Hey Carlos, same with my Kobe performance clause, its been 1 year and almost 2 weeks since!

Good news: Upperdeck replied to my email yesterday.
Bad news: It said this, "We are still awaiting a signature from Kobe on this piece."

I'd say we are both in the same boat, up a creek and without any paddles!

chadjaja · Dec 28, 2006

Could be worse. You could of got Luke Walton auto sent to you instead of waiting. Just how long does it take to get a sheet of stickers signed??

If it has a sticker thats shithouse. If it doesn't then its almost worth the wait.

ScottE · Dec 28, 2006

Atleast you got a reply, I've been waiting on my Bracey Wright auto for over 12 months and there has been no answer to several emails. The status is autos in house but production has been delayed.

Want to send the Kobe Bryant my way then Carlos?

WoobieZarz · Dec 28, 2006

I was thinking that exact same thing Jim. lol.

Man 1 f-cking year is pathetic!

If they plan on producing a card then you shouldnt have to wait till the following year's cards are out. It's not like it's a Redemption Rookie.

The Truth · Dec 28, 2006

Still waiting on my Pierce Trilogy auto/jersey from UD. It's been in the process of shipping for a good 5 months so far. They emailed me back telling me that was a mistake and the cards haven't even been signed yet. There's rumours Paul won't be signing apparently aswell.
Got in a argument with the redemption guy over email, I told him to let me know what he could send as a replacement because I knew UD wouldn't like my alternative auto/GU choices. Then he basically tells me I get whatever they send me if I ask for a replacement and that's it! Freakin ridiculous!
So I gave him my 4 options anyway, Larry Bird/Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant/LeBron James lol! Then he told me I better just wait for the Pierce card because he told me I couldn't return it if I didn't like the replacement.

I also just sent in my smudged Ultimate rookie auto for replacement along with a choice letter about UD quality control for a high end product, lets see what happens with that one!

DGCollectables · Dec 28, 2006

Im on 5 months and counting for my Frye/Starbury auto redemption.

bargey · Dec 28, 2006

I've got 7 redemptions and a UD Black, the oldest is from June this year.

All say that "Athlete commited to signing, please be patient" crap.

wolvesjr34 · Dec 28, 2006

I think redemptions are wrong. I think they should ONLY sell cards they have. Because with redemptions they are constantly breaking a contract they enter into by providing a redemption - because they rarely ever provide the card specified and/or an equal replacement. In fact surprised some american has not sued them for misrepresentation.

I completely agree. Not only is it frustrating for people who are in the know and are able to e-mail appropriate departments, but imagine how disechanting it would be for some kid who pulled what he thought was a great card, only to be shafted like this? It'd make you not want to collect at all.

HOLY SH*T that is not nice Hope you get them soon guys !

JZA · Dec 29, 2006

i think redemptions are still useful for rookie stuff but for things like a kobe auto, thats BS. they should tell kobe (for example), "heres the cards/sticker sheet, sign em and have it done by a certain date". this 'athlete commiteed to signing, be patient' crap is ridiculous.

thepurplegothicchicken · Dec 30, 2006

Problem is, the players (ones like Kobeeeeee *sarcasm*) think they are worth the wait, and will make you wait, as well as the company they are signing for.

Maybe if some of you guys had chicks bits he'd be more than happy to sign, maybe even his phone number

But also, on a serious note. It is stated on some products I have seen, that redemptions cards are in the boxes, so it isn't really a misrepresentation on the company's behalf. If you don't want redemptions, don't buy the product.

In my eyes, with all Fleer redemptions, it's proof of something you could of had. Not that you probably would of gotten it anyway, but still.

It's like a contract really. 'Bust the wrapper and you get what you get'. I do find redemptions frustrating, but, imagine if you bought a box of something and it came all mangled in the post and you had an awesome card in it, but it was all damaged?

I dunno. It's a very touchy topic really. Same with sticker autos etc. Those 'Patches' that don't even look like patches at all (one colour patch, WOW!).

It's all up to who is willing to wait, willing to get something else, and willing to be brave and make a stand.

chadjaja · Dec 30, 2006

Its not UD.

Its that dickhead Kobe. Laker scum. If he signed as chicken said it wouldn't be a problem :-D

I had to wait 6 months for a Mike Bibby coz he hadnt signed, i dont think he is worth the wait

Its not UD.

Its that dickhead Kobe. Laker scum. If he signed as chicken said it wouldn't be a problem

DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!

What makes it ****ing worse is Upper Deck HQ is in California. How ****ing hard can it be to drive up the highway to LA and get the shit signed. Probably take them one phone call to his agent to get sorted. Lazy ****s.
I've got 5 redemptions incoming, the 6th one shipped the other day. I asked for a replacement for an Antoine Wright Trilogy auto, I said "any Auto of Travis Outlaw from a comparable product". Was told it would take 6 to 8 weeks to ship, and in the 7th week it shipped. Can't wait for it to show up and to be a Martynas Andriskiviciuiosko auto, they will get a ****ing earful then.

I already emailed them asking why my 3 Hardcourt Redemptions haven't been filled yet (Bargnani, Marcus Williams, Chauncey Billups), seeing all 3 have had sticker autos produced that are live in products made since Hardcourt was released, and given the Hardcourt RC Autos are the exact same as the base design so those cards would have been produced and are just awaiting stickers.
