An update on my Panini redemption from 2017.

2 weeks ago I received a redemption pack of 2022 Mosaic football. I was disappointed until I opened it and inside was a gold sparkle prizm of Tom Brady. Not a fan of his, I immediately put it on ebay and it sold for $400 even.

I got more money than I would have from the redemption, but 5-6 years is a long wait!

I sent in redemptions to Pacific, and a couple others sometime before 2000....

I'm still waiting... Sort of, They're all out of business now.

My favorite was a Topps Football redemption my son sent in during the late 2000's as a really young kid. Some no name 4th or 5th rounder on card sig that he was overjoyed to have pulled.

Nothing shows at all for almost a year, then it was sent to him.

It was a basic auto card, however instead of an auto it had a gold embossed statement across the auto spot that simply said "Autograph not returned" in the same font and size as a serial number.

He was truly happy to see that (pure sarcasm).

In 2019, I bought a box of 2014 Panini product and got a redemption card. I figured WTF and logged it in. Took several months but I got the card. This promising things they don't actually have, totally ridiculous. Feels like a Seinfeld episode:

Agent: I'm sorry, we don't have your card available at the moment.

Jerry: I don't understand, I pulled a redemption for this specific card, do you have my redemption?

Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cards.

Jerry: But the redemption keeps the card here. That's why you have the
redemption serial numbered.

Agent: I know why we have redemptions.

Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a card. See, you know how to
send out the redemption card, you just don't know how to *hold* the card and
that's really the most important part of the process, the holding. Anybody
can just send out redemption cards.

Agent: Let me, uh, speak with my supervisor.

[The agent goes into an office with a window in the door so she can be seen
speaking with someone.]

Jerry: Uh, here we go. The supervisor. You know what she's saying over there?

Elaine: What?

Jerry: Hey Marge, you see those two people over there? They think I'm talking
to you, so you pretend like you're talking to me, okay now you start talking.

Elaine: Oh, you mean like this? So it looks like I'm saying something but I'm
not really saying anything at all?

Jerry: Now you say something else and they won't yell at me 'cause they thought I was checking with you.

Elaine: Okay, that's it. I think that's enough, see you later.

The agent returns.

Agent: I'm sorry, my supervisor says there's nothing we can do.

Jerry: Yeah, it looked as if you were in a real conversation over there.

Agent: But we do have a pack of crap if you would like that.

That sounds both awful and amazing all at once.

I've never seen something like that.

I do have some of the redemption cards from Signature rookies that never got sent in. I wouldn't mind getting more or even just a list of what exists.

I still have the redemption card from edge that would have gotten my choice of an autographed card? Photo? It's been a long time... of my choice between Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning. It expired well before there was any clear indication which was the better choice.
