Topps Auto. Redemptions

mikeschmidt

Acknowledging that I'm highly likely to be screwed....

What is the timeline for contacting Topps about an autograph redemption that has been "Pending" for over a year?

Any good strategies for escalation when they try and replace my redemption with a #/1000 Biff Pocoroba autographed insert?

I have seen people wait a couple years. Topps will sometimes send an email asking if you want a replacement. I have one pending for 9 months now. I JUST got my Willie Mays that was pending for nearly the same amount of time. I thought for sure I would never see that one.

Keep your fingers crossed. I hate when they send replacements.

I believe they value your card at current market price and offer you something in a similar price range. Best thing is to call them people! Good Luck!

I purchased the redemptions when the issue came out in Spring 2013.

So, it's almost been two years....it is a box topper autograph of a HOF'er, #/d to 10. Thus, value is hard to assign to a card like this

<sigh>

Yeah, Ive seen fantastic results and I have seen ridiculously bad results on Topps replacements. And there is no negotiating with them.

By the way, what set and what hofer?

I also have had to wait close to a year for willie mays both in 2013 and 2014 heritage...he is the slowest, probably due to him only signing once a year (i heard). But i did get my 2014 willie prior to this year (maybe in november??). Good luck.

What's weird is that Schmidt has done a huge # of signings with Topps throughout their 2014 issues. Also received some of the other redemptions I had from that set.

I'm fully prepared to be soured on this experience.
