Need a little redemption advice/opinion...

NickEasy412 · 03-14-2018, 11:06 PM

So today after work i stopped in the LCS and ended up picking up a box of 15-16 OPC Platinum. There is one auto per box, normally, and today I got a redemption card, instead of an actual auto card. Its for a Patrick Roy 'Throphied Talents' rainbow diecut auto. The card books for $150-250. Just wanted some of your advice and or opinions on whether you think I should redeem it, wait 12-16 weeks to receive the card, and then sell it, or just sell the redemption outright at auction or whatnot? Thank you all in advance. -Nick

I’d redeem it. Personally I don’t mind the wait for a redemption and the 12-16 week thing isn’t always set in stone. Granted it could take forever like Tarasenko did but I redeemed a Teemu Selanne auto from Ice and got it within 2 weeks. It had the 12-16 week disclaimer on it too. Roy signs a lot so I’d be fairly comfortable that I’d eventually get the card.

If you're just planning to sell, I'd sell the redemption card itself. Let someone else deal with redeeming it
