Topps Redemption Success

[ssbledsoe]

I had a few redemptions I was waiting on from Topps (list below). Knowing they were getting out of the NFL game, I requested replacements online (and emailed CS). I had very little hope I'd get anything interesting/useful/along the lines of what I'd want requested. WRONG! Topps actually came through SOLID, for me.

Redemptions Replaced:
2014 NFL Bowman Auto David Fales
2014 NFL Bowman Auto Jace Amaro
2014 NFL Bowman Auto Rajion Neal
2014 NFL Bowman Auto Brandon Coleman x 2
2014 NFL Bowman Auto Aaron Murray
2014 NFL Bowman Auto Jared Abbredaris

Replacements Received:
2015 Finest RAP Karlos Williams
2015 Finest RAP Mike Davis
2015 Finest RAP Justin Hardy
2015 Valor Tyler Lockett Speed 19/99 RAP
2015 Inception Melvin Gordon Auto 21/50
2015 Museum Duke Johnson Framed Auto 12/15

And now the really worthwhile stuff:
2013 5 Star AJ Green Auto Booklet 23/38
2015 Topps David Johnson 1987 Super Rookie Auto 245/250

So, I essentially turned a bunch of junk that isn't getting signed anyways into some really decent cards. As someone who has been critical of the Redemption scam, this was pleasantly surprising. That said, there isn't a chance I buy another Redemption anytime soon.

Good luck to others, and my advance apologies for the folks that end up getting boned on their subsequent replacements

Congrats thats a nice exchange but I will say this.....one could only assume that all the cards that "should" have been equal value replacements in the last few years will start to arrive in a lesser exchange due to the fact there is no more new crap to send and all the sandbagged cards are being dispersed. Expect to start seeing Manziel's and RG3's soon for a common exchange.

This infuriates me after the screw job they gave me for a 1/1 dual shield auto....

Nothing. As you might be able to tell from my posts here, I'm not exactly the most polite poster. I'm truly astonished I didn't end up with a half dozen Tajh Boyd cards...

This is why I requested redemptions when I did. It's going to get ugly soon and I didn't want to be left with cards of guys that never played a snap of NFL ball.

I don't doubt it. As stated above, I feel bad for guys that have and will get boned by this scam. I replaced a 5 Star Dual Shield Auto 1/1 of Aaron Dobson/Marquise Goodwina year or 2 back. I'm not sure I got as much value for that as I did for this junk.
