Topps redemption wording question

[AzTTm]

I know, everyone sees Topps redemption and thinks....here we go again right? Well maybe someone can shed some light on this wording for me

it shows this under each player

My question is this though, if you have the player on hand why wouldnt you have him sign the cards on card, not stickers? Am I odd to expect this and hope they would say "oh nevermind lets just have you sign the card"

Doesnt make sense to me, but then again it's Topps so I dont expect it to

Well, I have a few answers. First, the stickers could be for future products when the player won't be available to sign on card. Second, it could be for multi player autos where the other autos are stickers and perhaps they thought it would look weird for a card to have some autos on card and others on stickers.

Last, and perhaps scariest, is maybe they haven't bothered making the card yet so they're having him sign stickers so they can put it on the card when they get around to printing it.

You are assuming that the card in question has even been made.

I'd guess they just mail the stickers pretty often or a while back and he finally sent them back. I think the whole topps rep being present deal isn't always adhered to.

Yes, I'd say Jairo Beras would attest to the fact that a Topps rep isn't always present.
