I waited probably 3 years to get some redemptions from Topps. I never got the player I was supposed to get.
Oh if I don't get this shite... I probably should have sold the redemption card on eBay, but I know that could have been a hassle since anything redemption-wise sucks arse to sell on there
I think this card could fetch a pretty fricking penny if I had it right now, stupid that I have to redeem it

you're better off just searching for some of your favorite players on eBay.
definitely the way to go, especially if you are prospecting to sell. I bought a shitload of Luka cards a few months into his rookie year. Had a lot of Siakams as Toronto made the playoffs, sold those when they were about to win the finals. I collect Pels/Nola players.

How are the retail packs like at Walmart these days?
Insanely difficult to find to the point that if you do find them you are better off selling the unopened package on eBay because it will go for more than what you paid for them. If you open it your chance of getting anything noteworthy in't high. A Zion base card from an optic pack will go for around $60, base from NBA Hoops around $15-25, Base from Prism can go $100+.

Edit: Yep, just redeemed it on Panini. I think I just pulled the rarest Ceedee Lamb card in the set... But frick me it takes 4 months to get it
Good luck with them. I've been waiting on a Mitchell Robinson auto from them for over a year now and will not respond to any email I send.
You MAY get lucky with the Lamb because of it's rarity but good luck

Why do they even do that redemption bullshite? I had 3 of them in these 2 boxes

Nice!
Some recent cards I picked up are John Stockton Fleer Rookie PSA9, Shaq Rookie Upper Deck PSA Authenticated and a Jayson Tatum Beckett 9.5 Rookie Select, and Jaxson Hayes Origins Auto on Card.
Was planning on selling the Tatum if they made a playoff run

Because it depends on how many of those stickers they initially send off to the players, how quickly they return them, and when they send the following stickers out to them. Those redemption cards are basically like an IOU until then

It triggers me since it sounds like I won't get any of those autos, especially since I may have pulled one of the rarest cards in the set 
Hell, this kinda ruins the pack opening experience

I think you'll be fine with the Lamb card just based on the rarity and they'll put a sticker on there first
Posted on 4/9/20 at 9:41 pm to GeauxAggie972
What do you mean by these stickers?
Edit: any good subreddit for sports cards?

If you look at the autos you already have, they're actually on a small sticker that gets put on the card by Panini or whatever card company instead of the signature actually on the card (which they do as well).
The players get a contract from the company that they get paid X amount of dollars to sign say 2,000 stickers. They sign them all in a certain amount of time, send them back to the card company who then puts them on the cards

I got the TOPPS baseball and book for my daughters when they were really young.. and this would be their matching and identifying game.. .and it got to the point where my daughter could rattle off the starting lineup for the 76 Reds at birthday parties... to this day she has such great knowledge going through this book all the time when she was young.. and there is so much to learn about graphic design and logos and just baseball history...

I now have an innate ability to rattle off the college of almost anyone because of my card collecting when I was younger...and sports video games now

Man, I'm still so salty about those redemption cards 
I'm about to grab some more boxes bc the card board crack is setting in
Also nice having an inside grading source with PSA for some of these cards. Probably not worth it for a casual collector to get some of the cards I pulled graded, but I want those LSU rookies up there with the rest of my graded trading cards

I’ve got a Hank Aaron, a Willie Mays and a roger maris lying around, probably mid grade so really not worth a whole lot

Donruss customer service is probably better than Topps, so have some faith. What boxes you getting this time?
Posted on 4/11/20 at 2:02 pm to bluebarracuda
I have a 9.5/10 graded Bregman auto rookie I bought right when he first came up for $75 bucks that has quadrupled in price.

Someone fun to follow is Jabs_Family on Youtube if you are in to baseball. He does a video about every day showing new cards or throw backs. He knows a ton and is pretty excitable.

Probably these same boxes. Don't really care for baseball and the basketball boxes are like $800
