Topps Redemption Replacement
 

Which would you rather have? Such a hard choice!

2024 Finest Baseball Finest Moments Red Lava Refractor Auto - Albert Pujols /5

or

2024 Finest Baseball Finest Moments Black Refractor Auto - Ichiro /10

probably the Pujols because it would be a color match, but both are great cards and I wouldn't be mad with either one

I would go with ichiro

IMO - Depends a little on what uniform each is wearing

Albert is wearing Cardinals, Ichrio has on a Mariners jersey.

Kind of leaning towards Ichiro I think.

Topps Redemption Replacement
 

I would say Albert had the better overall career

Edit: Out of curiosity, what is the card replacing? What were you supposed to get?

Pujols is color match, lower numbered, and it feels like he signs less...

Both are great though

I was supposed to get a Topps Chrome Jacob Fatu WWE card. So much happier with either of these cards.

I love Black Refractors....plus I live in Seattle.....so the Ichiro for me....

Anyone have much luck convincing topps your missing redemption has a higher value than what they value it at.

Pujols all day long.

Yeah! Right on! [emoji41]. Win win regardless of who you choose, but Albert is your better player career wise

It's close, but I'd vote for Pujols as well. The color match is a nice bonus.

Coming from an Ichiro fan, I'd probably choose the Pujols.
I believe Pujols have less auto in the market compared to Ichiro (Ichiro signs a lot even after retirement), and as others have said, the color match is nice.

I was also surprised to know how high the valuation for Jacob Fatu auto is...

Either way you are WINNING! I would go with the Ichiro myself. Black refractors look amazing and the Japanese collectors could drive that price to the moon if you decided to sell.

I’d go poo poo holes.

Pujols would be a good choice.

Ichiro

I decided to go with Ichiro. The Pujols moment is from an NLCS, Ichiro is when he broke the single season hit record.

I also think the black looks nicer than the red. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250703/4b833ae2f62c905e0ba42afb36b53afe.jpg[/IMG]

How long did the process take from when you submitted to getting the card?

I put in the Jacob Fatu redemption into the Topps system in February.

Got tired of waiting (never really wanted the Fatu) and asked for a replacement on June 20th.

Heard back about my options on Tuesday and got the Ichiro 2 days later!

Dang! 6 months of waiting! I wouldn’t want to wait that long as well

Definitely Ichiro for me, but it’s really a matter of personal player preference. Congrats on the beautiful card!
