I was going to ask the seller if he had any of these cards but instead it was a guy named Wilmer Flores.

15 months later...if not more...
I bet Largo is on the phone with Topps right now...finders, keepers...or sellers, for the right price.

Insane. Even if this is the player's fault, it gives Topps another black eye.
And in Topps' mind, is yet another reason to go sticker autos.

Those lots are just insane!! I can only imagine if this was one of the top tier prospects in the set, what these would potentially sell for. I would love to corner the market on a Bowman Chrome autograph rookie. Too bad Tosoni isn't much of a prospect. Hmmm. I guess I will keep an eye on the auctions and see what happens. Topps better find an employee with an ebay account and have them win those are they are going to be in trouble with those redemptions.

Phil Hughes said UD gave him a postage-paid return box for his portion. Likewise, I bet Topps doesn't leave it up to the players/their people to return the cards. It'd only amount to delays.
If Topps can't get these back it'll be a big story for a small card and people waiting on redemptions will get replacements.

I thought Topps still had a person present at all autograph signings? That would take the mail out of the equation.

Didn't a board member have the Bascom Super and reds as well?

Yes, but I was hoping the board member would pipe up that they had them. I was trying to find out who had them.

If these were indeed all lost in the mail and picked up by this company, then I have one question: what happened to the few that would complete the run? Do players sign some early (just a few) at the contract signing and/or do they get to keep some?
What happened to the 5% that aren't in the lots?

Are people claiming that it is okay to be buying and selling stolen freight?
I have a story about this. At my formercompany we had a client that would clean and servie the massive sorting machines. Obviously mail would get stuck, etc.
Well, the dude decided to just keep all the extra mail that was stuck. We are talking 100' of pieces per week.
Do you know how he got caught? Selling a tom brady rookie card that was serial #d to 25. The person who was to receive this card spotted it, reported it to ebay and the cops.
The dude was busted and has $400k worth of merchandise in his house. He was sentenced to 8 years in jail and is thought to have stashed over $1 million in cayman island bank accounts...
I would think there is something that topps and the postal service can do here...

Skrip - there is a legitimate business buying and selling lost, misrouted and unclaimed freight. Things that get lost or damaged in transit and can't be traced back to the original sender or reciever get sent to what's known as the "overgoods" warehouse. After some period of time if these packages remain unclaimed, they get sold off, typically with the contents sight-unseen, to companies like Cargo Largo. In the mean time the sender usually files a claim for reimbursement from the freight company and replaces the merchandise for the buyer.
This is a little different situation in that the items are less of a commodity and as such are not quite as easily replaceable, which is why I assume Topps will take a significant interest in getting their hands back on these cards, even if they had been previously compensated via a claim for them as lost merchandise. In this case I'm thinking they may have fallen off the truck literally vs. figuratively.
