A little project that I decided to start

[ToppsFail.com]

Hi Guys

LONG time lurker here.

Thought I would alert you guys to a little project I decided to start. I don't have a whole lot of content up yet, but I am adding it every day. I search the internet and forum for topps redemption and other customer service horrors. I feel like we need to get all this information in the same place for posterity's sake.

The site is at Topps Fail | Displaying the interesting ways that the Topps company screws the pooch.

Awesome site. Nice to see someone ~do something rather than ~just complain.

thanks

Cool concept.

I'd consider that Heritage Dual an upgrade.

I'd consider that Heritage Dual an upgrade.

Was thinking that too.

It's like I said in my post. Most would be happy with that, but it's still a different card than promised.

Interesting concept and site... shouldn't be hard to fill with plenty of content.

Don't forget the triple auto'd ball(Mays, Griffey Jr. and Aaron I believe) that was replaced by a case of archives.

What would be illegal about it?

Nothing about this is illegal. Customers are always allowed to air greivance.

I tend to agree with this statement. Although I will say that I thought about any sort of legal ramifications. Could there be anything about the domain name? Thought there are laws or whatever out there about having domain names which are purchased and used on purpose to defame someone or something? I'm not a lawyer, so excuse my terms if incorrect :lol:

I don't really think they would have a leg to stand on to get upset over the name.

Kind of falls into this category but you should try to find the thread(s) on blowout about how a collector got Topps to realize they never fulfilled the Harvey platinum redemptions.

Months went by and he tweeted Topps again to which they replied something like "they forgot".

IMO you should stick to really bad redemption issues to prove your point, not borderline ones.

That heritage dual auto is most certainly a great upgrade.

Make sure to check out the thread on the Jimi Hendrix redemption fiasco on CU. I think it took one of those guys a lot of effort to make Topps pony up a decent replacement.
