Just saw an article that Hyun-Jin Ryu will likely have shoulder surgery and be out all season.
For Dodgers fans it has to be a little upsetting, but the team does not seem to be missing him much.
For me it's just another example about how incredibly ridiculous the redemption process is.
I bought a large stack of Ryu RC auto card redemptions back in 2013. As he was a pretty highly touted young player, I paid quite a bit for them. Waiting on the cards I had to weather the 2014 season, hoping he pitched well enough to keep prices at a decent level. Meanwhile of course Topps produced newer Ryu autograph cards (and the ones I was waiting for, from Topps Chrome were sticker autos, so they could have made the cards had they chosen.
Now it's almost 2 years later and Ryu goes down with an injury. I'd requested a replacement via email a while back but never heard from Topps. Meanwhile the injury could easily knock the prices of his cards down, and of course that leaves me out to dry.
Lesson learned I guess.
