Topps Replacement MISERY!

[msriflegirl]

The EXACT same thing happened to me. I redeemed a Ray Allen Scenic Signatures auto from 07-08 Letterman (#ed to 19) and got the Isiah Thomas Signatures auto #/ed to 999

Within the same 2 week span, I got a Spud Webb Signatures #/1899 as a replacement for a Mario Chalmers Murad auto. I also got another Thomas Signatures auto #/ed to 999 for a DJ Augustin Murad auto.

IMO, for the Chalmers and Augustin autos, maybe those replacements were ok, but for the Ray Allen...um ABSOLUTELY NOT. I wouldnt spend a dime of my money or anyone elses on that Signature crap...and I certainly didnt appreciate receiving those autos as redemption replacements.

I thought about calling Topps...a friend of mine and hobby shop owner also urged me to do the same...but if they didn't care enough to give me a decent replacement the 1st time, why would they care about my call. I have just decided not to purchase any more Topps basketball products....maybe thats a bit extreme...ionno...

I feel your pain brotha...

Here goes my awful story. I've been waiting months and months for a few cards from Topps. So a few days ago I get 2 packages in the mail from Topps. I'm a little excited because 1 of the cards they owe me is from 07'08 Topps Letterman, a Ray Allen autograph team logo patch (I think these are #/19?). Low and behold I open the first package and I see that DREADFUL little slip of paper that says "your card wasn't made here's your awful replacement we decided to mail you, muahahaha! sincerely Topps blah BLAH BLAH". So they replaced this card, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I GET? (keep in mind I was born in NYC and am a diehard knicks fan). Topps decides to replace my Ray Allen WITH A ISIAH THOMAS 08'09 TOPPS SIGNATURE AUTOGRAPH CARD #/999!

:pauses at keyboard and takes deep breath:

SO, package numero dos! I open it and SEE YET AGAIN that dreadful slip of paper knowing now this card is a replacement as well. So, I was supposed to receive from 08'09 Topps Chrome, a Darrell Arthur autograph RC. Now I actually like Arthur and think he has potential to be a nice power forward in the league. Safe to say there were red lines in my eyes and I was literally grinding my teeth. SO, I pull out replacement card #2 and what is it? A 08'09 Topps Signature Spud Webb autograph card #/1,899.

What the heck Topps? I bought these 2 certain products NOT TOPPS SIGNATURE. Why would I or anyone in their RIGHT MIND want to buy a product where the autograph print runs have been injected with steroids, HUH? I bought 07'08 Topps Letterman & 08'09 Topps Chrome not ya crappy topps signature product. What should I do guys?

P.S.: About a month or more ago I received a 08'09 Topps Signature John Havlicek autograph card #/599 or 699 FOR a 08'09 Topps Co-Signers Dual autograph of Devin Harris & Rajon Rondo. Do you guys think this was a fair replacement? My friends think it was but they say I should definitely call Topps regarding the Ray Allen replacement...Please help!!!!

Wow that really blows but you're right in your last statement. If they didn't care enough to give us a decent replacement the 1st time, why would they care about taking our call and fix it? Maybe BECAUSE they won't be producing NBA cards next season? At the end of the day who really gets screwed? It's us.... what a shame... Greed kills all in this word and is most definitely the root of all evil. But you're right, I shouldn't buy anymore Topps products. Actually you know I want to place my call. I will be totally sincere and explain how disappointed I am in them and tell that representative if Topps gets the license back to produce NBA cards that you won't have my business anymore. I really think I'll feel better after a heart to heart...but I really wouldn't mind getting my hands on some Topps executive, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
