That a pretty good point actually.

To me, Topps is making the same types of mistakes that Upper Deck was making. Upper Decks' mistakes lead to the MLB granting the exclusive license to better protect the consumer.

They shouldn't even make redemptions because if they are not completely positive they will get them, it only looks bad on them when they have to replace with a crappy substitute.

 

[Logan2500]

It's also about a sort of bragging right that makes it worse.
Yea I got a gold infused autographed baseball of 3 of some of the best baseball players.
Oh yea I got a case a archives. How bout that!

If this is accurate this is a monumental screw up by Topps. People will still continue to purchase their products though and still pay big bucks for these type of redemptions. Buyer beware!

By "challenge", they mean that it's hard to get Willie to lower his signing fee to something Topps wants to pay.

I think there were only 20 total golden tickets for these balls given out... Topps is replying as if its a redemption for like an item where thousands were released lol...

Like if we looked hard, we could probably locate the holders of at least half... Sh!t, I know of 3! Haha

As someone said earlier, they should at least give autos of the 3 named players... I will tell you a "deal" wasn't agreed upon for a few cases of crappy Archives.

By "deal" they probably mean they gave them a choice of 2 or 3 things, and said "pick one." I doubt anyone asked for Archives on their own.

Thanks Topps!

Who spends over $1000 on a Topps redemption card? 98% of the time you don't get what you are supposed to get .

The same people that spend that much on Topps wax in hopes that they get their money back or, god willing, turn a profit on it. At least with this, if things go as intended, you know what you're going to get in the end.

Massive screw up on Topps' parts. Ridiculous.

Willie has always been a fickle signer. He has been known to refuse signing items that have already been signed by others, especially if that other is Hank Aaron.

Anyone read the tweets? Sounds like a few including the shop owner asked for a replacement and got it.

This is just crap. On a side note I still have not recieved my redemption from 2012 Archives mini 83 autograph of Fergson Jenkins.

 

[joey12508]

topps should look how leaf handles redemptions. i know leaf gets a lot of flack on here, but was very happy with the way that sent me mine.

Yes so in another words they accepted it like morons and now want to cause a stink because they feel entitled to more? I dont get the point, if you accept it you are the dope not topps.

 

[bongo870]

Cant blame Topps if a player refuses to sign. If you took a deal for a replacement then how can anyone complain? I would of refused a deal called the BBB and look into pressing issues until they took really good care of me for this....

Bingo!

Had two customers yesterday tell me how impressed they were on how fast they got their leaf redemptions back.

For something on the magnitude of a $1000 gold infused auto ball, you would think topps was totally sure it could be made, especially how they trumpeted the fact they had those 3 guys under contract.

It should ahve been made even before they announced it. This way this can't happen. But hey it is Topps the idea is always good, but the execution sucks as always.
