Thanks to everyone who watched so far, I will be making a part 2, explaining what I wrote to Topps and other information that I ddidn't cover in this video. If you haven't already please click subscribe and hit the bell so you know when videos are posted or when I go live.
it's pretty sweet that Topps at least sent some decent things back. The Jackson relic is awesome! Now everyone scramble and find those expired cards and send them in! Thanks so for sharing this!
That is so cool they did that for you. Thank you for sharing. Great to see your content and looking to see more. It was great to see you in my morning show chat. I hope you felt welcome
I always tell people to send in their redemptions even if they are expired. Well cant say that you dont have a lot of Neikro cards lol Very nice Bo !! At least you did get some auto;s too. Pretty nice haul for expired redemptions. Thanks for sharing !!
Dude this is an amazing video, I didn't know this was possible. I have always thrown away expired redemption's. I mostly do it because if its a big card I don/t need to be reminded of how Topps just ripped me off. I am going to save them from now on. None of the stuff you got was really that good, but who cares its the fact that they sent something. Never mind that Niekro auto is really nice! woof woof!
I agree, I wrote a nice letter as well explaining all the issues I have had in the past and how I have been big supporter of Topps. I think they as company really want to keep current customers around. I will do a part 2 to this video and show the letter and address I sent them to in case people want to do the same.
Awesome video Hobby Hound! I just was going through my old card collection and found a Topps gold redemption card from the early 90's I wonder if I could send it in 🤔.
Thanks brother, I am looking into sending in my expired to Panini to see how they deal with it in return. I am betting on Topps winning this showdown as Panini recently changed their TOS to say they no longer take expired redemptions.
Interesting. I'd be happy with that especially with all the Jays mojo! A little strange with the multiples though. Who knows what you pull in the packs as well!
It's good they sent you something, a few yrs ago my son pulled an expired redemption from UD and it was a solid player I tossed it before I realized you could still send it in
Thanks, yeah I agree you never know. I haven't heard anything on the non-expired "un-readable" redemptions that I sent along with these. It is my hope they redem those with the cards that are on them. I have an issue when I scratch the Topps cards where I scratch off part of the code. I have just started to use fingernails when scratching and haven't had a problem since.
I have a 93 or 94 (jeter rookie year) topps black gold complete set redemption. I was only 13 or 14 and didn't know what to do. Maybe I should send that in too. See what I get lol It's sweet that they gave you something
Eric its worth a try, I would guess they have long since distributed the complete sets, but its worth a try. I also have several of those that I pulled in later years. I do see that the unredemed exchange cards go for more than the redeemed exchange cards but not by much.
It makes me wonder how many redemptions that never get redeemed due to exipire or tossed. Also make me wonder why correct cards aren't always given out. Poor inventory management.
What Topps does with those unclaimed cards is something not everyone knows about. I have been involved in round tables with Topps and asked that very question. The answer I got was the cards in the expired product or program are used to cover cards that never were produced or signed by the player. It gives Topps and the collectors a place to meet in the middle and get the collectors a card in-hand. I think its probably clunky because there are so many issues that come up and because these exchange programs are run by humans who make mistakes.
Well that's better than nothing. I'm still waiting on my 2021 tier one and finest yoan Moncada autographs, none have shown up for sale so apparently I'm not the only one waiting. When I look at the status it says ask for a replacement, IDK if that's normal???
