Which would you rather have?

[ASTROBURN]

This just popped in my head and I figured I'd ask.

Would you rather have a Topps Redemption that you have to redeem and wait months before disappointment arrives in your mailbox

or

Unlicensed inserts pulled from a pack and in your hands

??

EXTRA CREDIT: why?

That wasn't one of his options in the Hypothetical.

It obviously depends on the card, I'd much rather redeem and wait for a puig/trout/harper auto than get an insert /5000 of Jesus Montero.

If they had very similar resale value, I'd rather have the unlicensed insert.

Redemption.

Unlicensed products suck.

So basically, despite all the witch hunting that goes on here against topps, they just proved exactly why topps makes money and will continue to do so along with provide bad service.

Well damn if that's the case, screw my response, I'll take the Redemption and flip it.

Topps!

Topps..

You're question could have been a topps redemption 6 months out and they pull a hand full of your short and curlys or a non licensed card in hand!

I'd still take topps.

No one would even be able to tell if you were missing TWO hand-fulls.

Topps redemption

 

[metallicalex777]

I would rather take the Topps redemption and wait to see what is redeemed. I do like a lot of the unlicensed inserts and even some of the products (Prime Cuts and National Treasures never cease to amaze all around). If we are talking about the pack pull view, that is a tough one. I think I would still go with the Topps redemption, regardless of the bad service with those lately they do have more sway in sell/trade if you are trying to get rid of it to help out your own collection. Unlicensed inserts certainly look nice but are detracted without logos...for the price I would pay to open packs/boxes to hit some of those I would much rather purchase the singles for the ones I want for the same/less money if that makes any sense

It's because I keep a full volumeized bush!

You look like you're constantly failing to jump over Phil Spector's shoulders.

Neither, with a slight preference towards a 'bird in the hand'...
