Shorted 15 autos in a Topps Chrome case - now what?

the Topps troll

Well, I finally got a package from Topps today, and needless to say - I'm quite disappointed. 15 2013 Topps Chrome autos, all base. NO color, NO refractors, NO bigger names. I knew I was gonna get the absolute bare minimum out of this, but I'm still a bit upset. Here's what they sent me:

Base Chrome Autos
Darin Ruf #16
L.J. Hoes #154
Adeiny Hechavarria #116
Avisail Garcia #66
Casey Kelly #105
Jake Odorizzi #192
Didi Gregorius #65
Bruce Rondon #85
Melky Mesa #157
Alfredo Marte #189
Jedd Gyorko #178
Carlos Martinez #107
Tyler Skaggs #88
jeurys Familia #59
Allen Webster #112
Brandon Maurer #102

For those of you wondering why I was asking for a little bit more as compensation - they just sent me about $15 worth of autos. Had these been in my case when I cracked it (2 days after the product went live), I would have gotten a LOT more out of them. Not to mention the fact that at least one or two of these might have been refractors or even color refractors. I'd be lucky to grab $1 or $2 each for most of these at this point.

So what now? Do I just accept this bare minimum effort or do I keep pushing them?

^That does bite. You knew it was a lose lose. Sorry man, it really does suck. I would tell you to try and move on and keep moving - only because you probably won't get anywhere with Topps and it'll eat your alive reliving this nightmare.

Although I think it's all hearsay whether you'd of got anything better in your case or color or refractors, etc. - I do agree with you around timing hurting you and working against you when it comes to value, etc. For that, I wish Topps would of sent you SOMETHING to make you smile.

Sorry for the tough luck it stinks that topps seems to never make things right. But anyway l may be interested in the Gregorius auto. And l would stash away the Skaggs he will have a breakout year in 2014 or 15 just like Corbin did this year.

That really blows man.

The absolute only play here was for you to ship EVERY card back from the break. I would have shipped them all back in the wrappers in the boxes and in the original case with a letter explaining the situation.

It's not acceptable for the Indiana Lottery to simply send me 12-$1 winning tickets when I scratched off 12 tickets and there was a print defect that left no ink under the scratch pad. I would expect 12 new tickets and a chance at a larger prize.

 

[jcmint]

Write them a letter stating these replacements are not acceptable. See what happens.

And here we go. You got 15 autographs, now what do you want? You would have more than likely pulled them from your case anyway. Deal with it and move on you got as advertised. Does it stink sure but now you got as promised, no color is guaranteed and as a matter of fact you said you pulled a blue auto no? Theres some color.

I 100% agree with this... but he knew this was an option and opt'ed not to do it... therefore, he is left with what we ALL knew Topps would do - send him 15 crappy base autos or whatever.

And when you scatch them off and get 12 losers should you now get 12 more? No. They gave you as advertised.

First of all i would of been happy beacuse im a collector for collecting not selling. If your in this for $$$$$ then you should know it isnt there.
If you dont want it I will take that Ruf off of you..

Not to mention the fact that at least one or two of these might have been refractors or even color refractors

you were right when you said "might" did you get any other color autos? if so them most likly you would of got these cards. Also seems like they tok good care of you really fast too.

I don't think you understood what I'm saying.

If they sent me 12 scratched tickets that were $1 winners to replace my 12 defective tickets I wouldn't accept them.

Wait... you're saying if they sent you 12 unscratched tickets as a replacement and when you scratched them off, every one of them was a winner - you wouldn't accept them?!

I never win scratch offs, let alone 12 in a row lol... Now I am confused.

C'mon folks

No they sent me 12 scratched winners all $1. Seems stupid right? Why would a company that only sells unscratched lottery tickets on the market send me already scratched winners. Still sounds ridiculous right?


It would be just like Topps sending 12 autographs that are not in packs (unscratched tickets). Why would a company that doesn't sell single cards, send single cards?

man you got gypped! Not a single redemption in the bunch. You'd think that for 15 autos shorted, at least 1-2 should have been redemptions that they would turn into Don Sutton or Dwight Gooden custom redemption replacement cards after a 2 year wait.

 

[BBCgalaxee]

You got got.

They owe you two refs and a blue, plain and simple, that's what the odds state.

Haha I would of died if they sent him a redemption haha - that would of been epic

...then they don't make it after 2 years and send a crappy replacement. Then OPer is reliving this shorted case again two years from now.
