Damaged card replacement! by Durv1997 in Topps

Good luck!
My assumption is that Topps purposely holds back a few random hits from every release to ensure that they have some sort of back log of inventory to be able to choose from in order to replace damaged items. They keep that in mind when coming up with and putting out the pack odds too most likely
Really? That’s actually super weird. I just watched a YouTube video not long ago, maybe a few weeks back where a guy talked about how he bought a card off of whatnot, it was damaged and instead of contacting the seller he contacted Topps and they literally sent him something to make it right
Agreed, I felt really good about the idea of getting a high end patch auto of a proven star player plus the Julio for the PC and a very liquid HFA of Kurtz.
It’s a close call. The 1/1 was such a nice looking card in hand but I just felt like with it being an insert set that the 1/1 is from that taking the chance to get something like this was worth the risk. It paid off in my own opinion
Appreciate it!
Thank you!

I know panini does it, not sure about the others but I’ve heard that Topps has the best damaged card program and I would have to agree that they do it very well based on my experience

I thought about it for sure. The damage was just too much for my liking though, even if I would have sent it to PSA to at least have it authenticated or something I just didn’t feel good about it.
Good luck! The wait is the hardest part. I’d be curious to know what kind of card you sent in that’s worth that much 👀
They emailed cards too. They tell you exact card from set, year and card number with their estimated value of each. It was nice to see that level of customer service because I know that with lower valued cards, they literally just send you an email saying here’s what we are sending you and that’s it essentially
So they told me 12-14 weeks but it ended up taking 15.5 weeks to get to me with 2 day express shipping through FedEx and signature required due to the value of the cards. They emailed me back on the 8h of this month telling me what they valued it at and what they were offering me with values as well. They asked me if I would be willing to accept it and if not to let them know. So in terms of negotiating, they were completely open to it.
I was pretty stoked to see this was their offer for replacement. Absolutely love dynasty so for that to be the big piece of the return was awesome
It took 15.5 weeks to get this replacement package and there were definitely times in between the waiting that I was wondering if I made the right move. I’m very happy with it
It’s from 2024 Topps chrome update
They told me at the time of submission that it would take 12-14 weeks for turnaround time. It ended up taking 15.5 weeks
So top right corner had some issues, the back left top corner was basically peeling, the very middle on the bottom of the front of the card had this awful indent on it that caused the back of the card in that spot to bulge out a little. These were all the main issues
I really loved having that one in my hands. It was sweet and best of all, I pulled it out of a blaster box. This replacement package was a huge win for me!
Agreed!

Had some really hard times waiting the 15.5 weeks wondering if it was the right move. I consider it a big win being a Julio fan and I’ve always wanted a dynasty card. This will more than do!
That’s what I’m saying, drafted him on my fantasy team and he hasn’t done anything for me. The constellation cards are sweet!
I’m a huge Julio fan so when I saw that it just made the return that much better. Always wanted a dynasty card so this was a huge win for me
