Default Topps redemption sub gotfried

Oops missed a space in the title.

Ok so we hear all the horror stories so I figured I'd share some positivity.

Back in 2019 I pulled a Stephen Tarpley redemption out of a Stadium Club case. Typically I sell redemptions immediately so I don't have to deal with the headache, but this one wasn't even worth selling. After a year in pending status I requested a sub.

Fast forward 2 years to a few weeks ago. I emailed customer support telling them it's been 3 years, just send me something, anything. Got an email back next day asking what players/teams I'd like. Told the rep: Bryce Harper, Jose Altuve, Julio, Bobby Jr. or any Giants since my daughter loves them.

A few days later got FedEx tracking with adult signature required. Now I'm wondering what the hell could be in it, a dollar sticker auto?

Didn't get any of my above requests, but Topps did send me these two to replace a dollar card. I have no idea who the A&G lady is but still pretty cool.

Dang, I was kind of hoping you got one of these:

Oh, and the other one seems like a good replacement:

Nice, I have that same Stadium Club Tarpley auto redemption sitting there waiting for me to do something. And I actually pulled that same Jill Martin auto in 2016, except mine was the regular one, not the black #/25. Yours books for $20 according to Beckett Online.

I had an eight year old redemption (luis aparicio 2014 topps series one) that i was able to eventually get replaced. aparicio had stopped signing shorty after that release, and i forgot about it until early 2020. and then the pandemic hit. was able to finally get them to send a sub earlier this year. i'm a white sox fan, so i told them anything white sox.

got a 2016 legacies of baseball chris sale auto that is worth $25-$45 on ebay. i have other sale autos, but cant complain, as i paid roughly $10 with shipping for the original aparicio redemption.