@@HobbyHound wow, that sucks. I totally hate redemption's now. I never had a problem until now. I asked around and people said if you see the cards listed on ebay then you know they are fulfilled. Last one was 2021 heritage low relic auto /25. As soon as I got mine others were also listing the cards they received. Now it's just a scam to get out of putting in hits. Especially your 1/1. Now that's really messed up. Makes you wonder if there's some backdooring going on in the redemption room. 🤔
Thanks slim I enjoy your videos as well! I’ve been absent from watching anyone’s videos so my goal this month is to go on a watching spree. I just watched a couple videos but it wouldn’t let me comment for some reason. Maybe TH-cam banned me. 🤣😂🤣
I have a wander Franco 87 black parallel auto that I redeemed several months ago . I’m kinda tempted to hit the request sub . I been told they send you some bs but I also been told they will send something with equal or higher value so idk
Wow that's pretty cool they sent you cards and packs! Too bad about some of the redemptions being big but better than a total loss. Sometimes the packs they send can have some good stuff in them. I assume boxes get damaged before they make it to a distributor and that's where they get the packs from. my assumption anyway
Thank you for every thing and love the card and your a legend and good luck to your streams your awesome and thank you again i do appreciate every thing and #thanks
It's worth the fact that the redemptions I sent were expired. If they had given better autographs instead of a combination of autographs and relics. But beggars can't be chosers.
I should really do this. I have a few expired and some damaged cards from Panini. Wow I'm actually surprised by what they sent you. This may turn out to be a better deal than the redemption depending on whatever you had. I should Definitely look more into this. Love the Niekro and Parker. I can't believe they gave you that Bo Jackson 😳 🤯
Wax, very cool. I agree they seem to help and care about customers when you have their ear. I am currently trying to get them to help a friend who I opened a box of Chrome Jumbo and he got 4 of the same player autograph in the box. Its my hope that they either send him a few of those customer service bundles or gets him a new box, with me sending them the other cards.
BROTHER, SUCH AWESOME REDEMPTION RETURN 👍 STRASBOURG 🔥🔥🔥🔥 LET'S GO BROTHER 💥🔥🔥, BRO I HAVE A HAND FULL OF HOCKEY EXPIRED REDEMPTIONS. I HAD BOUGHT A BOX OF BASEBALL CARDS AND INSIDE WHERE HOCKEY, ALOT OF YGs & #ED CARDS, HOF, A FEW AUTOS AND RELICS DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HOCKEY BUT THERE WHERE ALOT OF EXPIRED REDEMPTIONS. UNSCRATCHED, I WONDER IF I COULD SEND THEM IN, WORTH A TRY , RIGHT!
I agree Tony, I hope if Fanatics does end up buying Panini that they adopt the same policies. I received an updated Terms of Service from Panini website this summer that stated they will no longer accept ANY expired redemptions. Which goes against the origins of Redemptions. They were put in when an autograph couldn't be fulfilled either by them or the signer. Now it seems like companies just want to run out the clock so they can save money.
I 100% agree @turboandsons they really put customers in the corner and make it so that vintage wax boxes lose out on what would be considered a big hit. I have seen people pull cards with expired redemptions that would have received thousand-dollar cards but essentially get a piece of cardboard. It is sad.🤔🙄
I have a Shohei 'mega' auto redemption, submitted on time and correctly that's been sitting for a YEAR!!! I inquire every so often...they say it's coming!
As it happens, this week I got an email from Topps that a redemption of mine is being "prepared for shipment"! (One of two, I have sitting for two years now!) I hope it's the Ohtani! Will let you know...
Are you kidding me? I received a 2021 Topps Update Aaron Judge All-Star Stiches Red Parallel Auto Redemption... 11 months ok 10 months to get that card. Just got it last week... Ridiculous
Panini also recently changed thier Terms of Service agreement and it now says that they do not guarantee or will not take expired redemtions. They care little for collectors. Maybe if Fanatics buys them that would change? 🤷♂

