Redemption Policies Suck!!!!
I don't understand how card companies can put expiration dates on redemption cards. I bought an 06/07 Topps Chrome Basketball box today and got a Josh Boone redemption card that was expired. Now I am not that out about a Josh Boone autograph but obviously they only can put redemption cards out for as many cards as they get signed.... Why should there be an expiration date? If this was a Bird autograph I would be crying right now.... Has this happened to anyone else?

you know its a 50/50 if you send in an expired redemption they normally send you something back so it never hurts to try whats the worst that can happen.
Collecting All Current Las Vegas Raiders, Carmelo Anthony, Ken Griffey Jr, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas.
plus many more, Also any Legend or HOF raider players as well.
Just getting back into the Hobby so not much tradebait but have some stuff just let me know what your looking for and i will see what i have, No trade List Available yet but i am working on one.

I remember a couple years ago on the beckett board, someone pulled a Jordan auto redemption out of a 02-03 product(SPx i wanna say). After lots of phone calls and emails, Upper Deck ends up sending him 3 $8 GUs, a scrub rookie auto, and a pack of 07 upper deck football. I felt sorry for the guy.

As far as I know, Topps no longer compensates expired basketball redemptions at all, they'll just send your redemption back with a expired stamp on it. But who knows, they might send you a Chrome base rookie of Boone for your troubles...

That's why the retailers mark down the boxes after redemptions expire. Those "amazing deals" aren't so amazing if you do your homework.

I wish they'd mark them down a bit more. LOL
I still like alot of the 02-03 to 05-06 stuff and will grab some boxes here & there. I'm just not looking foward to pulling a MJ or LJ redemption that's expired.
I agree, there should not be expiration dates on these. I would buy so many older products if they didn't expire.

a lot of it has to do with the fact that most companies will used stuff from expired redemptions to fill holes in their redemption program. If player A wont sign anything, they need to have something on hand to send to people who get the redemption for Player A- and thats where a lot of the old redemptions go to. They also use them for promo work, or to compensate people who dont recieve the guaranteed hits in boxes, and complain about it
