What happens to cards when the redemptions expire?

abncollectsautos · Jun 5, 2009

I am very curious. The player i collect made has his nicest cards in 2007 Bowman Chrome. When the boxes came out, his autos were through redemption. I dont know about all of them, but i know most if not all were by redemption. His redemptions expire in a few months, but i know there are some that have not been pulled and/or redeemed.

My question is what happens to his cards once the expiration date comes? I am curious and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope my grammer is correct.

not my scan

I wonder if his super is sitting there as a Redemption.

Stolen by employees, back doored, or used as replacements.

I wonder the same thing. I own the only three reds that have ever popped up. The super is also still missing. I could see the base autos being replacemtns or something, but what about the higher end

I heard once that all cards not redeemed are destroyed.

No, they usually keep them in stock to replace other cards.

I'm sure you are joking, but if not this is incorrect.

Back when I owned my card shop Topps would have workshops in various areas and they would bring alot of the top guys in their organization for dealer Q and A. I asked the question as to what happens to the cards that are not redeemed and I was told that they were destroyed. When asked why they would not put a promotion together to give these cards to loyal customers we were told that it would ruin the integrity of the cards that were redeemed. I understand their point of view but it would be terrible to have quality cards destroyed.

Actually when they did the redemption for 2001 Elite RCs /1000 not all were redeemed. The rest were destroyed.

They don't destroy anything.

At UD, the un-redeemed cards are re-inserted into later products as "buybacks" or used as "equal value" replacements for redemptions that are worth far more.

Cool, what about Topps though? Bowman is a product of Topps.

I'm pretty sure all the 2001 bowman chrome Pujols rookies were "destroyed" (salvaged). Of course, some (most) accidentally missed the disintegrator, and ended up falling into Sy Berger's great grandson's pokemon card collection, mysteriously housed in topps uncirculated holders. He currently uses those as cupholders.
