Should I worry about Panini redemption?

sorry to hear this guys when it comes to football and hockey I know panini is on top of things. Cards usually in hand after a month or 2. Maybe the basketball department just sucks.

I'm just starting to worry a bit about my various outstanding redemptions from last year. There's a Jennings Timeless Rookie Recruits, a few Darren Collisons, etc.

A month or two ago I asked for a replacement for one of my Collison (on card) Classics autos, and Panini sent me a Ryan Gomes auto...majorly disappointed with that one, Gomes is pretty much the worst possible person Panini had autos of...

Exactly why Im afraid to ask for a replacement. Ill get who knows what in return.

I imagine people who purchased timeless treasures are taking a BEATING!!! on redemptions. I mean it's so many redemptions it don't even make sense in that product. not sure how they even sell that crap. might as well just throw money out the window if that's the case.

i'm still waiting on my john wall auto..... in which they have had numerous new ones appear since.

Yeah same story here. I've been waiting 9 months for a Demar Derozan auto from Timeless Treasures. Also just opened up three new ones the other day, and don't expect to see them any time before the new millenium.

Maybe i'm the lucky one. I submit NT RC 2 times. Both times, I was able to get the cards only a few days after some people starting to list in ebay. And both times, my patch were nice. I was not disappointed.

I think Panini just loads up WAY too many redemptions in basketball. Last year, they did ok. Now, they definitly get caught up with the demand to fulfill all the redemptions. I bet even if they have the cards, they need time to go through all the requests.

On top of it, they release so many new products every month. I am not sure how many ticket they can close per day. But I'm sure the number of redemptions that collectors submit will be greater than the number of ticket they can close per day.

I just got answer from Panini. They have my D-Will in hand a couple of moths back and I submitted my request a month ago but they said they will ship it out in the next 6 weeks????????

I got one with football for a certified jsy auto of emmauel sanders.. Opened the case for the redemption.. Just now got word, they said, We have to WAIT to get an autograph, It may take up to 4, yes 4 MONTHS. Never dealing with redemptions again.. Next time i'm throwing them out... Why would they NOT put an 40 dollar card in the pack when they put in an 500 dollar card... So Panini is BAD with redemptions!

Technically it's not all Panini's fault. They are really at the mercy of the players a lot of times trying to get redemptions filled. If the players are not signing, they can't physically go and forced them to do so. They can't threaten paying the athletes less if they're late, because the players might just not sign them.

This is coming from a guy who really hates/dislikes Panini.