Awesome returns. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Thank you for sharing.and keep on rippin!
Did the video get posted of what you wrote and who to send?
@hobbyhound where is part 2???
it's pretty sweet that Topps at least sent some decent things back. The Jackson relic is awesome! Now everyone scramble and find those expired cards and send them in! Thanks so for sharing this!
Go Astros!! I love those Alex Bregman cards...Great Video!!
Hello my friend another awesome video
That is so cool they did that for you. Thank you for sharing. Great to see your content and looking to see more. It was great to see you in my morning show chat. I hope you felt welcome
Kajun, I was so surprised and so happy. I have two other issues that I am seeing if they resolve it and hopefully with the same sort of care.
Great video, you and another guy have a similar video up on youtube. I have many expired to send
Cool, thanks, send them in
Great they gave you something! Love one of the Niekro cards…one of my favorite players him and his brother!
I always tell people to send in their redemptions even if they are expired. Well cant say that you dont have a lot of Neikro cards lol Very nice Bo !! At least you did get some auto;s too. Pretty nice haul for expired redemptions. Thanks for sharing !!

Pretty nice haul. Thanks for showing us this. I'm sure many folks just figure an expired redemption is garbage.
I agree, I wrote a nice letter as well explaining all the issues I have had in the past and how I have been big supporter of Topps. I think they as company really want to keep current customers around. I will do a part 2 to this video and show the letter and address I sent them to in case people want to do the same.
Informative video! I like the Phil Niekro and Dave Parker autos!
That is awesome H.H thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks brother
Pretty cool they sent you some cards and packs! Love that Bo Jackson! 🔥
Awesome returns bud. Weird some were doubles either way you cornered the market lol. Awesome Bo too!
That was cool that they sent something. Interesting to see. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve sent in expired redemption. I’ve never heard back. Glad to see you got taken care of!
Dang HH lol I’m glad you got some stuff back at least. That Bo 👀😍 thanks for sharing 😊
Topps hooked you up bro! Nice auto's!!! Thanks for sharing!
Now we need them to hook you up
@@HobbyHound 💙
Damn that was pretty cool. I have one expired redemption here, going to send it in to topps. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE THAT DAVID ( ANGELS) 👍
That's a decent return for expired redemptions.
I never thought to send expired redemption cards in. Pretty interesting results.
Awesome video Hobby Hound! I just was going through my old card collection and found a Topps gold redemption card from the early 90's I wonder if I could send it in 🤔.
Those Phil Niekro autos are sweet! And really nice Bo Jackson!
Thanks brother, I am looking into sending in my expired to Panini to see how they deal with it in return. I am betting on Topps winning this showdown as Panini recently changed their TOS to say they no longer take expired redemptions.
@@HobbyHound I agree. Plus with Fanatics taking over Panini there probably even less of a chance
Wow that is cool love the Dave Parker and the Bo card
Super cool video! Nice to see Topps doing the right thing 😊
Pretty nice alternate deal from Topps, it's something.
That's pretty cool that they at least tried to get you something for those expired redemptions.
Interesting. I'd be happy with that especially with all the Jays mojo! A little strange with the multiples though. Who knows what you pull in the packs as well!
wow that's cool that they sent you something. I really liked the Omar Vizquel he is a pc of mine and should be in the HOF
Very cool for Topps to send the care packages. Is the Parker available?
HOBBY , COMING THROUGH BROTHER, TO HIT THE LIKE AND GIVE U SOME SUPPORT BROTHER 🤝
Well that was pretty cool for expired redemption cards😊
It's good they sent you something, a few yrs ago my son pulled an expired redemption from UD and it was a solid player I tossed it before I realized you could still send it in
It's always worth a shot to send expireds in i just never understand why they have exp date anyways but nice haul you got thanks for sharing
Thanks, yeah I agree you never know. I haven't heard anything on the non-expired "un-readable" redemptions that I sent along with these. It is my hope they redem those with the cards that are on them. I have an issue when I scratch the Topps cards where I scratch off part of the code.

As a Braves fan, I'd be alright with all the Niekro autos. I still don't have his sig.
For expired redemptions thats not bad .. not to mention 3 neikro's for give away or sell to his fans !! :)
That Bo Jackson is sweet....He is my #1 PC
This makes me wish I had kept track of all the expired redemption cards ive collected. No idea what box out of the thousands their in lol
If and when you find em send em in my friend
19th thumbs up brother and awesome Mail-call and have a great week brother 👍😎👊
This is really cool that they sent you back stuff
Nice stuff
I really enjoyed this video. Bo Jackson relic is sweet and so were the autos.
Great job, and hat’s off to Tops.

Shaka, I have a similar issue with a Bryce Harper 1/1 autograph, they have had that "ask for replacement" thing on the card since 2018. 🤷♂️

Wow man, that's awesome
Nice stuff love the multiple niekro auto lmk if you want to sell or trade 1
Great share! Love the channel

@@HobbyHound TY
I have a wander Franco 87 black parallel auto that I redeemed several months ago . I’m kinda tempted to hit the request sub . I been told they send you some bs but I also been told they will send something with equal or higher value so idk

