I was too sad about the Texans playoff run to upload this so here we are. Maybe I'll make a video about the terrible officiating and it's effect on Texans fans mental health.

Most Valuable Card I Own? 11 Card PSA Reveal Featuring Numbered CJ Stroud Rookie
Good deal.
With inflation this seems about right
Very awesome, I’m actually meeting Buddy Kennedy tomorrow night. He’s in the Phillies organization right now!
That’s awesome! Hope he gets some playing time.
Thanks for this! I was going to send in redemption card I got from a 1994 topps box lol
So topps sends packs they have laying around? Aren’t they supposed to send everything they got out of the product?? Also the cards??
No I don’t think so. There’s a “no purchase necessary” clause on cards because it’s like a sweepstakes. If you send in a 3x5 notecard in with the right info on it they have to give you a chance to win. So i imagine they have packs around for that. Not super informed on it myself.
What’s card ladder?
It’s an app that aggregates card sales across multiple platforms. I would never pay $15 a month or whatever it is but it comes free with the premium collectors club membership. I actually like the app, it’s useful.
I think they are obligated to send something - because that redemption is the implied value of the box. It can’t “expire”
I remember when I was a kid packs had like 20 cards each pack now it’s like 6-8 it’s pathetic.
Some of you have been asking....I sent it to the new address on the back of modern redemptions: Topps Redemption Cards PO Box 851347 Mesquite, TX 75185
Imagine sending in something that had been expired for 30 years back as a kid in 1994(I was 13). 30 yrs prior was 1964. It seemed sooooo much longer than that. A 64 Mustang in 94 was already a classic. There's people driving 90s cars and trucks now but you'd never call those classics 😆🤷🤔 😮😕
Time is a hell of a thing
🔥❤🔥🔥
What address did you send it to?
I sent it to the new address on the back of modern redemptions: Topps Redemption Cards PO Box 851347 Mesquite, TX 75185
Wow Topps cares most companies would say would send you a legal letter saying they don't have to honor any agreement.
Pretty cool score for an expired card
did they give the winner card back to you
No they keep all redemption cards. I think so people dont try to scam?
I sent in an expired Kris Bryant auto rookie redemption in and Topps never sent anything. Its very hit and miss.
What address did you send it to? The one in mesquite is where I sent mine.
Good to know
I couldn’t name one single baseball player that’s currently playing, is Derrick Geeter baseball? I like stuff that’s actually interesting like punk rock, underground Rap, & the paranormal.
Glad to see that! Now I know!!! Also, could you post that address. I live by mesquite and wanna go get a job there 😂😂😂
I sent it to the new address on the back of modern redemptions: Topps Redemption Cards PO Box 851347 Mesquite, TX 75185
Damn maybe I should find my old redemptions and try, I had some that b4 they expired were to be worth hundreds, probably today worth tens of dollars. However traded for signed or even jersey cards much better trade up when otherwise worthless.
I admit i'm not familiar with baseball cards. I mostly just wanted to see what happened in terms of the redemption.
I admit I'm shocked that Topps still exists.
I expected clickbait. Pleasantly surprised
Setting low expectations and slightly surpassing them is my specialty.
"Just a little PSA PSA here" lol
i just recently sent in one from 1995 Orioles Spectra Light waiting to see what i get back
Subscribed. Fun channel, mate.
Thank you!
Topps robbed their customers. What a let-down for this long of a wait. I bought 2 packs... may just sell them
I bought 5 packs and still waiting on them to show up. Taking much longer than expected to show up!
I actually pulled one of these about 6 months ago and loved it for the nostalgia but had no idea what to do with it. I am going to send it in as well, thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! Good luck
I bought 1 pack and pulled a aqua /75
That is awesome! Are the parallels chrome or paper?
We have an unused 1996 chrome refractor kobe bryant redemption at my store. Thinking of grading it, there is no way topps is sending us enough to make it worth trying to redeem.
Oh yea that’s a tough one. You’ll get something back but $10 in packs might not be worth a graded redemption like that.
Got mine today 3 packs all base. Should have sold them as sealed packs.
I just opened mine and can honestly say this is one of the lamest products Topps has put out. The cards aren’t even a good quality like other on demand cards. I’d rather send Ohtani an SASE and hope for the best.
230 for a sealed box of 10 packs with a parallel is overpriced?
Topps are printing paper cards to TRADE for your REAL dollar bills. If people are getting into this hoping to hit some nice cards for the money, might be better to buy lotto
This guy's a Joke
Not even a funny one!
Hello from the rising sun Japan 🇯🇵 I am a new subscriber
Welcome and thanks for the sub!
i sent one in like 5 yrs ago and never got anything. it was the one from 92 topps baseball where u gotta get 3 perfect scratches without getting one out, my son actually pulled it off when he was 7 think the prize at the time was for a 10 card set of gold cards but yeah, never got anything back in mail
Terrible! I wonder if it has something to do with the fanatics buyout. I know when they bought Topps a few years ago they had a huge focus on redemptions.
yeah i mightve mailed it to wrong place too whatever the address on the card was is where i sent it, instead of just looking up a current address lol
Pasting the same text is so messed up and all the dead space is horrific design. Sorry to you AND me for buying a pack....hope I get lucky. Lastly, Im damn glad I didnt buy a box
I thought about, but didn’t get, couldn’t justify the cost. Thanks for sharing!
You are smarter than I.
Ha ha, nice! Will have to send the C/D in that I have.
Hey hey! New subscriber and also in Houston! Now waiting to see what the Astros do with no Tucker. I bought the whole Ohtani box direct from Topps for $200. Still hasn’t shipped. Praying something is in it that will at least pay for the box. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Did we just become best friends?!? Yes I’ll miss Tucker but we got a haul for him. Now we wait to see what happens at 3rd base! Hope you hit one of those nasty patches in your box! Let me know how it goes.
I’ve got 4 in my mailbox oh no.
Thoughts and prayers brother
You would think it’s from PANINI
😂😂😂
Tough rip lol
Oh sorry to hear that . They want to you spend $$$$$$$$$$$ to get 900/999
That’s insane! Topps is ridiculous with no competition
Topps is laughing all the way to the bank.
Topps has no shame.
Thought this wasn’t released until January. Tough pack though
