    Unreal man. I can't even imagine how many Mike Trout autos Topps has gotten since you pulled that and they couldn't slip in some 2021 redemptions? Definitely dropped the ball on this one

    Bro this is absurd. I remember watching you pull that Trout redemption. I was happy that someone we support pulled such a monster hit. That's what we all dream of when we buy the hobby boxes......then to have them do this, to a hard working individual.....plus with the BS price hikes.....I can't help but agree with you 1000%. I hope people start to realize we, as collectors are the hobby....if we stop buying, we dictate the pricing. We need more Lions, not Sheep. Thanks for all you do brother!!

    this was depressing LSU, I can always tell when people have lost some semblance of heart and hope in something through their voice. You aren't wrong about fanatics wanting this to become a breakers game which is depressing really as ripping packs is one of the fun parts of the hobby. They really did shaft you on this one even though the Ohtani is clean. Keep your head up

  • @kevinsteele6206

    When a regular flagship blaster box goes from $19.99 to $30.00 plus. It really pushes most of us who collect for the love of the hobby out. Let alone a teenage kid just trying to buy some cards.

    The box value/return vs cost has gone down drastically over the past 2 years. Before it was just a little price increase but now boxes are watered down in the big sports, especially with anything Fanatics runs from hobby to retail. I have bought probably 80% less baseball boxes this year because of that. The falloff is real.
    Keep ripping, just pick your spots and can't wait to see your next rip whenever it is. I always enjoy your real takes on the sets!

    Crazy stuff. Topps has historically been pretty good with redemptions, maybe just slow at times. They should have comped you the value at the time it was pulled. I've been collecting since 1989 when I was 12. I'm a blue collar guy and I can't afford the hobby anymore either. I used to rip a couple hobby boxed a year. Now I'm lucky to rip 1 lower end release a year. Retail and singled for me. Keep up the great work and real content.

    Good call requesting an Ohtani auto as a replacement. Really sucks how Topps has jacked up the prices on everything. I stopped buying boxes to open and just buy singles now. It’s not as exciting but it just doesn’t make sense to open boxes anymore. Really glad you’re still planning to make videos. I enjoy listening to you talk cards so maybe you could make videos talking about what’s going on in the hobby, your PC Cards or the checklists of the new releases, etc… but good call putting family first and see you on the next one brother!

    Very similar situation happened to me with 2022 Update. I pulled what was around a $600 redemption of Trout /10 a couple months after release day. I redeemed immediately and it took a year and a half to receive it and it was a sticker auto. Ended up selling it for $250. I was somehow lucky enough to also pull an Ohtani jumbo patch auto /10 that was also a redemption. I’d already been waiting on the Trout for 6 months at the time and didn’t want to risk the same situation, so I sold it on eBay. Probably two of the three biggest pulls of my life and didn’t get to enjoy either card because the current Topps redemption process.

    This is absolutely unacceptable, at minimum they need to give you a 1 of 1, if not multiples. The amount of money that people spend on this hobby, they should be bending over backwards. Basically, they denied services paid for. There could be a possibility that a lawyer could get involved based on the fact of loss of value, that I am not sure, but there has to be a way to hold these idiots accountable. If everyone could just pull a Bud Light and stop purchasing any of these cards, maybe they would get the hint. However, I doubt that would happen.

  • @stringsandthings4325

    It’s sucks because you kind of get the pull of a lifetime. At that time the 1/1 Trout was like the best card from that set at the time. I don’t see why they couldn’t just get him to sign that card and even hand number it 1/1. Also does topps not care enough or see how important that kind of pull for a card collector is? Why couldn’t they make it right and give you like a couple of really great cards instead of just limiting you to one? If they saw a customer wasn’t happy with what they were getting from a card that was so huge I don’t see why they couldn’t just throw in another card that is awesome. Like I doubt it would hurt them financially to do that.
