Well to make a long story short, on February 11th 2012 I redeemed a 2011 Panini Gridiron Gear Rookie Gridiron Gems Combo Prime Signatures Ryan Williams /15. Needless to say I completely forgot about it up until last week when I made a trade for an unredeemed 2011 Absolute Hakeem Nicks auto /25. After redeeming the Nicks, I called Panini to find out the status of the Ryan Williams. The Panini representative told me the Williams still wasn't available and he could check the value of it and send me something similar in it's place if I didn't want to wait any longer. Well with the horror stories I've heard on most of these sites about redemptions, and having gotten scrub auto replacements myself I was pretty hesitant to do this. I took a gamble and asked if I could request a NY player. The rep said "Sure, Jets or Giants?" I replied Giants. He said he would send the replacement and the Nicks out right away. Today I got this...

David Wilson Momentum 6/25



Although it's not as low numbered, it does hold a higher value than the Williams.

I'd be happy with it.

Glad the redemption worked out for you. Great looking card. Awesome patches on it.

Wow - awesome card! Panini seems to be trying a little harder to make customers happy with replacements. Of course we'd be a LOT happier if we didn't get them in the first place.

Glad to see everything worked out. I pretty much always opt for the replacement unless it's a PC guy that I'm waiting for. Peyton and Griffey always sign their cards though!

That's a nice card. Panini seems to have a huge stash of David Wilson cards available for replacements though, which is weird.

I had 2 redemptions I was waiting on for Dexter McCluster that didn't get signed (at least for a long time). They sent me the 2 cards, one marked "NO AUTOGRAPH", the other finally auto'd, AND they sent me 2 really nice mem/auto cards of David Wilson as well...

Yeah that is a nice card! My Panini redemption story is getting a Kaepernick Contenders RC for a 2010 Contenders Max Komar. Of course at the time they booked the same but I was happier with the Kap than I would have been with a WR I have still never heard of outside of this particular card.
