Will Topps replace a badly off-centered redemption I received from them?

[JEBJJA]

I called them today after I received an Aaron Nola Bowman Chrome Auto redemption yesterday. It was 70/30 bottom to top. They told me to take a picture and send it to [email protected] do you guys think or have you had any redemptions replaced? Thanks...

Gem Mint cards sell a a premium for a reason. The majority of cards should not be gems.

Unfortunately for you, I think Topps sent exactly what they were supposed to send. Sucks that it's off center but those are the breaks.

Could you post a pick to demonstrate how bad it looks?

I pulled a sticker auto from topps once that was put on so bad id say it was about a 1/2 inch crooked. I sent it back and they replaced it and telling me to not send anything ever again because this was not a defect. Someone pu that on there so wrong so to me that is a defect.
i say try and send it back. Cant hurt to try

With all due respect I would have to disagree with this. I do not think there is much excuse for Topps to put out some cards as badly off centered and damaged as they do. Especially with more modern technology to make cards. Not to mention that some of the products they have are not all that cheap either. Admittedly it is not as bad as it use to be, but there is still some room for improvement. Should every card grade a Gem Mint 10 maybe not. They should at least be mint in my opinion.

yeah. Just be prepared that they might send 4 topps flagship packs in return (i.e. something that is not what you sent in for replacement). It has been since the early 1990's that any card company has replaced factory damaged cards for me so I don't even bother to send in factory damaged cards.

I'd say you're lucky you got your redeemed card in the first place and not a replacement (or lucky you aren't waiting for over a year like me for a redemption).

I'd give it a shot. Hard to beleive that Topps still makes O/C cards after all these years.

I'd stick with it 'cuz I don't think OC is gonna get you another Nola auto.

And you might wanna check out @Casebusters thread about his defective replacements before you decide...
