Where the Frick are my Blue Wave Packs?

[WallyatJCCards]

Good ole Gold Rush...

Is Topps going to send out the blue wave packs within the next 30 days?

[dilandboogscard]

Waiting on other Individual Autographs to be filled before blue waves are being sent... Blue Waves are ready though... just need the redemptions autographed to be fullfilled...

after this long wait - ant bets on whether or not they are sent in a separate package anyways?

[drew306]

I would love to call topps and find out, but their outrageous hours give me almost zero time to do so. Literally probably a 15 minute window every weekday when I could possibly call them. Starting to piss me off, I'm waiting on 11 redemptions from topps, 7 from chrome.

[Heroicdeck]

No one ever picks up for me ever. It's driving me crazy

[dilandboogscard]

Yep welcome to my life, I have over 20 with topps 13 chrome (all kirkpatrick variations to black, still looking for gold, red and super), and I asked them a million questions when I am on the phone just to get as much info as i can, hence asked about the blue wave, and as indicated to me a couple of weeks ago, they have the blue waves ready, supposed to be sent with the redemption card and they are waiting for more redemptions to be fullfilled, I wonder how many people will sub and lose the packs that come with the redemption!

[DaBears 1985]

Good ole Gold Rush...



haha gold rush Alaska?

[wingah]

haha gold rush Alaska?

Love that show!

[DaBears 1985]

probably 15% of the words todd says are "frick"

[WallyatJCCards]

haha gold rush Alaska?

yup, favorite show on TV

I have tweeted Topps, Facebook, email, voicemail and spoke with someone about the packs. I bought a bunch of LaMichael James refractors I bought befire prices went up.

Would like to have them before mini camps start, haha

[WallyatJCCards]

if everyone who can, contacts them in public forums, it puts it at the top of the list to get done, regardless pf what others may say....

[Superman24742]

Or we could just wait til they get shipped, season already over so no big deal. I am sure they will eventually arrive so I don't know what the huge ordeal with waiting for them is. Heck most of the time I enter a redemption I forget about them, then when they show up in the mail its an awesome surprise just like pulling a hit.

I would agree with you if I had one Brian Quick autograph and Blue Wave Pack I was waiting on - I opened a lot of Chrome, bought a lot of singles - so I have probably 15 LaMichael James Autograph REF or better sitting with Topps - at $50 a card, that's a conservative $750.

$750 in Lamichael James
$200 in other players
Around 30 Blue Wave Packs x $10 each $300

Call it a Grand, completely out of my control

THAT is the big deal - $1,000 is a boatload of money to me.

[benshobbies]

Still waiting on my Dwayne Allen Blue Wave Redemption. Will be a happy mail day when I get it. Probably busting it on video when I get it. See no point in selling the pack as a whole sealed pack. I'd be aching to see what was inside of it for the rest of my life.

That is why I have selling sealed product.

[chutneyfactory]

I have three different Dwayne Allens from Chrome. Not only do I want these to get signed for the PC, Im hoping for a decent hit from my blue waves.

[Jnb0123]

The Blue Wave packs are not ready according to Topps on twitter. They suck

[drew306]

How stupid are they? They announced this program 3 and a half months ago and they still don't have them ready. What kind of company are they running?

[AKHMERICA]

I'm sure the reason they're taking so long is because they don't want redemption in their Blue Wave packs lol

[anusinha]

They have the Alfred Morris stickers, they were in sterling. What are they waiting for?

[MCease7]

You think topps sucks, Panini is at least a 8 month wait on redemtions. I have over 40 redemtions with them and still no word. One of the redemtions is the 2011 totally certified Cam Newton HRX video card auto /10. That has been a year in a month.

DONT PUT OUT A PRODUCT IF YOU DONT HAVE THE PRODUCT.
Redemtions are IOU's and the card company makes money on top of money and think we will give our money to them for a IOU. BUMS

[WallyatJCCards]

http://www.mercypost.com/media/created/a0qyai.jpg

hahaha, that is awesome. With Topps and all their "Gold Rush" programs, you would think printing an already existing set (aside from 10 cards) and adding some blue would be pretty easy.

Still, the question remains - Where the Frick are my blue waves?

Thats alot lol I have around 30 too and 4 of them are Russell Wilsons and one of them is a black one and I'm insanely pissed that they will be sticker autos wtf:mad:

I completely agree with you on this!

I just got back into the hobby this past football season, and after all the boxes I busted, I have come to the conclusion that:

A. Panini seems to be far worse than Topps with the IOUs, er, redemptions
B. Quality control and customer service are not their strong suits (loved busting a hobby box of Strata and not getting a Clear Cut auto hit :mad:, which I am still waiting to receive from Topps after paying for their product over 2 months ago)
C. I think I am done with wax until they stop being so greedy and start focusing on the customer experience. I would gladly take a few less products each season if it meant little to no redemptions or claims that were actually upheld (Contenders: 2 on card autos per box).

Honestly, does a car company sell you a car with a redemption for side view mirrors because they did not have them at the time? Would a smartphone company make you wait 3-4 months for a battery because they for got to include it in the package you already paid for?

