Help me with my Title Shot 2011 Autograph Set - Cards & Info!

[chiayuwang]

The thing is, I don't want it to be replaced with whatever EQUAL VALUE. I need it for my set!! I know definitely there are copies out there.

Besides, Topps still owes me many cards from S4 & KO1. They have trouble fulfilling relic cards, not just auto.

I guarantee that you will not find any answer from Topps rep regarding these kind of questions, I tried. You will get standard crappy answers that I won't bother to repeat.

That's brutal, sounds like you won't ever see that Gomi. I called about my Cyborg KO relic auto - which is all over ebay - and the guy told me they are "waiting for materials"? Which doesn't make sense since they seem to have printed the card. Does anyone know anything over there?

I'm not sure why we as collectors keep taking Topps' brutal customer service and quality control. I guess we're helpless seeing as how they have exclusive rights. Big hits pop out damaged (although this has improved in KO and Finest), past autograph sets are shameful when it comes to condition (Round 1 and Title Shot pop out) and this year they proved they can't even track "debut" or "1st Autograph" cards.

"We are waiting for materials..." or "We are waiting for the athlete to sign..." are just lies. I am sure they have sticker autos or cloth pieces sitting around they just would not make the damn card.

TS Gomi Base Auto - This example destroys all the excuses Topps might have. It's a base card + sticker auto. There are no reason why they cannot make this card. TS was released in early 2011. Topps has Gomi sticker auto available in later releases: MOT(plenty), KO2(some), MOT Independence Edition(114), & Finest2(some).

KO1 Anderson Silva Full Contact Auto - OK it's supposed to be an on-card auto. Topps has Anderson on-card auto in Finest1 & KO2. Why in the world they could not get him to sign for earlier release? When they are pressed with this question, they will just go "I don't have any information available at this moment. Please call us back MAYBE we will have an update for you. Keep checking your redemption account regarding status....."
