Redemptions

[Brendan_B]

My Cleary dual sigs came back today, but there was no Katoa Booklet, the three redemptions were sent together, and no explanation why it isnt in there?

Comms isn’t TLA’s strong suit…

Likely he hasn’t signed yet. They should really consider having a link on their site that is updated weekly with redemption availability.

In furtherance and support of the above comments, the Player Managers are often the conduit and don’t seem to take the timely ‘signings’ of the cards seriously, even though this is a paid and likely obligated function of the players contract.

I am also aware of a couple of isolated instances where PM’s have given the cards to be signed to club Media Managers to get the player to sign post training / function. The result was some very damaged cards. I can’t speak to the veracity of this but the source is generally spot on….

I had the same thing. I emailed them and they said my other card isn't signed yet. Email them and they will hopefully tell you.

Same reason for me as well i guess, although i will ask.

They could at least leave a simple note in the package, or send an email to explain.

Agreed, and this is definitely a shortcoming in their customer relations. They have improved but could do better. As I said, a link on redemption availability updated weekly would be an easy (and consumer friendly) way to manage this.

It would save them the hassle of replying to tons of emails from people asking where their redemptions are!

What happens if the signing never occurs? Has that happened before? Is there a reasonable deadline?

I don't recall this ever happening with Select back in the day, the case-hit signature was usually a redemption but I always assumed that was just a way to keep the big value signed cards safe out of the product until someone redeems it, if that makes sense.

I am not aware of any non-signers. However, Fifita signed his RTF signature cards (20 Elite) with a biro found on the gym floor…

Select were pretty good but in fairness to TLA, they produced maybe 1/3, probably less of the signature cards TLA do.

Look at 11 Champs when S1 had autos. 28 signatures across that and Strike.

Even in 2013, TLA (ESP then) produced 56 signatures across two releases. The redemptions have only been in recent years, I don’t recall any before 2015 and even then, they were only for RTF cards. I suspect players, or more likely player managers are getting harder to deal with.

Can anyone please tell me what size Magnetic One Touch holders the patch cards fit in? They are obviously thicker than a standard card but there are multiple thicknesses available in the holders. Cheers

I'd like to be definitive but as I have never had an Elite patch card in hand it would only be a guess. A 135pt would probably do the trick. Perhaps even a 100pt.

180pt is for pretty fat cards.

I pulled the roosters nrlw dally m predictors from traders it ended up she won should redeem it & do they take quicker than panini

If its a signed card it will have to be designed, printed and then signed so id imagine anywhere from at least 6-8 weeks minimum to a few months or it to be returned.

Anyone heard anything regarding the timeframe on the booklet cards? got my cleary duo auto back today but not my Luai booklet. Will have to email to check up on it. Just like everyone else i also had no communication on where the other card is despite me posting them in together.

 

[Brplat]

I just got a reply, but not real informative. Fingers crossed they dont take months and months

 

[Lazlow]

Hopefully it doesn't end up like US sports cards, where you can wait 10 years, never get the card, and they send a replacement of "equal value"

 

[Jonathand]

I sent the roosters nrlw dally m predictor redemption a couple of weeks ago & I haven't heard anything so I emailed them on Sunday & they told me the cards were in the process of being printed & should be arriving in a few weeks

 

[ozsportscardcollector]

Got this recently. My first redemption with tla.

Nice sig by the young man.

 

[ozsportscardcollector]

Very nice cards the YG autos.

Any news on Khan Piera signing?
I sent both the booklet and the patch redemption cards in and they haven’t sent back the patch card even though this doesn’t require a signature. Curious if this is normal or not?
What’s the longest it’s taken in NRL player to sign?

 

[The_Funporium]

Not sure about NRL, but one of the WNRL pink mojo sigs was bordering on 12 months.

Addo-Carr took forever to sign his 23 Elite IA booklets. I think he even signed them the wrong way in the end.

I sent them an email asking about AKP and Burbo signing 3 weeks ago… they said neither had signed and there wasn’t a date planned either. Could be waiting a while

 

[Brplat]

Probably already know the answer to this one, but has anyone heard anything about the Luai booklets? assuming they are also waiting to be signed like many other cards

One would think any redemption card would be signed ready to go prior to date of a release.
Because its just plain false advertising and stating a lie that they have them when they dont.
