Great redemption in, no replacements

[thegamebrain]

Redemption is in, in less than 4 weeks from the time I redeemed it. Not bad Upper Deck. The even threw in a pack of 01/02 Challenge for the Cup. Now, I took a break from collecting from 99 to 05, but what the hell is the product? I don't remember what I pulled, but it was slabbed nobody. I wasn't expecting it, so no complaints here.

Anyway, with the few threads I've read of people complaining about the boys from Carlsbad, I couldn't be happier with the turnaround and level of service I received for this particular redemption. May be an isolated incident, but they came through, all in less than a month.

Here's the pic.

On for trade for Roy autos in a Habs uniform, Rocket Richard or other HOF Canadiens red white and blue, autos (cut or hardsigned preferably) always preferred.

Great looking Card!!!!

Challenge for the Cup was a product that had one BGS slabed graded RC in a box. Like 1/3 of the RC print run was sent to BGS for grading.
If you hit big it can be pretty good. I guess UD is sending lots out I have been seeing them lately.

Thanks

Is it me... or does that autograph look totally wrong for WG? Either this was at the end of a major signing spree or someone else may be signing for him? Just looks odd to me.

You mean that Wayne was not 98???



Thanks

I thought the same thing, end of a long signing spree. Still, hard to be anything but happy when you get a Gretzky auto.

auto is sloppy and not crisp like other waynes I have or saw. I got an in person of wayne years ago in his half season with Blues.. I was last guy in line as I let all the kiddies in front of me go.

the 99 almost looks like a 90 on that card!

oasis, I'd love to see a scan of that one to compare.

Thanks for the feedback, educational if nothing else.

It is obviously Gretzky's sig or UD would never have placed it on the card... just looks sloppy, which is too bad. Great card regardless!

You coach a team like the Yotes for a few seasons and see what it does to your signature

Maybe he thought he was signing the lineup sheet and had a nervous breakdown...

It's obviously all about them having it in-house anyway. There's been plenty of time for Gretz to return those since the product was released.

I waited a total of 7 business days (9 days total) for my Radulov Scripted Swatches, so it's all about timing!

 

[thegamebrain]

Obviously, but I still felt it needed to be addressed seeing as I kept reading thread after thread lately of redemption and replacement problems.

My last redemption was a replacement, and it feels great to see the card you redeemed show up on your doorstep less than a month later, whether they had it in-house or not (to me anyway) is irrelevant. To me it's about giving credit where credit is due. Maybe my next redemption will have me livid, so for me it's all about enjoying the moment
