200% Redemption Replacement

I took advantage of this for the first time and feel like I’ve been significantly under compensated.

My substitution: 2x 2023 Ginter De Niro Black Frames Autos /25.
- Only remotely similar comp is a Red Ink sale of $2,500 in October 2025.

What I’m receiving (Topps already shipped the cards and they didn’t contact me - I can see them when I login and check my redemptions):
2013 Ginter Pele Auto (currently one available for $1,300 OBO on eBay)
2013 Ginter AXL Rose Auto (last sold was $1,800 in PSA 9 in October 2025)

Am I overreacting by going back to Topps and saying this doesn’t live up to the 200% replacement policy?

I feel the De Niro’s are worth $1,500 CONSERVATIVELY each given the comp. So each one should be at least $3k in 200%. So a total of $6k (again, conservatively).

But I’m receiving a total of $3k in substitutions IMO.

Look, I’m not looking to milk every penny. But it’s their policy and I don’t feel like they’re holding up to that.

What are your thoughts? Am I right to push back on this? And has anyone had any experience with this policy?

Relentlessly push them about this. Unacceptable. Typical Fanatics buffoonery.
