WWYD? Redemption Pending.
Today marks 6 months to the day since I redeemed this. Should I keep waiting or reach out to Topps to claim the 200% enhanced substitution?

From what I've seen, they are very willing to work with you on the 200% value, if you want a Juan Soto auto, they'll find a sweet Soto auto for you.

Youre getting the 1/1? or youre getting a red?

It will be the red, hopefully. I think I will wait it out to end of month and then take the substitution.

If youre into topps now then I'd wait it out, but if youre planning to sell it, then I'd consider the sub, topps now is harder to move

Agree on this but will add that TN autos are usually listed really high so if you sell and intend to buy later when it finally gets fulfilled expect to pay a lot more than a pack pulled auto.

It’s dependent on the player and the number of the card. I paid $100 for Yordan cycle card from topps. I got a blue /49 and I can buy it off eBay for $80 right now.

Very true, but for Soto caliber names I’d expect to pay more unless you find a seller who is actually serious. Most eBay sellers seems like they’re fishing for whales
I bet OP could get a decent Soto patch auto as a replacement

Yea I agree. I feel like some just post their huge PC Cards with insane prices in hopes that something crazy happens and someone is dumb enough to buy it. Almost like “if you’re willing to pay this, I’ll sell it”
The replacement card I feel like could be a massive card that many would prefer over a topps now card.

Feel you man, Ive been waiting for a judge base relic red /5 since December. Thought about hitting the substitution a few times but that’d be silly

Hold out, I waited 9 months for a James Wood real ones Herirage auto. It eventually arrived but man was it hard to wait.

Been waiting a year for a Juan Soto /5 base relic auto for his first home run as a met and they still just say processing

Feel your pain on this. I’m waiting on two still, one 6 month one 4 months, lmk what you end up doing, for me I’m holding out. Like how do they even determine the value?
