used redemptions for sale?!
I've been seeing a lot of auctions on the bay lately for already used redemption cards. Although I realize the seller has the right to put them up for sale, and they are being honest...I just don't see the point. It's not like the redemption cards have a picture of the player on the card, it's just words. The most ridiculous part, though, is that people are bidding on them.
Just wanted to put that one out there!

Probably a good number of them aren't reading the description properly. They probably think they're bidding on an actual unused redemption card. There were several times that I almost put a bid on one that wasn't so clearly stated. There were other bidders, too ... Figured nobody would bid on an expired one, right?
Late at night, after a beer or three even the best of us could get fooled into it.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

I watch some of those auctions just to get a laugh. A used Harper red auto redemption ended at something like 86 bucks the other day. Just a useless piece of cardboard.

There are some people that are master set builders and feel they need them redeemed or not. I know it sounds stupid but it is true.
