It doesn't matter who it's from.

12/8/2012 - Panini Signature Series - Paul O'Neill Game Ball Signatures /10

Followed closely by: 2013 Topps Five Star Quadrabook Autographs - Middlebrooks, Rice, Nomar and Pedroia. I don't believe that there is a way on Topps.com to see when you redeemed the card but I did so in 2013 shortly after release.

What's yours?

It would be an awesome card and I am waiting because I know they wouldn't replace it with a comparable card. The last time I called they said they were waiting on Groat to sign the card but he has been on many of their products.

What a BS excuse, Groat is one of the best signers still around. Hell, I got several TTM's back from him in less than a week

Ugh...so what do they do when one of the signers is no longer with us?

I guess theoretically he may have signed it already and they're waiting on Gibson or Groat?

I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but I thought the same thing.

Id be surprised if it was Stan cause he would sign anything. Towards the end it was everyday trying to get stuff done.

FYI Musial is the reason why great players shouldn't leave current teams for a few more million. Almost 70 years after retiring he was still making money signing autos. Granted he was one of the best ever, but point still remains.

I'm waiting on a Meadows and Frazier dual auto from 13 draft. The funny thing is that stoops made a dual auto of those two for 14 minor league Heritage.

Most frustrating because he signs all the time:

I called Topps between Christmas and New Years and when they opened my account, the worker said "O wow" and said he would have to get back to me. Haven't heard back.

And Topps has made about 12 logomans of Manny since. Such a shame. I'm sure they could get a Cal from somewhere.

2011 Contenders Julio Jones x 2. Finally requested replacements last spring and they asked me to give them a list of players. Gave them a few Packer names. They never sent anything. Couple of months ago I get the Julio Jones autos.:p Really glad they never followed thru on my request.:)!

The longest I waited was 2 1/2 years for a crappy card too, 2012 Strata Signatures Clear Cut Auto Relic Bernard Pierce rookie card. The only reason I didn't request a replacement was because I thought the cards looked cool.

2013 FIVE STAR BASEBALL 5-STAR DUAL SIGNATURE LOGO PATCH OF CAL RIPKEN JR./MANNY MACHADO

That product was horrific. I pulled the dual logoman Gwynn Ripken and Thomas Griffey and decided not to redeem because of delays w 2012 five star. They still have to make either yet. Offered the guy I sold the Gwynn Ripken $400 for it!

Another friend had the Ryan Gibson and just flat told him not making, which makes it unlikely they are making my dual patch which I did redeem and is now in year 4.

Most frustrating however is the dual auto Hank Aaron/Jackie Robinson. Now they have had probably had 10 cut autos of Robinson since then and darn near every product has an Aaron auto it seems.

It's like they decided they just will act like that product doesn't exist.

Exactly. 2013 Five Star is a joke. I have a Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr dual auto patch from this set outstanding since 2013 and they have not made it. Each of these players have been in DOZENS upon dozens of products. Their replacement offers are a joke as well. I totally understand when a player just doesn't sign, such as Mays who really cut back. But to produce cards of the players and not fulfill previous responsibilities is ridiculous. The amount of cards from 2013 Five Star that were never produced amounts to flat out fraud in my book.

Problem is, there's only like 2 seasons Cal was active that would have an MLB logo on the jersey or hat. Every other year, the American League was still the regulating body, so they had AL patches on them, not MLB.

Still, if you promise the card, have a plan. There's a Carlton/Gibson on that I have no idea how they expected to make since the MLB patch was never on a hat or jersey they wore.

see my prevous post. The Ryan/Gibson CAN'T be made! There are no game used logo patches b/c they were never on the jersey's, and they knew it before issuing the product!

I received an unexpected package from Topps a few days ago, and it was my Tittle/Montana dual auto! It's a beauty too! It was quite a wait, but hats off to Topps for following through in the end.

What the hell took that one so long? It's a signature from an avid signer that is in EVERY product

Waited abou 2 years for a Josh Bell 2012 Platinum Red auto /25

I wonder what happened at Topps in 2013...I waited on a 2013 Five Star Ripken card for several years that was produced, signed (confirmed on Topps blog!), and even appeared live on eBay before requesting a replacement. Topps gave me the usual runaround and wouldn't purchase the card from eBay. Break out the conspiracy theories, but I think most of the 2013 Five Star cards walked out the door. Something definitely went wrong and we'll never know.

I'm waiting on something from 2013 as well, a Triple Royals auto from Archives.

I actually decided to give up a couple of months ago, so I clicked the link to request a replacement. I've used it for several other redemptions, but the link returns an error too. I know I need to call them, but I'm not looking forward to that phone call.

Yes, it's a box topper. The old checklist referred to them as jumbos, so I had that stuck in my mind.

That was exactly my frustration, 2 years ago they said it was damaged and had to remake with no known date. I only held on because of their value and the fact that Trout is in every product. Their value was $250, which was a complete joke!!
