BIG PULL!!! Now what do I do with it?

I opened a hobby box of 2011 Bowman Platinum today and got this:



Obviously, prices aren't what they were 3 months ago on Harper's stuff but here is my question:

Should I sell the redemption or redeem it and sell the card?

Is there a chance of getting a limited color refractor that would sell for more or would it have said that on the redemption?

I really have no interest in keeping the card. I was actually hoping for an auto Freddie Freeman as I really like the way he plays. Thanks guys, this is my first redeption card out of all the modern stuff I've bought.

First, congrats on the nice pull.

If the refractor would have been a rarer colored one, it would state the color on the redemption.

I pulled this one, and I sold mine on eBay. For reasons I can only speculate about, it seems like the redemptions (at least at the time) were selling for $10-20 more than the already signed in-hand cards. Perhaps confusion with the product... since all are technically "refractors", it's possible some customers think since the redemption says "REFRACTOR" it might be something more special (although it's not). It's the same card you get signed out of packs... it's just that Topps sold more Bowman Platinum product than they had Harper sign up front and had to put in redemptions to make up the difference.

That's exactly the info I needed. Thanks very much. I'll probably just throw it up there with a resonable BIN and make a quick buck.

It looks like the redemption cards are selling for $120-$150 on ebay.

Consign with Probstein. Big diff in 1K and $150.

I just sent Rick a Platinum base Harper Auto which is selling around $150 to $175. This is a refractor and will go for much more.

Congrats!!

Hmm... So it could go between $150 and $1000? That's a big range. Good thing ebay lowered my sales limit to $500 a month for no reason!

Maybe I should let Rick P handle this...
