Factory Damaged 2017 Mahomes from Blowout Optic Mega Box - Will Panini Replace?

JRuck504 · 02-07-2020, 11:33 AM

Long story short, I bought 4 megas last weekend when Blowout had them for $54.99. Pulled the below Mahomes Red and Yellow and it is damaged. Looks like a bubble under the top layer of film on the card. No surface indention at all.

Should I send this to Panini along with the whole mega box and receipt or just cut a piece of the mega box with scissors and send with the card and receipt?

No. Keep it and be happy you pulled a Mahomes. Congrats on the pull!

Thanks bud, I'm ecstatic but why wouldn't I send it in to be replaced?

As far as I know they will only replace product within one year from release. Nice pull!!!

Thanks man, unfortunate if they cannot replace it

Not every card is going to be in perfect condition. If they were the good ones wouldn't be worth anymore. Be happy with the pull and move on IMO.

Nice card.

This is correct, nice pull though!

I don't understand this send in everything for replacement trend, not all the cards will be perfect

I am not part of this "sending in everything trend" that you speak of. I'm asking for advice on sending in a very valuable card that was pulled with factory damage. A system was set up from Panini for this reason and I was asking for advice on said system. Thanks for the input though.

I believe they just the lid where it has the numbers stamped on it.

Just a guess, but I'd say there's a 2% chance that gets Panini's attention and probably a higher chance it gets lost in the mail or doesn't make it back to you.

Sweet pull, but I feel fairly confident that doesn't meet the threshold for Panini to issue a replacement.
