after 2 long years, my Darin Mastroianni chrome ref autos /500 arrive from Topps!

How beautiful are these on-card chrome prospect refractor autos from 2011 Bowman?

Hey, at least the player selection is okay. I think I'd rather have the Guerrero than the Mastroianni

Topps should have been at Twinsfest in January.
Darin was there an hour and thirty minutes each day signing. Well thats the timeframe he was scheduled for. I bet he signed for 20 mins max each day. Topps could have knocked out all of the missing autos in a couple of sessions.

Did he only sign for 20 minutes because that's all who came through his line?

Man, if that was the case, I wish I would have been there for it!

Yes, was dead at Twinsfest this year.
The lines were non-existent after about 20-30 mins, outside of Mauer and Morneau, they had full lines for all but about 10-15 mins and the prospect lines, due to Sano et al.

Did you request replacements, or did they just send you these?

Great replacements!

I asked them if I could choose a player to replace these autos that are never coming. They said to send them a list of names to pick from. I did. They ignored the list (no Harper, Stras, etc, on the list) and sent these.

I got a Gordan Beckham Sterling auto for my orange refractor auto of him -__-

They are so generous, right?

Shocking that they ignored your list......those seem on par with Mastroianni

Why's that shocking, George? They specifically asked me to send them a list of players from the new years of Bowman Chrome to choose from. I sent them a list of roughly 30-40 guys, any of whom I would have been happy with.

I guess some things are too tough for them to figure out.

Then send those two cards back with a letter stating the replacement is not acceptable based upon.......(insert comment). Honestly I think that you did quite well.

I find it sadly amusing that they asked me for a list of names, ignored the list, and sent these two. Why make me write out a list of "chrome prospect autos" if they aren't going to send any of them?

I see Topps like any other company. A customer buys a particular product and wants that product in the box, not a different product. Make sense? It does to me. Apparently they haven't figured it out yet.

Maybe they should have given you a price range to consider......or they hoped that you would do that prior to making a list.

I would be absolutely overjoyed at that replacement!

 

[vwnut13]

Here I was getting excited that the cards had finally been signed. :lol:

 

[yrocks2001]

Very good replacements, Mastroianni will not be in the big leagues in a couple years. You did very well