Whatever happened to getting what you paid for? I know that they cannot always get everyone's autograph, or need to track down jerseys, but this is all becoming a bit excessive.


Sorry about the rant. I am waiting on 11 blue wave packs. I already received 2 redemption cards from Topps, which did not come with them, so I am assuming I will get shafted and only receive 9 packs.

Good times!

[drew306]

Called them today because I have the day off (otherwise their hours completely restrict my ability to call them). They said I'd have my replacement for a Bernard Pierce Inception base auto in 4-5 weeks (didn't ask me what I wanted, so I guess it will be like opening a pack w/ a guaranteed hit). I also asked them about the blue waves and they said that they were getting the packs in (as in they don't have them yet:rolleyes:) and that they will go out with the autos as those come in. So who the hell knows when we'll get them. I have to imagine at least a few of the guys who are redemptions have signed as its been almost 4 months.

[WallyatJCCards]

Sweet Jesus, if I don't get my packs pretty soon, I am gonna ask for a replacement...

Maybe they can send me a case of Chrome Football, so I can send in another 12 redemptions.

Can't believe how long this is dragging on

[TheFrenzy]

Just got off the phone with Topps (seriously, call as soon as they open. I've never gotten through in half a dozen tries, but today they immdiately answered).

The guy I spoke with actually said that the BW packs should be in within the next week from the press in Pennsylvania and would begin shipping out. He actually said the BW packs would be sent out ahead of replacement autos (which I opted for, it was just kirkpatrick), maybe in two weeks or less I'll find a nice surprise in the mail!

[peeweeherman]

I got 15 coming,hope to get a couple chuck cards to sell.Its gonna be a rat race to sell them fast.

Did you get an option of the player on the replacement auto? I have two of Kirkpatrick and one of Kalil that I just got a late notify on today.

[TheFrenzy]

All I got was the "we'll work with Beckett to replace it with a card of equal value."

Mine was a refractor auto, so hopefully I get something decent. I don't have high hopes for Mr. Kirkpatrick becoming a hobby force, so any chance to get a Cowboy or skill player is welcomed by me.

[garpike]

They are prob still waiting on Stephen Hill. :rolleyes:

:)!

Cool, thanks for the reply. I also called them about a damaged Andrew Luck Magic Auto I pulled and talked to a kid that sounded 15. Wasn't a real reassuring CS experience.

[Srt42004n]

I am waiting for 19 Redemptions... 10+ Dwayne Allens...got my late notification for all 10 wonder how this will go... prob get some scrubs... what a waste of $. I notified them regarding my Presidents day order and what they are going to do about shorting me... 10 Rack packs instead of 10 blasters...

[sals_cardz]

well im still waiting on my russell wilson this is gettin annoying. i cant get through to them you guys on the east coast are lucky i just tried calling 3 times now in the last 10 minutes, and no answer. ive emailed them no i dont want a replacement bum from you guys. unless your replacing it with a better russell wilson i dont think so.

Can you add this pic to their facebook and Twitter page? That would be good stuff!

[drew306]

Kind of a side note:
Topps confirmed on twitter a few days ago that every single redemption gets a blue wave pack, not just the guys listed in that one message. I don't have any of these but should be good news for some people.

@JeremyJensonMN all Topps chrome FB auto redemptions when shipped will include blue wave pack

hopefully the wait is worth it

It would be super to get the Russell Wilson Refractor Auto that they showed was signed on their twitter...

[JusRelax]

I had an Alshon Jeffery sticker auto that already shipped to me like a month ago... will I get a blue wave auto pack for that one too?

[beaver1080]

in a way i think it's bs that now all redemptions will get a blue wave pack. it'll lessen the odds of hitting a morris for those that bought up a bunch of redemptions just for the blue wave packs

[JonMead]

it has always been this. they released from day one blue waves are one per redemption.

[beaver1080]

it has always been this. they released from day one blue waves are one per redemption.

no it was only for certain players, the list below is for the blue wave packs.

Players with redemptions are Russell Wilson, Dwayne Allen, LaMichael James, Bernard Pierce, Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick, Stephen Hill, Brian Quick and Matt Kalil.


couple posts above received an alshon jeffery redemption.

I don't think the person that replied to that question actually read it. Or even knew that some cards weren't included .

[pierrethomasfan]

wrong thread....

[WallyatJCCards]

Finally decided to file a claim with the BBB - I hope everyone who is waiting on these does the same, along with Twitter, Facebook, hand written letters, faxes, hell - if I lived close enough I would drive there and beat on the door until I get my frickin blue wave packs and the ohhhh 15 autographs that will come with them!

Yay file a complaint on a free item.

Makes sense.

[ernieren]

You can go ahead and file a claim on your redemptions . But the blue waves are freebies. Only thing they have done wrong the blue wave side is send out 2 packs to one guy nearly 3 weeks ago. But it does seem like the big issue is the players not signing. Can blame it all on Topps a lot fall on the over paid players.

What u can blame them for is lieing!! 2-3 weeks ago they said that a bunch of players had signed and would ship soon. Now they are telling people that Wilson still has a bunch to sign.

Are you retarded? Please let me know where you can find free cards and I will show up with a truck to pick them up...
