Well, I would argue that the case of Bowman Jumbo is not worth $1,000 and even if you disagree to that, I redeemed one high end Harper and feel I am due one (or a few) high end cards as a replacement. If you think trading my one card for 3,072 of them is fair, then please let me know what high...
But that's just it. I'm not out to "screw Topps". I want to be in this hobby a long time / I love breaking and collecting. I don't want to take down the system, I want to improve the system, so that it's more enjoyable for me in the future (and for others).
I wouldn't say zilch. I did open (and am holding) more than 200 cases of Bowman Chrome and Draft from '12.
But I understand your point. Reality however would suggest that boycotting Topps is not going to happen. If you and I did it, someone else would step in our place and pick up the slack...
When I redeemed the Harper, it was a $1,500 card. Are you suggesting that Topps should be allowed to send me a replacement at anytime during this time period, and can pick the lowest value the card is/was?
Also, you say get them on social media, email reps. You should know that I've emailed...
No, I disagree. After seven months and over 150 hours on the phone with Topps, I received the offer of a Jumbo case of '13 Draft (even though since day one, I said no to wax). There is absolutely no way I am taking another case of cards from Topps after that long of a back and forth (in which...
"This REDEMPTION CODE must be received or entered onto www.Topps.com/redemptions no later than the expiration date listed on the reverse side of this card. Allow 12 to 15 weeks for processing. Substitutions of equal or greater value will be made if the insert is unavailable for any reason."...
Well fellas, I'm doing the best I can here (I think).
For seven months, I've been nothing but kind and courteous to all Topps staff, and I'm looking only for a fair replacement of one or two cards (baseball or football). Not once in that time period of 50+ calls, 25+ emails was I ever offered...
Good for you in getting your order today at least!
My 20-day guaranteed service is going on business day 30 tomorrow / this sure is a frustrating hobby/business/investment.
Less hits is fine ...
But with less than 1,000 packs redeemed, you would think that with 5% of the run, I would have hit at least one auto. It looks as if there are no autos outside of a select few of the bottom signers anyway.
Just a terrible terrible promotion by Topps / shameful.
I think I've done a pretty good job keeping the Cingrani market on the up and up. Bowman Chrome is not an easy set to do it with as there are ~1,400 base autos but with more than half of those autos off the market, it keeps the supply and demand in check. If Tony can get back to AAA having...
Now how is that Jaypers? One month ago you said "I have it on good authority that the Blue Wave packs will be shipping in the coming weeks" and now you say you have no such informational source?
I was ridiculed for saying that the Blue Wave packs would not be shipped until after Bowman was...
