Perfect opportunity for a PR person to reach out the player and cut Topps out altogether. (I hope that is what happens anyway.)

Very unfortunate that something like this happens to a kid, but I wouldn't be so sure that this isn't just a case of Topps not updating the item to out of stock. I'm sure those things went like hot cakes at $175, especially when he hit that 6th homer

Interesting to see what really happened, but I suspect he will get a bat now and maybe even more than what he was expecting, esp if Murphy sees this.

Topps tweeted earlier today that the sale will go forward.

 

[JoshHamilton]

Thats low, even for Topps

 

[Pinbreaker]

Topps said it will honor the sale afterall..

Am I the only one that doesn't give a rats ass that they now want to honor the sale? True integrity is how you treat people when no one is looking, and Topps has proven time and again that they'd piss on each and every one of us if no one were ever looking.

One again this proved that Topps DOES NOT care about their customers!

Ran out of bats? Yeah sure they ran out of bats signed by DANIEL MURPHY???

I say that all the time. Integrity is doing what is right when noone is looking.

Shame on Topps

 

[RStadlerASU22]

If you trade the updated article another collector was/is giving WS a bat too. So you can see there is good out there too.

Maybe the bats were "lost" in all the Topps Vault things that went missing and canceled.

Oh and LOL at $175 for a Daniel Murphy bat. It should be that price post streak.

Amen Brother.

I still don't think I'd pay that much...

I had to reread the article to see if it was a game used bat.

Did it say?

And btw, good to see you around, feel like I haven't seen you in a while...hope all is well!

I'm just waiting for Donald Trump to take credit for Topps finally doing the right thing.

Kudos to that other collector wanting to help the kid out.

The boy will have his bat in 4-6 weeks, after & only after he closes his BBB case, per Topps SOP.
