Topps redemption replacement

[seanerster]

I redeemed a Quad Auto from 2008 Topps Co-Signers a while back. I have to say the Topps redemption process is much different then UD. They don't allow redemptions to run on open ended. When they send a replacement they do so without warning or consultation. And because they give up on redemptions quickly their success rate of actually filling redemptions is quite low. As far as the quality of replacements, well I guess that's up for opinion. At least these have been my experiences.

The card I redeemed was:
2008 Topps Co-Signers Quad Signers
Dimitri Young
Delmon Young
Justin Upton
B.J. Upton

Here is what Topps sent me:

I am of 2 minds on this replacement. On one hand it's a triple auto rather then a quad, it's also not as rare and hard to pull. On the other hard the players on the card are, on the whole, of higher caliber and potential. I think in the long run I'll be happier to own this card then the quad I was due to get.

I would really love the opinions of the HI community on how I made out on this replacement.

Thanks,
Sean

Don't like it myself - Hughes and Joba are struggling and Cabrera comes off the bench. The Uptons have ton of upside, while I'm indifferent on the Youngs

You could get more trade value for that card right now than you would for the other card. But Hama is right in that in the long run the other card will probably be better. If you are going to trade or sell it I would do it now.

I'm with the other two on this one too. But it is a New York Yankee Card so I would sell it now.
