I can't speak for myself because I've only ever had a Tyson Ross auto replaced, but whoever buys the card on the left that I pulled will be posting in this thread in a year or two.

Fleer went out of business and I never got replacements for my redemptions. Haven't redeemed a card since.

My best redemption to be replaced actually turned out pretty good for me.
I had a Matt Harvey Green Platinum auto redemption pending that I chose to have replaced at the height of his popularity. Topps ended up sending me a 2010 BDPP Machado Chrome auto.

Had a Steve Carlton on card auto patch card from 2010 Sterling low numbered (don't remember) that ended up being on of those fake non packed out cards of Fielder w/ a sticker auto
That will be my last redemption filled, ever.

I will always hate the memory of Fleer for their poorly timed bankruptcy with regard to a half dozen or so different Garvey redemption cards that they never made. It pisses me off that i bought each one for the purpose of completion and to redeem them for the "prizes" but it makes it ever worse that my replacements were a bunch of crappy low end autos of mixed sports after they settled their redemption cases.
To top it all off, I had a couple dupes and held back the actual redemption cards on those to see if it would be worth keeping them as a "variation" to the actual redeemed cards (I got them cheap enough, I guess), but didn't have dupes of all of them. I ended up losing 3-4 different redemption card variations too and I'd much rather have the unredeemed cards back than the crap they sent me, so the couple that I held back are all that i have to remind of this royal screwing I got!

Hey George,
I was on the phone with Topps a couple weeks back because I need to return some apparel and while I had someone on the phone I decided to ask them about redemptions I had. Luckily the dude on the phone was super helpful and checked all my owed cards (4 Hank Aarons and 4 Griffey Jr's). He filled me in on the 2012 A&G Griffey's (I'm owed the red ink and base auto).....they are signed but need to be framed. The next framing session will contain these A&G Griffey's (so he said).
At any rate, I got 6 out of my 8 owed cards yesterday in the mail. So, we wait a little while longer for our Griffeys.......
Thanks for the info.....but this is not the first time I have heard this. The only cards left to frame from 2012 are Rafer Johnson (I am owed one), Matt Kemp (owed base and red ink) and Jr.

I don't play the redemption game. I get one, I sell it. My life is much better for it.

Did a little scanning this afternoon and this thread prompted me to dig up the unredeemed Fleer cards. i have 5 different. I thought I sent one of each in and kept the dupes, but maybe I played it smart and only sent in the dupes to see what I would get before sending in the others. That would make me feel a little better, but I am still pissed at Fleer.
See, I truly want it all and the redemption cards themselves are as collectible to me as the actual prize! Each of these were victim of the bankruptcy and since nothing Garvey ever surfaced, it is reasonable to say that these were never even made.

Now that I think about it, maybe Fleer knew they were going under and the redemptions were a way to save money, but still sell product. Maybe they never intended to fulfill these redemptions at all!!! So many different cards and all redemptions. Hmmmm???

I checked and it is already set to that. Maybe I am using the wrong link option. Looks like I use the slideshow option. is a different one more appropriate?
