2005 cracker jack pack

I ripped my first pack of 05 Topps Cracker Jack cards.

The good news: The mini was a blue background Jeter.

The bad news: There is a bit of paper loss on the front on th efront of this card.

Is this something worth getting in touch with Topps about. If I send the card will they send a replacement?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
David

    Here's an excerpt from a post I made in the heritage thread - just follow the one for one return concept:



    << <i>Topps Return:

    1. Address: Topps, 401 York Ave., Duryea, PA, 18642-2035 - 800-489-9149; for replacement also put ATTENTION: Consumer Relations.

    2. If you want to return "card for card" exchange - limit it to 25 cards - list the cards by number in order.

    3. You can also send the cards for "random" replacement - I recommend this for commons since you will most likely get SP's as part of the random replacement - I sent them in 100 per request - no complaints and from a total of 200 (approx) replacements got back about 45-50 SP's!

    don't worry about the condition they don't care - I ding them so that it is a no brainer!

    4. The last time I sent cards in, they did request that in the future, I submit them with a proof of purchase or UPC code tab from the box.

    5. I recommend that you give minimum insurance as a "record" of the submission in case there is a problem.

    The service last year was lightning fast and cards came to me in good shape. This is definitely worth the time!
    I have noticed two problems this year - some cards with a slight vertical indentation on the left side near the white border and some very faint print lines/scratch also vertical around the portraits - nothing as bad as last year but still interesting - there's no reason for any of this crap - this is the simplest of production cards compared to the UV coated, "Dufex", Chromed technology of other cards IMO.

    Any other questions, please LMK - I'm here for ya! >>

    David,

    Not a bad pull on the Jeter. I've yet to pull a blue, gray, or white background mini card yet. Topps will replace it for you, but you can save up 24 more cards to send back if you want. Here's a link to instructions on where how to send back cards:
