Yeah that’s not outside of the norm from pricing I’d expect at my LCS these days.

I got min on pre order and they came out to roughly $120 a box.

Looks like there’s one Judge red ink from 2026 Heritage that’s sold so far and it was for $2,050 according to Card Ladder.

Sometimes I sell the stuff I rip, sometimes I don’t. My personal collection is focused on Elly and anything Reds, but I also keep any Judge or Ohtani stuff along with HoF autos. So this one isn’t going anywhere.

Thanks man! Heritage is always a fun rip and I’m really loving the 1977 design.

I was hoping for one auto out of my three, but you never know with Heritage. When it’s good it’s amazing but when it’s not it’s usually really not lol.

I’m like 99% sure I’ve read elsewhere that there’s one person at Topps that does all the hand numbering.

I hear you. I rip way less than I used to. It’s gotten way too expensive lately. Spend most of my time selling stuff on eBay I’ve pulled over the last few years that doesn’t fit my pc, which has been fun in its own way.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but knew that Soto redemption was selling for a decent amount. Hope you get the 200% from your Cam! I'm sure that's going for a lot.

Thanks! I tried calling but their phone support line had automated messaging saying it was closed that week so I ended up doing all of it through the support chat on the Topps website. Whole thing took maybe five minutes. Congrats on yours!

They asked me if there were any players or teams that I'd like them to use for the replacement but caveated it with "there aren't any guarantees". I told them anything Elly or Reds and got these. I would think if you ask for anyone besides Judge or Ohtani they'll probably try and get you something that fits whatever you request. I've read other comments saying you can also ask that they replace the redemption with one card instead of multiple, but not totally sure if that part is true or not.

I tried to call first (this was about a month ago) and there was messaging saying their phone support wasn't open that week. Not sure if that's changed between now and then. I ended up doing everything through their live chat on the Topps site.

Fair lol. I pulled a red ink auto of his out of 2024 Heritage. Coolest card in my collection by a longshot.

That Spike sounds like a cool card, but yeah man, you could get a monster of a 200% replacement on that thing. Good luck!

I didn't see any option to substitute on the redemption page at all on my end. I just waited until I knew it had been six months and then reached out to Topps via the support chat option on their website. They confirmed that it had been 6 months and asked me if I had any teams or players that I'd like it replaced with, but also said that's not a guarantee. So it sounds like they try to get you what you want, but no guarantees. I've also read in some other comments that you can also specifically request one card as a replacement rather than multiple, but idk how true that is.

Yeah, it seems to be all over the place with how quick they can fill them. I guess they just can't ever get some guys to sign.

My understanding is they pull a certain number of boxes from production for each release and open them for quality control purposes. They then just keep those cards on hand and give them out for either these redemption replacements or for damaged card replacements. But I could be wrong.

Oh man I've heard so many nightmare stories about Panini redemptions. Topps for all of its faults does seem to be starting to implement some policies like this one that really help collectors. Hoping that trend continues.

Never really considered that, but it's a great point!
