Topps Did Good: 2015 Bowman's Best Case

[horfin]

I purchased a case of 2015 bowman's best for me and my son to open after I had a minor surgery. We pulled two redemptions (these are well outside of the redemption period) and they do not qualify for the 10 year period. I talked to Topps and they said send in the redemptions and they would send me a care package. I recieved it yesterday (it did not take that long). The two redemptions were both RED (which means #'d of 10) and were of some player that I already forgot who it was (he never made it to the MLB). So what did they Send:
2021 #'d 199 Topps '86 Black Relcis Jose Altuve ($10 book)
2020 A&G Mini Framed Auto Barry Zito $12
2020 A&G Mini Framed Auto Michael Chavis $10

They also sent a couple of 2022 Bowman Platinum Packs.

I think it was very even....I mean a #'d of 5 would be cool (especially two of them) but I can actually trade these three for something.

Anyway as much as I bash topps, they did do very good this time.

Thanks!
Bill

That's heartening to hear. Topps's redemption process seems a million times better than Panini's. But that's just what I read.

I have also heard stories about Panini not being nearly as good as Topps....I jokingly sent in redemptions from the 80s to Topps one time about 5 years ago, and they sent me a few cards, no HOFers, but it was fun to get something back!

Cheers!

I should absolutely try to redeem some of my old 1980s redemptions. I always joke about it, but I didn't know you would actually get anything.

They surprised me, and I did get an email saying it was long outside the time frame, and I just asked if they could send anything they had. They obliged, which was nice!!

Personally, I’ve always been done right by Topps. Panini, well now that’s a different story.
