Redemption Roulette

[drearick]

Well I opened one box of Hot Prospects this past spring and of course with my luck I ended up with one of the few redemptions (Benoit Pouliot). Noticed the status yesterday that it was not going to be produced and to call for a replacement. Since it's a player/team I don't collect and a card I pulled I'm not really caring too much what I get, but I'm interested to see how UD deals in equality. The rep asked me for my teams and players and instead of giving him that information I simply told him that I purchased the box solely for the purpose of getting an Auto/Patch Rookie. With that in mind I told him that I didn't care what team it is or what player it is, but I want the card to be replaced with a comparable value Auto/Patch Rookie (basically another common).

This may sound simple, but I'm betting that I end up with a 3 or 4 year old jersey card of some middle of the road player that's been around for 10+ years (ie; Jeff O'Neill, Rod Brind'Amour, etc.) and a "vintage" auto of some guy that played 30 years ago for the California Golden Seals or Colorado Rockies that I've never even heard of.

I'll let you all know whether I win the bet ...

I will let you know now you will lose.

Seriously I hope you make out alright. Sad thing is Pouliot is decent prospect with good upside.

They seem to have lots of Hemsky around so enjoy your jersey card when you get it.

thanks

Maybe you should have gave them a team or 2 rather than taking a risk. You could have chosen a player you collect or even one that you know a team collector might be able to give you a trade on. Either way good luck...My Ryan Whitney The Cup 1/1 plate auto is still stuck in limbo...but I am hoping that I don't need to choose a replacment

Update on the Mail forum ... yep, I got screwed.
