago my redemption shipped. Checked the tracking but it did not help. Last week I received both cards I was waiting on. Aroldis Chapman and Bubba Starling. I had to sign for the starling but it was worth the wait.

I have like 8 redemptions that i got emails about saying they were passed the waiting period or whatever. Im too busy to sit on the phone with those morons and go over each one and get it replaced. So annoying. Id just wait it out, hes a pretty highly touted prospect

It's not worth getting replacements really. I'd just wait it out!

My first six redemptions from topps = 6/6 100%
My last six redemptions from topps = 1/6 17%
Three of them I could care less about, and I'm just going to leave them in there forever just to see if they actually do something when I have a redemption that is 10 years old still sitting there.
These two however, I'll be pissed if they try to send me some other "equivalent BV" junk. Just got the email about the Johnson, and I'm sure next month I'll get the email for Holmes.

it takes as long as Topps wants to to take and they often make the mistake of shipping to an old address if you've moved recently... i constantly get called to pick up my redeemptions from the old house where i lived, THREE YEARS AGO! Fix it TOPPS!