They sent some really cool stuff. Bravo Topps!!
Steve, I agree its always nice when a company shows they appreciate your business.
What a fantastic haul! Wow!
Looks like a decent pick up for expired redemptions
Thanks Lee, it was a great surprise.
Topps customer service is really good. I called them on some print line in a curated set and sent me a replacment
Awesome that is great news
very nice man well done
Thank you kindly OZKards, hope you are well
Thank you for every thing and love the card and your a legend and good luck to your streams your awesome and thank you again i do appreciate every thing and #thanks
Thanks Miguel, I am glad you liked it. and GO METS!
That Bo Jackson definitely the better one out of them. Cool that they sent stuff back.
Know what’s crazy, what if these 1/1 big chase cards are just sitting in packs at the topps factory 🤣
Love the Bo Jackson and David Eckstein! I have a couple I am going to send in. One baseball and one wrestling. Hope they pan out.
Is it worth it like the redemption you sent?
It's worth the fact that the redemptions I sent were expired. If they had given better autographs instead of a combination of autographs and relics. But beggars can't be chosers.
Would you trade a Phil Neikro? My late dad went to school with Phil and Joe in Bridgeport Ohio
Wayne, I am open to trade. Send me a message on Instagram and we can talk more.
@@HobbyHound unfortunately I don't have Instagram. Lol I'm not much into social media, I only have a Facebook that I'm very rarely on.
Would you sale one of the Niekros?
Kudos to Topps for sending these to you.
Great cards
I should really do this. I have a few expired and some damaged cards from Panini. Wow I'm actually surprised by what they sent you. This may turn out to be a better deal than the redemption depending on whatever you had. I should Definitely look more into this. Love the Niekro and Parker. I can't believe they gave you that Bo Jackson 😳 🤯
Panini has been notorious for redemptions, and not in a good way. I doubt you'll get anything back if you send them in.
@@kingwewuz7168 I was thinking of trying the Topps redemptions. I agree and have already tried with Panini one's using their mobile app.
The Bo Jackson was pretty sweet!
#TheHobbyist
Thanks Hobbyist, appreciate you watching. 🎃 #thehobbyist & the #hobbyhound hanging out. :)
Awesome return from Topps. Let me know if you want to part with a Niekro. Legendary player and good guy.
Man, you should scratch the UPS tracking number as well, some info you might not want out could be easily found with that
Thanks Dominique I will do that in the future. If someone shows up though maybe I can have a pack war with them
It's actually cool they sent you stuff. I think I'd be happy with this. Panini would probably reply with an insult.
Interesting assortment! 😂
I have a redemption from the early 2000s I never sent in maybe I will send it in and see what happens
Jason sounds good. Let me know if you are successful.
Congrats on getting some cards back! Crazy that you got so many doubles, but now you have some trade bait? 😂
Crazy how Topps made good on thse but haven't fixed the horrible 4 same autograph box
Yes, still waiting for that to get fixed
Quite nice of them!
Hah, I posted a video about this a few months ago. Topps is actually pretty good about long-expired redemptions.
Wax, very cool. I agree they seem to help and care about customers when you have their ear. I am currently trying to get them to help a friend who I opened a box of Chrome Jumbo and he got 4 of the same player autograph in the box.

Looks like Topps is blowin Panini out of the water as far as coming through for the customer… 👀

Send one of those Niekros to Pat Neshek, he will send you an auto back.
Got a Trout 🔥 relic #'ed, A.J. Puck Bowman 1st Auto, 3 Pack also Like A 🔥 ✌️
Not a bad return for expired redemption cards.
atleast you didn't get the same auto 4 times, lmao
Nice Bo patch but the same 3 Phil Niekro cards? C'mon Topps.
That is awsome of topps, if by any reason You want to sell the bo Jackson let me know he is my favorite
If u wanna sell the dave Parker lmk I'm a pirates fan
The way the hobby is they should stop putting a expiration date on them and keep the cards on hand for the customers and the hobby
I 100% agree @turboandsons they really put customers in the corner and make it so that vintage wax boxes lose out on what would be considered a big hit. I have seen people pull cards with expired redemptions that would have received thousand-dollar cards but essentially get a piece of cardboard. It is sad.🤔🙄
ill Take that Neikro off your hands lol
At least topps sent you some stuff... Unlike panini jerks. 👍
I’d be so mad if Topps did this to me
Respectfully those aren’t even close to what those redemptions could of been worth…better than nothing
I agree, I really wiish they would never expire
These are probably from folks who didn't care to redeem their cards. But hey, something is better than nothing.
Stop shaking so much. Gave me a headache to watch because you didn’t center with the camera and shaking the product. Either way very cool
Ffffffocus the camera
I have a Shohei 'mega' auto redemption, submitted on time and correctly that's been sitting for a YEAR!!! I inquire every so often...they say it's coming!
Let me if it was ever resolved. Topps finally sent some replacements to me, but they really messed me up on my 1/1 Bryce Harper
As it happens, this week I got an email from Topps that a redemption of mine is being "prepared for shipment"! (One of two, I have sitting for two years now!) I hope it's the Ohtani! Will let you know...
Another flurry and the Ohtani shows as being shipped!! Fed-ex says it's from Washington State.@@HobbyHound
Are you kidding me? I received a 2021 Topps Update Aaron Judge All-Star Stiches Red Parallel Auto Redemption... 11 months ok 10 months to get that card. Just got it last week... Ridiculous
If only panini was that fast! SMH
Panini also recently changed thier Terms of Service agreement and it now says that they do not guarantee or will not take expired redemtions. They care little for collectors. Maybe if Fanatics buys them that would change? 🤷♂
