2011 Chrome Refractor Auto Redemption - no player name?

[jlyles]

Anyone know anything about this? My buddy just pulled it at the shop and asked to see if you guys knew anything.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like Topps is trying to avoid stepping in the hole rather than having to dig themselves out of it, considering the difficulties they always seem to have with fulfilling redemptions.


If they include no player name, makes it easier for them to go to plan B with less outrage if plan A doesn't work out.

No way. Save that for 2011 draft/ 2012 bowman.

Joke. I was thinking of more keyword SPAM ideas.

I'd imagine we have to wait and see who didn't get packed out or maybe if he redeems it, the Topps site will say.

Best case (i.e. fictional) scenario - either Jacob Turner or Eric Hosmer.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I'm hoping for more scout autos.

Someone on BO's boards just unlocked a Prospect Mystery Redemption, and it turned out to be Darin Mastrioanni.

There's your added value right there. It's like front-loading a wrapper redemption...

So far its guys that were TBD and recently filled in on the checklist. Looks like Topps screwed up and forgot to print the names.

The lay-out of the card seems a little too tight and measured for there to just be a name missing.

I still hope it's TBD guys. Maybe it Red Hot rookies all over again. Wouldn't THAT be awesome?

I just thought of this but this is going to KILL group breaks.

If 5 guys are blank name autos and no one knows who is who, a team break will have just been screwed over.

Why? Andrew can just input the code in and find out who it is and then ship the card to the owner(s) when redeemed.

"I would think that card COULD go crazy on ebay. Seriously.

Until Topps announces, let the general public buy into 2011 Bowman, Harper, and redemptions, and let them make their own conclusions. "

Gotta side with Mark here Charlie. Not sure how this is screwing the buyer in any case. Just throwing up the redemption for auction and letting them decide who it could be...not sure how that screws the buyer.
