Hey I got a question. I got my first redemption card and don't know anything about these. Can you enlighten me?

[soxfan445]

Redemption cards are used when a company wants to put a product out, but they haven't recieved all the signatures back from the players. It acts as kind of a "place-filler" for the signatures. What you have to do is mail it in (or if it is Upper Deck you can do it online at upperdeck.com), and then in a while you will recieve your autographed card!! If you send it by mail, make sure you write down your serial number and mail it by trackable ways, in case something goes wrong.

Hope that helped,
Regards,
Mike
