I will remain a bit skeptical.

You don't send it to Topps. You scratch the back and input a code online. Part of the promotion was what they called "White Glove Treatment." They flew someone there to take it and personally submit it to PSA. From there, PSA did same day service. None of these things takes much time at all. In fact, the longest delay was due to evacuations of the family. The whole process with Topps and PSA took a couple days at the most.
EDIT to add: The family shopped around at auctio houses prior to redeeming it. It appears from the timeline that they actually redeemed the card on January 3rd, after pulling it on Christmas.
