I pulled a 2015 Dynasty Clayton Kershaw Redemption, which I thought was strange since I've seen a lot of the /5 and /10 cards live in the product. Did some eBay searching and found no 1/1's listed or sold. I did find 2 other redemption sales. I'm thinking the redemptions are for the 1/1's (?)...
Waiting for the bat knob card to be made X years later. The last Topps response basically said "I suggest you wait for the card cuz there's nothing else here to give you" or something like that...
Not gonna lose sleep over it. Just a cautionary tale for others LOL.
I remember pulling and selling a Strasburg RC auto for some ridiculous amount, I think I can buy it now for like $40-$50. Just blows my mind sometimes.
I don't really have an end game. I requested replacement and felt their counteroffer was weak, and they basically said take it or leave it haha. No other options but keep waiting I guess.

$1,498.00 for a non-auto printing plate has to be some kind of record.
No I ended communication with them on 3/6. They weren't budging and I'm not willing to take a lowball offer. Although if Kris Bryant autos keep soaring like they are I might regret it haha.
Just received this, heads up to anyone else that entered code cards...
Thank you so much for playing the Babe Ruth's Call Your Shot game found in Topps Baseball Series One. We have seen a great amount of participation and are excited to begin shipping prizes to all winners. In our effort to...
This is the reply I just sent:
"I appreciate the offer but would be primarily interested in something from Hall of Fame players (I think a HOFer 1/1 bat knob is a pretty rare). Not trying to be greedy, just hoping to get something more applicable to my collection. Let me know if you have...
Got another email unexpectedly this morning:
I'm not sure how I feel. Kinda want to ask for 2x Bryant instead of the Abreu. Any opinions?
**and I just realized those cards were not around in 2013 LOL**
Looks like the Abreu sells for <$90 and Bryants are getting $375-400...
Their email stated: "Once your agreement is sent, we will select a substitution card of equal-value, reflecting an athlete of the same sport. We unfortunately cannot guarantee any specific player, team, product or variation requests, though we certainly do try our best."
I'm not giving them...
I would have been satisfied with a $600 payday if I'd sold it on eBay, but I agree their definition of a $600 replacement card might be quite different.
What's also interesting to me is that Topps just has $600+ BV cards just laying around that should have been packed out with products. But...
Just horrible, please keep us updated. I'm in San Francisco & need to submit 8 Kris Bryant autos to BGS. I feel like I should drive 3hrs away to mail them LOL.
Just went through 29 more (scratching the autograph box every time)
only 1 winner:
I got the same automated email as soon as my credit card info was submitted for the shipping charges, but noticed there's nothing under the "my bag" tab... Is it like that for everyone?
LOL I think "remy" was the guy I got too... Gonna call today as I have yet to receive an email from a "manager" regarding BV$
Keep fighting the good fight Luck15!
