Amateur Osteologist Card Allen & Ginter

[dalecasey]

Hi everyone,
I bought a hobby box of 2014 Topps Allen & Ginter baseball.
I beat the odds (1:6,600 packs) and pulled an Amateur Ostelogist Card, which can be redeemed for a unique (1 of 1) encased animal bone.
It expires 7/31/15.
The fine print says: "This card can only be redeemed from inside the United States of America."
I talked to the hobby shop owner and he said another customer had pulled a butterfly redemption card a while back, and the card wasn't able to be shipped across the U.S.-Canada border. However, he said another customer had received a dinosaur bone card without any hassle.
Just wondering if anyone in Canada has experience with a similar redemption card? I'm tempted to redeem it if I can receive it.
If not, I would list it on eBay with the U.S. only disclaimer.
Thanks,
Bruce

Are you able to setup a USA address with something like KINEK and also mail the redemption from the USA side of the border? USA to USA to USA. Keep a paper trail for the CBSA guys when you go pickup from KINEK depot in a few weeks and everyone's happy.

Thanks for the info. I've emailed Topps customer service as well to see if a rep there can provide some clarification (ie absolutely no shipping to Canada).

If you know someone you trust in the USA just have the redeemed card sent to them, then have that person ship it to you.

Back when UD Champs had wooly mammoth bone cards I redeemed one and it was sent to me in Canada no problem. That was back around 2008-09 I believe, maybe Topps does it differently?

Thanks. My preference would be to get the card redeemed, but having trouble getting clarification from a Topps customer service rep.
I don't want to trouble a U.S. collector with having to ship the card to me.
