Someone Explain Topps Redemptions

[rsmath]

One redemption is a Museum Ryne Sandberg jumbo relic. They can't be waiting for the jersey. Just cut the thing up and send already. Jeez

I'm sure if they had the jersey, they would cut it up and make the card.

The only thing that makes sense to me about relic redemptions is that Topps planned to make jersey relic cards (redemption packed out) and have not been able to acquire a jersey for whatever reason -- I really hope it's because they had a deal for a particular athlete's jersey but got it autenticated as not legit and are searching for a legit jersey.

Think again. Topps issued a live version of what my card should have contained (an entire jersey nameplate of Adam Dunn) in Allen & Ginter a couple months after I entered my redemption online. How is it ethical for Topps to put that material into a new product when they have already issued a redemption for virtually the same card in an older product?

Please be patient. Topps' highly trained staff of redemption specialists is working hard to fulfill your order.

I checked my acct again today and my Series 1 mini & Tribute gold have been marked as Shipped on Friday 4/11. Tuesday 4/15 and still at just 'info received'. So I have upgraded from my cards sitting in a box at Topps to my cards sitting in a bubble mailer at Topps. Progress!!

The moral of the story is good things happen to people that whine.

I have never had a redemption arrive in the time frame they state. Ever.

Got 2 of my cards today, even though the Fed-Ex # on the redeem.topps.com still only says 'info received'.

If anyone is interested, the '89 Topps Mini autographs are different than the inserts & relic inserts, at least with my RJ. He's in Expos for the auto rather than Mariners for the other cards.

If you're still waiting on Topps Redemptions, be sure to complain about it in this thread, it actually works!
