well regarding the redemption crap things these companies do. Why do these autographed cards absolutely have to be in the packs that year they release them? I mean if Topps for example sends out 250 cards to say, Reggie Bush, and he doesn`t return them in time for the release of that product, why can`t they simply put them in another product? It will still be his autographed RC no matter where you pull it from. Even if it was released the following year. This would eliminate all redemptions. It would also force companies not to say who ar what type of card will be in certain products. I think it would be fine to pull a Reggie Bush auto/Jersey RC the following year. I wouldn`t mind one bit. There are ways to eliminate the redemption programs. Just don`t gaurantee us buyers any sort of odds of pulling an autographed card. It should be a surprise anyway. Not sure if I explained what I mean correctly, but I know what I mean. :D
