thats cool man, i am really surprised you could get anything.

so what is stopping me from writing to them to say my boxes were duds when i didnt even buy any, or if i got a fine break and still said they were duds?

not saying i would be that dishonest, but i am damn sure alot would

U have to provide the boxes (which have upc codes on them) and all of the packets from the box, none of the cards, just all of the other stuff, you also have to provide a brief letter of explination, but yeah im sure that people can rip them off, but to be honest if Topps hadnt ****ed up in the first place they would of saved all these issues

Congrats on getting some replacements there!

Sketch could have been cool, but they probably would have given you something shocking like a stick figure sketch. Autos are cool still!

I'm still waiting on an 04-05 Finest Red Ref Auto RC of Nenad Krstic, but that's another story, lol!!

Sucks that they are only sending out autos regardless of what hit you missed and they aint sending out an Larters or Vent.

Im waiting to see if a Takei auto shows up

yeah that does suck a little but not much u can do, they stuck to their word, but still would of preferred to have just had a chance at 18 random hits in the 2 cases i bought.

Topps has simply just pissed me off so much that I am thinking about getting rid of my volume 1 cards as well, as I dont think I will bother continuing with Topps products, so disappointing because I love the Heroes TV show and would of liked some descent cards.

Anyway, all of my volume 2 cards are up on ebay atm, these ones will be put up soon as well, all starting at .99c no reserve check out the ones up atm as they finish in less than 24hours

Great to read you got replacements man!
Kudos to Topps for doing it at all!

Yeah the editor of Topps, David Waldeck, actually posted on other forum saying that Topps will guarantee to make up the missing cards in the dud boxes as they initially guaranteed on their sell sheets that there would be at least 1 hit per box and at least 1 hot box (2 hits) per case and they also guaranteed that there would be equal ratios of autos/sketch/costume cards in each case, of which the 3 guarantees, none of them were even close to being accurate

Its good on their part to live up to their guarantee but even so it shouldnt have happened in the first place, as from what I hear its been happening in a lot of their products and they cant seem to fix it, so until they do I will just buy stuff on ebay and trade if I want them, its like 100 times cheaper

Topps did Autograph redemptions in the recent UFC set, then months on they still have not sent out some of the auto's. I can only assume that they are having trouble getting them signed??
Topps seem quick to make promises, but struggle to keep them?
