there was no email from topps confirming that they had received the redemption card. no notice that i was late sending it in. no substitute card a la the fleer/upper deck bankruptcy/buyout disappointment of a few years ago. no, they sent me the right card. very nice.
maybe i should rethink other expiration dates. i think there is some milk in the fridge with an august date on it. i think i'll give it a try.
here's to you, topps redemption man!
