First Time For Everything
I had 4 redemption cards waiting in suspended animation for months and years. 2 of which were recent the other 2 were from a few years ago. I called Topps expecting the worse but I was on the phone with a guy who actually was really nice and cool. He told me that my cards were not ready because of signing difficulties and asked if I wanted to replace them. I told him YES!!!! I waited long enough. Instead of being rushed off the phone he had asked what team I collect and of course I told him Yankees. He asked if I wanted the 4 replacements to be Yankees but I told him half and half give me 2 Yankees and surprise me with the others. He went on to tell me he would give me double the value of my redemptions because I waited so long. I just had to share this experience with you because not all interactions with Topps are bad. I will post what they gave me when they come in and we shall see if he pulls through.

I'll be curious to see what you get! What were the original redemption cards for? Also, is it safe to assume you'll have something in hand shortly then?

Don't be surprised if Topps has a different opinion for "value" of the cards you should have got.

Does Topps have the rights to a Jeter Auto?
