Panini Redemptions

[Brusski]

Another update...

A day after opening a general inquiry about why it was taking so long for my replacements...they answered, like I mentioned above, stating basically that they had no idea what I was talking about...even though I had emailed and called on two separate occasions...

anyways, Thursday I re-told them what redemptions I wanted replaced...and Friday I received confirmation that they were shipped.

After 5 months, contacting Panini through email and phone...nothing happens...All of a sudden, in 1 day they get it done...

Faith restored in Panini??? Not yet, but on the right path to competency? Maybe!

Here are the replacements:
2010-11 Contenders Great Outdoors Auto Datsyuk...replaced with...2012-13 Prime Numbersakes Datsyuk (great replacement. Very happy with this one.)

2013-14 Totally Certified Rookie Jersey Auto Platinum Red Frederik Andersen...replaced with...2013-14 Totally Certified Yakupov RC (Not sure how you justify this replacement...a jersey, auto, sp...for a regular, nothing special rc????)

2013-14 Totally certified rookie jersey auto mirror platinum red Ristolainen...replaced with...2012-13 Dominion RPA Turnbull (Fair replacement BV anyways...although Turnbull isn't in the NHL...)

Thoughts on the replacements???

I don't know, the Datsyuk is a nice replacement I guess, but the other 2 are an absolute joke to me.

I'd be happy with them. The Datsyuk is nice. I think getting a Yak RC is hard to be upset with. The exchange from a Totally Certified RC to a Dominion RC is good too in my opinion, since neither player is guaranteed to break out. I'm going off a collector standpoint though, not a business standpoint. If you focus on collecting rather than selling like me, I'd be happy. I know not everyone has that mentality though.

Final update I guess...Hats off to Panini:

They FedExed the redemptions. I ended up receiving them next business day...unheard of!

The Datsyuk is a really nice card...(such a nice card that there are none on ebay at all...apparently everyone's keeping it!) and way better than the card I was waiting for IMO...so worth the 4 year wait!
The Yakupov ended up not being his plain TC rc, but his TC rc auto! That was a welcomed surprise!
The Turnbull for the Ristolainen...I'll take a Dominion over a TC any day!

All said and done, if I ignore how long I had to wait...I'm pleased with what I got.
