Either it's really great and you're too busy dancing around or it was suckville?
So?
C'mon, the suspense is killing me ... I just told two patients to reschedule
LOL. So that's why my waiting room time is so long!
No, I just got distracted by my wife.
Break Summary
Grade: C
Comments: I do like this product, despite the redemptions (24 total – nearly five a case) and believe I managed to get adequate value from it. Unfortunately, it was mostly at presale prices. I think a fair case price is probably about $725, with anything over $800 being too expensive, while current prices are close to $1000. I worry a lot about the sale of single boxes from opened cases also. If you buy this product, do not expect a Puig auto, and stick to unopened cases from trusted retailers, or to boxes from cases you know not to have been picked over. Thanks for reading my break; I hope to be back later this summer with some 2013 Bowman Chrome.

LOL -- that would have been awesome. Unfortunately, nothing in this case was even worth scanning.

Sorry man! Stinker of a case.
The Machado doesn't suck, though.But really didn't get your value. Was hoping you'd get that Puig card!
My sympathies!
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.

If Topps can't get these autos done in time don't put out the product. To make people send out and wait for cards is ridiculous.

I received 20 redemption replacements in the mail in the last couple of days. 18 of them were over 2 years old. The irony is that, along with the replacement, came a letter stating that Topps is actively working to reduce the number of redemptions in their products. 2013 Inception is their most recent product. Um?
