Default Topps Comes Through
I posted before my story about my Yao Ming Finest RC Auto Redemption. For those of you who didn't read I will sum it up for you--

I sent in the redemption and months later received some pretty poor replacements as they said they could not fill many of the Yao redemptions.

I tried calling the company and they said there was nothing they could do.

I decided to ask JSA for help, Scott immediately helped me out by contacting someone he knew at Topps. After a few short days Scott told me to email me his addy and he would forward it to this guy from Topps. This was about a week ago and I thought I would be getting another cheap auto in about 3 months. Today I came home and noticed a Large box from Topps. I busted it open and to my surprise I had not 1 but 2 boxes of 2003-04 Finest Sitting there!!!

I want to say thanks to JSA and to Topps for your help, now here are my pulls--

Thereon Smith Finest Ref Auto/ Jersey
Chris Webber Jersey
Tony Parker Refractor Jersey
Travis Outlaw Auto Redemption
Pick #10 and Pick #11 Redemptions
Kirk Hinrich RC Auto
Allen Iverson Jersey
and--

Press Plate Black Nikoloz Tskitishvili!!!

Here is a scan:

That's about the sweetest replacement I heard of. Now I think we all know what we have in JSA!
Great story and congrats on the pulls.

That's what I am talking about. I have heard people talk junk about Topps brand being cheap and they wouldn't buy anything other than UD. Well, I tell ya, I have always had good luck with redemptions and replacements with Topps. I love the extra pack they throw in with redemptions.

I've always said Topps has the best customer service. The others aren't even close.

Great story, very nice Topps was able to help you out that well.


Side note: Yao only signed approx. 200 of the /999 Finest rc autos. This has been known for quite some time. It's also been known for a while that they stopped redeeming the redemption card shortly after the products original release.

I feel bad for anyone who buys the redemption online thinking they will be getting the Yao auto.

Sweet replacement and nice pulls. Someone needs to talk to Topps about getting an email system!
