That's EXACTLY what they're saying. They've done the same thing the last 3 years for that exact reason.

It's just an add on to the set, I don't know if it's the same as last year, but I mean, it's like saying: Oh we couldn't get these guys to sign on time so we will use these "mystery redemptions" as excuses as to why they aren't redemptions in products. Very lazy to me. At least have a different design to the mystery ones, or include them as regular redemptions in product. End of rant.

Well, I for one am glad that my streak of idiotic impulse buys remains intact. Live and don't learn! Damn the torpedos!! Batten down the hatches!!! But I DID batten down the hatches! Well batten them down again, we'll show those hatches!!!

I'm gonna wind up with Colborne / Frattin. I can feel it in my bones.

These mystery redemptions have been close to garbage the last 3 years. Not sure why people spend so much on these.

I think its out of hope that one year they will see the crap they are making and do one nice batch of autos for this set. The odds and quite long, but Mike Fricken Ribiero?

Hang your head in shame UD.

Well I got mine in yesterday.

Mike Ribiero and Bachman
Brett MacLean and OEL

Upper Deck has banned me from posting on thier FB page when they screwed me on a pack fresh damaged Taylor Hall rc patch auto, and I believe this proves how random it isn't when they pull redemptions for collectors.

Its disgusting they would put both of those in the same envelope to go to one person.

i got this one!

SOT2-RR Mike Ribeiro/Richard Bachman

thats after sending in 10 last year and getting every single one back as a scrub, %#$ you too upperdeck, im never buying sp authentic again and i was your biggest damn customer and supported of it

**mrsp0rtsfreak** · 12-21-2012, 07:56 PM

^ got the bachman/riberio as well. I feel your pain, wanted to punch something when that popped out. Really dont know how they can put names like that in this set..

Wow, 3 people on the same day getting the same Ribeiro/Bachman. My sentiments to you all. I'd rather have a lump of coal in my stocking than that card.
