Le'veon Bell Redemption Question

[Pringle10]

So I have had a Bell 2013 Contenders Redemption in since the beginning of February and was able to talk with Panini today and was told they don't have the card. 3 options wait, take points, or take a replacement. Any luck ever getting the card you want actually filled or am I just out of luck or anyone else know who I can talk to at the company. Any help appreciated.

[Seahawks fan]

Would be nice to know since there are a bunch of people me included who bought cases of this stuff on BF. Both BO and DAcardworld had it at $350 a case. Bell is the only rookie in the set worth anything and falls almost 1 per case.

[jasonm2121]

his RCs seem underpriced

I honestly don't think you guys are going to be happy to hear this, but you might not be getting these cards.

The only reason I say this is I know they've been giving out Le'Veon Bell Contenders cards as redemption replacements. Back in the spring, they gave me one of his Playoff ticket autographs /99 from the set as a replacement for an Odell Beckham autograph from 2014 Select. Mine was numbered 81/99, so who knows how many they have left on them.

I hope I am wrong about this, but they might have been given out to everyone just like how the 2015 Contenders Jameis Winston cards have all been given away even though people are still trying to redeem them to this day.

I can second this. I got the same card as a replacement a few months ago.

[tribetown]

I would request a replacement, or take points if that's your thing. I don't think you'll be getting the card.

[Pringle10]

Can you request specific players and cards? Or how does it work I have never had to do this before?

[Pringle10]

So I should stay away from any of these for sale?

I'd ask Panini.. they may only be out of the regular Bell and still have some of the variations I mean heck they made an endless amount of Bells, then variation Bells, then 99 playoff, 99 variation playoffs, 21 cracked ice, 21 variation cracked ice, etc

Sucks they don't have the card but they have been stellar in giving replacements. If I pull one I will look forward to trading it in for some nice Hawks like I've done in the past.

Get it replaced, every replacement I have ever got from them has been better then what I had originally sent in as redemption. They just got Zeke to sign his redemptions from Contenders, so I would ask if you could get one of those instead. At that point sell it and buy a Bell or just keep the Zeke. They ask for players or teams you would like instead but I would start asking for Zeke and see what they say. I bet you get it

I'll call in the morning and ask, you think they would substitute zeke already even though his redemptions are still active?

[Sushiyoshi]

How many points are they offering for the Bell?

[Pringle10]

How many points are they offering for the Bell?

Not sure I need to call back in a minute, what would be a fair amount?

[Earlsnake07]

Please post the # and name of the person that you speak with.

[Pringle10]

They said I would only get 400 points and that the book value for the Bell is only $60, so since I redemmed it when it was past the expiration date I would only then get half of that value so $30 card. I asked for a Zeke replacement and was told "well his cards are worth more", but she would not give me a dollar value of his card to be able to compare it to. So yeah well just have to wait and see I guess.

[Earlsnake07]

Someone please screenshot a Beckett with the value of the Bell.....no way in hell the "book value" is $60

[littlecy56]

I was given a Bell rookie ticket variation auto as a replacement in February. Hope this helps.

[Pringle10]

I asked for a Zeke as a replacement and was told I dont know when they will be available. Called back a second time to a different department and got the same lady (who would not give me her name) and told that Zekes are not available yet. Asked to be transferred and all you can do is leave a message and never hear back. At this rate I may as well just wait till Zekes become available.

OH and to top it off she told me they are COMPLETELY out of all Bell Contenders, not sure if that's true or not or if they are just fed up with me.

[marvelfan2019]

I broke a case of 2013 Contenders a few months ago and bought another one over Black Friday that I plan on opening on Christmas.

I did get a Leveon Bell Variation Auto Redemption from the case I opened a few months ago. There are no redemptions listed on eBay. Not sure if I'm better off trying to sell there or if I should give redeeming a shot and see what they say to me lol.

I used to have a really good relationship with David Sharp :( man do I miss him. CS isn't the same imo.

[Pringle10]

My next question is I have never asked for a replacement, and they say the go in order down the list. So my question is do they go from date you originally had the redemption submitted for the original card or if I ask for a new card will I then be back of the line starting over again?

[Miguels]

I’ve had that same LeVeon Bell in the System for a year now. No movement or action.

If nothing happens by the time National comes around I’ll be there in person to replace that and a ton of other similar redemptions in person to get solid value right infront of Paninis face lol

I love when no one will return a phone call or answer a phone when I call.
I wish I could go to the national show also to get a redemption filled but to far away.

