Default One of the STUPIDEST things I've ever seen Topps do...
Is put a LIVE auto of someone in a 2012 release who still has UNSIGNED redemptions from the previous year in the SAME RELEASE:

2011 ginter mcenroe | eBay

2012 allen ginter John McEnroe Autographed card | eBay

Despite agreeing, this is actually kind of funny. I have no idea why.

Maybe people can request the 12 auto for their unfulfilled 11 redemptions?

It's better to keep people waiting then to have to spend money on shipping more redemptions. This makes sense (to Topps) if he is only signing a certain amount.

Damn, I'm still waiting on my 2011 red McEnroe auto, wonder if they've gotten him to sign those yet? Last I heard they were in the framing process. Geez.

Because if he ever signs thats why topps has 3 years to redeem something.

I'm actually surprised the Kate Upton auto isn't a redemption

I just piseed they are recycling non-player relics/autos.

Esp Macenroe two years in a row! That is stupid
Michael Phelps- was in 2009 Ginter- thoug Phelps does not look short printed this year, I see a bunch on ebay already
I am almost positive Jerry Bailey had an auto in 2006 or 2007
I am sure there are others, I jsut have not looked at the list yet.
Besides the stupid Balloon Boy, I have not seen too many way off beat relics show up which is nice for a change. getting too crazy is too crazy
