I went to the post office and signed for the package from Pacific. In the package was 5 packs of Crown Royale hockey. I guess these packs were an upgrade but if I wanted to have the cards that I sent in replaced I would be out of luck. I guess since there weren't any inserts in the ones sent in they thought some better packs would work. Anyways, I think they did a pretty good job with the turnaround time. Out of the packs I got some nice serial numbered rookies and some inserts as well as a Forsberg, my favorite player. So good job Pacific.

That's not a bad deal Floyd.

Although I have since come back to them I have been very bitter with upper deck for a while.

Back in early 2000 I bought a box of SPx football and got a McNabb numbered auto rookie. I sent it in via regular mail and never got anything back. I was within the redemption period by the way.

I have emailed them over 100 times since about that card. I have gotten various responses with the best being "I'll look into it" and no further response.

Just writing this makes me so pissed I probably won't buy any UD for at least a month.

How much did you send in? Just some random messed up cards? I took it from your original post that you were trying to send the box back because so many cards were damaged.

Man that sucks, was that a redemption card? I know that the cards I just sent to fleer, I put delivery confirmation and insurance. Pain in the ™™™, but I wanted some cards back :)

It was one of those small retail boxes, I think there was 6 packs in it and I sent all cards back except for the two inserts because they were only ones that were mint. I think those packs went for $3 and I think these are more expensive.

Yes it was a redemption card. Back then I didn't think much of it as I didn't think McNabb would be that great of NFL player. Needless to say I was wrong and now the card goes for well over $100. :(

If I were you I would try and find a telephone number for Upper Deck and demand that you get something for that card. I'd been on the phone 24/7 until they sent me something.

Redemption cards suck.

I personally would have wanted the Redmond over the Owens any day. Of course I collect Redmond. hehe

Now with Upper Deck. I was surprised to hear of that kind of comment of Upper Deck. With Upper Deck I had opened a box of 2000 Upper Deck football. I had pulled an expired redemption card for a Tim Brown Auto/Jersey #ed/81. I was a little upset that I pulled what would have been a great card. But I went ahead and sent the redemption card in since I had nothing to lose. To my surprise I had recieved a package from Upper Deck with a Tim Brown Auto/Jersey card. So to say the least I was very happy with them.

Now with Pacific I have not dealt with them myself. But I have heard of other people recieving great service from them. So I hope you recieve the same. :)

Hi Richie,
Yep, you'd like it because you're a Redmond collector. It said he didn't sign anything for the product, so they give me an Owens instead. Congrats on the Tim Brown, that's a cool card.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck BGray, I'd call UD right now and tell them your story.
