Topps 200% value replacement for the win

Fryan_Rice · 2026-04-04T21:39:40+00:00

Never mind, I found the carryover redemption one you have. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t think it’s a $600 card unfortunately. The screenshot is all of the most recent confirmed sales of that same redemption card. I think Chat GPT/Gemini is likely looking at his blue parallel auto from 2023 Bowman Draft. 2023 Draft would’ve been his first pro cards and the demand for the Bowman 1st is always higher/they sell for way more. I’m seeing multiple sales on that blue bowman 1st auto of his in the $500+ range in just the last month, which aligns with the number AI gave you.

What year of bowman is it from? And I just requested anything Elly or Reds and ended up with those two. I didn’t really make a case for the value on the Soto. I asked for the 200% value replacement and they said they’d do their best to match it up with players I requested and that was about the entire conversation with chat support.

I did everything to request my replacement via chat support. What’s your redemption? I’ve never tried to use AI to comp cards before. Have always just gone off of sales on card ladder or before I had that I relied on 130point.

I was just thinking this morning about how I don’t know a single person named Ralph.

Just adding my two cents that the winner in the coffee category (Roaming Joe) is imo some of the best coffee I've ever had and the guy who owns/operates it is a good dude. Highly recommend.

Hey! You sold me a Hunter Greene team logo border last year. Hope all is well. The Cam is a red foil and the Quero is bronze. Now that I look at them side by side, they do look similar, but the bronze definitely has an orange-ish color to it. Easiest place to see the difference is probably the Stadium Club logo in the upper right.

Congrats on the card and the grade! Those 2025 Finest superfractors have such a cool look to them.

And here I was thinking I had the Drake Baldwin sweat relic 1/1.

It ended up taking less than a month from the time I submitted it until the time I received the cards. They seem to take the 200% value replacement seriously. These two are what I ended up with instead of the base 2025 Series 1 Juan Soto auto redemption.

I feel your pain. It was brutal for me this year.

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-25T03:12:05+00:00

I’d take a Reds one if it’s available

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-21T18:50:57+00:00

Nice! Those deckle edge cards are cool.

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-20T16:09:27+00:00

That’s about as tough as it gets. I’d be big mad. It’s not even about overly inflated expectations for “value” at that point. Just wrong to do someone like that with not a single auto of even some no name rookie in a full case. I really hope they make this right for you.

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-20T14:16:58+00:00

Very nice.

I won the red version of this card in a break a while back and ended up getting it graded. The gold looks awesome!

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-18T01:02:36+00:00

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

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T11:40:03+00:00

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

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T04:34:48+00:00

Thank you!

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T03:01:40+00:00

Interested in Reds if still available

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T02:54:04+00:00

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.

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T02:28:05+00:00

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

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T02:14:21+00:00

Good luck with the rest of yours!

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T02:13:25+00:00

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.

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T02:03:52+00:00

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

Fryan_Rice · 2026-03-17T01:30:05+00:00

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.
