Why complain if nothing was wrong with the card?

Topps knows how they are sending their cards, so unless something was wrong with the card, I wouldn't bother.

I saw that serial killer that they've been trying to catch recently. The guy likes to go around, snatch up kids and hang them from trees in front of elementary schools. But he didn't kill *my* kid, so why should I bother calling the police?

At least that's just like the situation with the cards ::facepalm::

Comparing how a company sends a card to you to MURDER is just plain laughable.

Good try though.

If the murderer can give you your brother back after he murdered him than no you shouldnt. I doubt highly calling to complain will do anything since thousands have called about quality control, missing autographs, faked patches and we all see how they have changed those :lol:

It's exactly the same. You see someone doing something that could hurt someone, and you keep your mouth shut because it didn't hurt *YOU*. This time.

Very simple analogy for a very simple concept. It's not rocket science.

Not really.

If someone knew that children were being murdered and they KNEW who was doing it, 99.9% of the time they would call the cops.

Based on the response on this topic, not everyone is worried about a card that can be replaced IF it does indeed get damaged.

As someone above said, if they could kill your child then give him back to you alive again, I wouldn't say a thing.


But, alas, the murderer couldn't, making it a different concept afterall.

So let me get this straight. If any of you received a redemption
card, and it WAS damaged, you'd all be upset, and you'd all call
Topps to get a replacement, right?

So, wouldn't it make sense for a few people to call and bring to
their attention the fact that their fulfillment center isn't packaging
cards very safely? Don't you think this might help to avoid future
issues with redemptions getting damaged?

Ya know, I think part of the problem as well, is the fact that this wasn't
a high-end card. This seems to be the M.O. of certain people in certain
threads, when it pertains to a card that is perceived as being low-end,
or not having a high monetary value.

Please, any of you, tell me that you would not be monumentally pissed
if you redeemed a Tiger Woods auto, or a Babe Ruth cut auto, and got it
sent to you moving around in an envelope half way out of a toploader with
no penny sleeve. And don't give me the, "if it's in good condition, I wouldn't
care" BS. None of you are going to convince me otherwise.

::facepalm::

Is it that difficult to comprehend a simple analogy?

Analogy-is both the cognitive process of transferring information from a particular subject (the analogue or source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process.

Analogy-resemblance in some particulars between things otherwise unlike.

Looks to me as though his "analogy" works properly for his argument.

Well, the fact is, you are none of us.

So you don't know how ANY of us would react.

I know if I got a card (doesn't matter if it is low end, mid end or high end...I treasure all my cards the same), if it had nothing wrong with it, I wouldn't care if they THREW it to me from across the country, as long as I got it in the condition expected.

Which he did.

Yet you feel perfectly OK with telling the OP how he should or shouldn't react? :mrgreen:

Here is my exact quote:

Topps knows how they are sending their cards, so unless something was wrong with the card, I wouldn't bother.

Notice I asked a question then mentioned what I would do.

Never did I tell him how HE should or should not react.

Like a dog chasing his tail.

I have my opinion, you have yours.

Never did I say what he SHOULD do, I said what I would do.

Reading comprehension much?

(And I got the analogy, but they are on completely different ends of the spectrum...seeing as one is illegal and the other just ignorant.)

No need to get your ******* in a tizzy fellas...card was sent out and made it in mint shape, maybe he would have an argument if the card was damaged.


Move along now..!

It sure seems like there has been a lot of stubborn attitudes on the boards lately. Point #1 is that the card was received safe and sound. Point #2 is that the card was not packaged well enough. #1 isn't up for debate as the OP is ok with the card. I'd like to think #2 isn't up for debate either, but I realize that different people have different standards for how a card should be shipped.

That might mean something if I ever claimed that you said what he should or shouldn't do. That's just a stupid argument on your part.

So complaining to Topps about their poor packaging is "ignorant"?

Boy, you're sure not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
