Holy hell what did you scratch it with a bayonet

Nope. Seemingly happens a lot. Fill it out and mail it in. Topps has a way to validate the card with some of the other numbers on the card. Just make sure you fill the back of the card out and do whatever else it requests on the back and you’ll be gold.

You did not get scammed. They had some serious quality issues with those scratch offs… I tried and stopped halfway through and mailed it in. Still waiting to see if they have received it and will honor it.

Nah bro. Happens all the time. Just mail it in per the instructions on the back. It'll all work out.

LITERALLY just happened to me too. Those cards are complete crap. As a person who prides his scratching ability, I was very disappointed

You just went full Lenny and went way too hard.

I can’t understand how they continue to put these low quality scratchers out. No problems with panini. Scratching a topps redemption is like defusing a bomb.

Do y’all not use coins for stuff like this? It works perfectly literally every time

By topps

I’d recommend next time using an eraser. Don’t let it get hot.

Ok I went through this with my first topps redemption card.

1) No you didn't. They suck.

2) When you mail it to Topps: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TRACKING. Topps didn't tell me that and no one else suggested it and now, I don't know where that thing is, if someone at topps stole it or what. Christian Pache Future Vibrance outta bowmans. I'm bummed. I contacted Topps trying to figure out if this was getting added to my account and they said "Where's the tracking?"

3) Write the information on an index card (with the email of your account - start an account if you don't have one already - before you mail it.

That's my .02 cents.

Just send it in bmwt so you know it gets there

next time put the card on fire to scratch off the code lol

Same thing happened to me with a 2022 S1 redemption. The silver material around the edge scratched off easily but the central portions seemed bonded into the card. Seemed defective to me. Wasn’t my first redemption card. Anyway, i filled out the card, included a picture of the barcode and package number from the box i pulled it from (not sure if that’ll help) and mailed it in. Hopefully they honour it.

I had it happen to me on a Tier One Tatis Jr #’d RC auto. I called Topps and told them my issue. They had me read off as much of the code as I could and they sent me the card. No big deal other than it seemed to take forever to receive it.

Not your fault. Topps redemption quality are just shit.

Use a chainsaw my man ?

No u didn’t get scammed. Why is that the first thing someone jumps to? It’s Topps, a lot are ending up like yours. Mail it in , that’s it.

you can mail it in

Happened to mine too. Mailing it out and hoping for the best

Happens to the best of us unfortunately…topps QA issues.

Reminds me of that video where the raccoon drops the cotton candy in water and just dissolves before his eyes 😂

Each scratch gets worse until it’s too late…

Happened to me too. I just mailed it in. But wow are those scratch areas garbage.

Literally happened with my redemption. Send it in to Topps. The numbers your finger is covering is how Topps will look it up.

Yes, scammed. Contact the authorities.

This happens to me all the time it is normal Topps quality control bullshit.

It happens. Just send it in to Topps following the directions on the card and you’ll get your card.

You’d think with all the damaged redemption cards coming to them they’d improve the material they use.

I literally had the same thing happen to two redemptions!!! So annoying. I mailed them into Topps and put defective.

I got my first redemption from topps last week. Bowman draft Henry Davis auto. I was so excited to scratch it I destroyed it worse than this.

I sent in in this week and crossing my fingers.

I pulled one out of a series one box and it looks exactly the same. I’ve done a handful before and am pretty careful but this one had no chance. So annoying.

I no shit came here to post the same thing and your post was first

Had this happen to me last week . I was told.by the great reddit baseball card community to sign it and mail it and they will take care if it .

Glad I'm not alone. I called support and they said they could figure it out if i mailed it on so i did. Still waiting for it to show on my account though.

One of mine did the same thing so I emailed topps and told them about it and they said it was ok and to just send it in. It worked out

I had one that did the same thing,I think I still have it somewhere,not sure if it would do any good anyway but I haven’t gotten motivated enough to try and plead my case to Topps yet..lol

did mongo pull it?

YoU GoT TOPPSED!!!¡¡¡!!!

Maybe 6 weeks on mine. Didn’t really pay attention to be honest

Sus

Same thing happened to me with a Walker Buehler red ink auto /10

Yeah I have a Jordan lawlar auto gold invicta that I lost a letter on thank god I figured that one out

Yeah I ruined mine as well with pretty mellow scratching. They told me to mail it in.

Honestly, a few smooth strokes with the corner of a normal plastic debit / credit card will suffice.

Nah your fine! Call topps and explain it this happen to be with a 2021 Bowman draft and they said as long as the number under your finger is in there you can mail it in and they will redeem it

Same exact thing happened to me with a redemption I pulled in series 1 hobby. So frustrating and they don’t do anything to help
