Do you get a refund?The odds of some of these cards being in a pack is between approx 10,000 packs to 1 to 100,000 packs to 1If the cards are never Autographed then it says a substitution card will be sent (e.g a baseball card that would be worthless to me) Edited March 22, 2014 by ThinkAboutYou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgnr Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yep... Still waiting for mine. Haven't even entered the codes yet. Really hope this one pans out.At some point Axl must've agreed to sign these I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Why not just sign them? How many cards are we talking? Would it take a hour of his time? A day?I suspect someone may have agreed this on his behalf hence the reluctance to see it through, a bit like the cancelled tour. As we speak it's probably sandwiched between rockfuel and rapidfire in ongoing legal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I recon its between 200-300 cards max Edited March 22, 2014 by ThinkAboutYou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 A bit of a dull job but 300 cards could easily be knocked out whilst watching a couple of Dexter reruns with pizza and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 How much did people pay for these redemption cards? Is it just a case of dealers finding them and then reselling to fans on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systronic Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) How much did people pay for these redemption cards? Is it just a case of dealers finding them and then reselling to fans on eBay?I've seen them go for around $100-300, of course the higher number is back after they were first hitting eBay and people had a glimmer of hope! I was lucky enough to get one and of course I'm still waiting! IMO the cards are there, they just have yet to be signed...EDIT: maybe I should change luck to bad luck...

To be perfectly honest, I don't think ill ever get mine. I think in the end Topps will offer something in return, i just don't think it will be a Axl Rose signed card....I hope I'm wrong.

However, I have not collected baseball cards since 1991 and have absolutely no interest in them now. Otherwise, my collection of baseball cards from my childhood would be inside instead of my storage room outside. I just want the Axl Rose card that I was offered through Topps horrendous redemption program. From what I've read though, Axl is not the first redemption card that Topps had a issue with...

Facekicker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So you guys paid for something that hasn't even materialised yet i.e - Axl having signed the fucking things. Good luck with that ever happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
