UD Replacements? Thoughts please

spphill5 · Apr 27, 2010

Hey guys,

Got these in today, pretty disappointing on face value. Just after some opinions on whether I was dudded or not.

This is the redemption i claimed in November last year

They stated it was out of stock and a replacment would be organised. I managed to track the redeemed card down on ebay, cost me US$80, i think the original redemption card was about the same, i have seen them go as high as US$150.

I received these 2 in the mail today as replacements (5 months later)

I think i was screwed

To me Jefferson and a high numbered low end player RC doesn't equal KG, or a dual that won a championship together...... Maybe i'm over reacting

Thoughts and opinions very welcome

Cheers :v:

yeah the pierce is a nice low number but jefferson aint no KG. Once again the Lopez card is nice and he will be a good player but still no KG. Although i suppose with UD you just have to be happy with any replacement

aussiemjfreak · Apr 27, 2010

It's hard to say... On player value I think you got dudded! But then they would take the Low numbering of the Pierce/Jefferson into account where as you probably didnt care about it... UD are sp up and down with there replacements!!!!

Damm!! I saw UD replacement...then the Black Flag and I had high hopes for the VC/T-MAK dual

I actually like the original card more the /50 looks the part

evilhomer74 · Apr 27, 2010

Well, personally I wouldnt be happy in the slightest with that dude. A low numbered replacement yes, but a high numbered Lopez & low numbered Jefferson over KG? Please.

Agreed.

The way I see it, the PP & KG is PC worthy. The other 2 cards are destined to jump on the eBay rollercoaster for the next 5 years, until they get so dented & bashed from multiple posting & careless packaging that someone finally tears them up in frustration.

I believe I have a redemption replacement at home waiting for me for a 2008/09 Exquisite auto patch of Marc Gasol /8 which I was absolutely spewing they didn't honor. I have a bad feeling i'm not gonna be happy

Clarifying question needs to be asked... were you asked what players/teams you liked and did you mention Garnett anywhere? If not then I think it's a perfectly reasonable replacement, especially if you said you like Pierce.

My gripe here, if it's a redemption card and numbered out of 50 and they have actually made it, how the hell can they not have it to have been able to give to you??

I asked the same thing when i emailed them about the exchange last November, this was their reply:

I will enter comparable value replacement for your card.

A lot of the time we send out 50 cards and we sometimes only get a partial shipment back from the athlete.

Sometimes the athlete keeps some or some get damaged in transit.

A comparable value exchange will be assessed.

I was asked about a player or team. I didn't request a player but product i collect, as i know upper deck have some of my PC hunts stashed away somewhere. I asked for 06-07/07-08 Sweet shot product, 08-09 radiance or 07-08 SPA Chirography Gold /25. They sent 2 cards of product i don't collect, one would assume out of 4 product lines i requested, they would have found something?

I have another 8 pending redemptions, including 3 durant auto's, i think i have more chance of Durant actually signing his UD redemptions than getting decent replacements.

If i ask for replacements on my outstading redemptions, i have a feeling the storm will be winning premiership points before i actually receive a spud webb replacement

gold!

I'd be a bit pissed on that for a replacement Scott, i say contact UD and get up them as thats not what you asked for.

As for Durant i think you may be onto something, i've seen a few redemptions for Durant get redeemed the past 2 days so here's hoping for us

Ersk · Apr 27, 2010

No where near as good a replacement.

loafic · Apr 27, 2010

def got dudded scotty... sorry dude

kingjack · Apr 27, 2010

Preety sweet mailday mate!

postgsl · Apr 27, 2010

My thought is that UD could have done a lot better.

Has anyone actually sent replacements back and told UD not good enough try again

Might look into it, cheers for the suggestion

Maybe you could hand deliver it for me

adhunt99 · Apr 27, 2010

Yeah you got shafted, not majorly, but shafted a bit

ace e · Apr 27, 2010

I see the logic, KG and RJ sigs look the same

If ur a PP collector than a dual auto /10 is a huge win and Lopez is trimmings.

If ur a KG collector than ur spewin.

As a set collector you will probably be fuming.

In terms of value, its hard to say, but if ur posting this Q then u must not be happy.

smc2910 · Apr 27, 2010

Fail there by UD

No harm in shooting a message their way, can only say yay or nay.

GarnettFan4Life · Apr 28, 2010

KG/PP on card dual/50 > Lopez + RJ/PP even if it was a 1/1 imo
not totally worked over, but they gave you a bit of a feel up............

good_old_bball · May 1, 2010

personally mate i think upper deck have given u a bad deal. honest. i had the exact same card in my redemptions with them, finally ended up asking for a replacement, and when they did send me the card, this is what i got:

big difference than ur lopez and jefferson Black dual au. looks like theyve kept the same theme goin with the usa dual au's, but man they gave u probably the last of their usa dual auto stocks. etj85 wouldnt been rapt if they gave u one of the vc/tmac duals, he's chasing them and already has 3. speak to upperdekc and file a dispute case against the cards u got, and fight it. cos im pretty sure you have a good case, even use my case as a comparison example when u do speak to them. cheers buddy

ps. i got the tmac/vc dual au and still i wouldve preffered something else (compared to what i was initially ment to get). i wanted something KG and celtics atleast still. so i just called them and filed my disupte against the replacement i got (tmac-VC). see how u go, u got nothign to lose.

Thats a good looking card

If you end up getting a replacement, hope for this and i'll take it off your hands no question

UltimateDeron · May 2, 2010

I wouldn't be happy with that replacement at all. I would call them and ask for Nick. He is the guy giving everyone awesome replacements lately.