[T4brilla]

remrich@paniniamerica.net

This is who I dealt with 2 weeks ago with replacing my redemptions and I was very satisfied

[Pringle10]

I finally get an email bac from malsibar@paniniamerica.net at Panini about my Bell Redemption and a 2016 Triple Sigs Cardinals Auto Carson Palmer, David Johnson, Michael Floyd. And told we may be out of all the Bell Contenders and are still waiting for the the other cards to get sent back to us. Why are you so vague when answering Panini you either have some Bells left or not.

And they have responded now stating that they are completely out of his card.

[Pringle10]

I have never had to do a replacement request can you request. They say just give us names of players and teams you like. We'll can you ask for a specific player and card type or will that never get filled like that?

I sent them an email with site id and open redemption #s and told them to replace them with Seahawks and that the only card I wanted a fair trade value was for a Julio Jones Limited patch auto. They never replied but 2 weeks later in my mail box I was pleasantly pleased. 2 nice Hawks autos and an OBJ rc auto that sold for $125 on the bay which was much better than Julio. BTW I did pull the Leveon Variation Auto out of my contenders case so I will probably be in the same boat.

When exactly did they send you one the Bells as a replacement I had gotten an email in March saying they were not in yet. I would like to compare the dates and ask them.

[grifdogg55]

The /99 I got as a replacement shipped on February 1, 2017.

[Pringle10]

I just looked and mine was entered on February 2!

Ouch, that would really be a bummer if you missed it by one day!

[Earlsnake07]

I called today and was told I needed to wait the 4 months before I could even request a replacement.....

I asked her if the card was even available and the lady said no...

So I asked (as nicely as I could)..."so, you don't have the card, but I still need to wait 4 months to have it replaced????"

The only response I got was "yep......"


:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

[marvelfan2019]

I contacted someone at Panini via email and they are definitely out of Leveon Bell Base and Base Variation Autos :(

Kind of stinks for all of us who opened Contenders cases recently. Hoping I hear back about replacing it today.

Hahaha, now that’s pretty funny. Always ask for their names. We need to make a list of the good ones. I want to talk to this same lady about the rest of mine :)

:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:It's kind of ridiculous, on the Panini CS Twitter that's pretty much the norm now, must wait 4 months for replacements. I have a Stednan Bailey Draft Ticket redemption that was never signed and doubt it ever will by now, still gotta wait. Also pulled a redemption from Panini Americana for an actress who never signed, still have to wait 4 months.

Well I was just told the same thing. You have to wait 4 months to have the card replaced even though the card is no longer available :eek:

I guess I will just scratch the code and enter it and see what I can get in 4 months. Definitely disappointing.

[Pringle10]

I have emailed a remrich@paniniamerica.net told him the one card I wanted it replaced with haven't heard back now in 2 days. He seems to be the only who will respond to emails that I have sent.

When I gave Panini my list of names I would like as a replacement, they never responded to me. I gave them players I would be interested in, and in a couple of days, I received an email saying that my cards were shipped. I had to wait another day until the Panini website updated and told me what cards I would be receiving.

I traded an Odell Beckham Jr Select autograph /50 and three low value cards in for the Le'Veon Bell Contenders Playoff Variation auto /99 and a David Johnson patch auto from 2016 Impeccable /99. They will most likely take care of you in the trade, but it's a toss up on what cards you will receive until they're already being sent.

Was the Odell Redemption you traded in still active when you redeemed it?

Like I mentioned earlier, I have been emailing back and forth with Cody Crim. He's a really nice guy based on my past interactions with him.

He told me you have to enter the code in the system and wait 4 months before they even consider replacing it, regardless if it's expired or not.

Also, he told me that Leveon only returned about half of the autos that were sent to him. They are hoping he returns the other half, but it doesn't seem likely since it's been years now.

What is the email for this Cody Crim if you don’t mind?
And I don’t mind waiting the 4 months both of the ones I have open have been open over and almost 11 months already.

[Pringle10]

I guess my redemption was for the Bell Rookie Ink, with a value of on $30 now, and was told that he never returned any of the Rookie Ink. But I have no way to really look up a Bell Rookie Ink value to verify if the Value they are giving me for my redemption's are fair. What is the best way to find these values you would say?
"as we’ve never had or sent out his Rookie Ink. "

[Pringle10]

Mad props to Cody Crim on his help with this Bell Redemption! He helped me out, after reading from another post that they got a Bell Contenders Auto /99 as a replacement this week. So I thought that was weird so I contacted him and was told all they have left of the Bell 2013 Contenders are the Playoff Ticket out of /99. Which is funny since this whole time you have been telling us you are completely out. I had another Redemption in for a Triple Auto from the Cardinals but am a Steelers fan so they let me bundle them up to get the nicer Bell. They give the 2013 Bell Contenders they have left a value of $120 if that helps anyone.
