What are BuyBack Cards?

[Flatbush 1957]

Are buyback cards something you have to mail back in, or are they cards that were inserted into the packs already?

I have boxes from the 2006/7 fleer basketball Jordans... but I haven't opened them and hope I don't have to mail any kind of redemption crap in.

thanks y'all

Buyback cards are basically cards from a company's older products in which they were never sold or bought back from someone else and are inserted randomly in packs. No redemptions are needed for buyback cards; they're already in the packs.

Buybacks are old cards companies had in their vault or inventory. They usually get them signed and put into packs to clear out their stockpile.

In some cases, they just stamp something on them and call them "limited" which is a bit annoying for player collectors.

I think they are old cards brought back into new packs as extras.
