Upper Deck Redemption Experiment

I broke down and did it. Im sorry. I bought a redemption for a Percy Harvin Ultimate Rookie Signatures cheap on eBay, despite my better judgement that the card may never be produced. Although April 19th is far off, and I have received confirmation that all rumors of players not signing out of protest are false, I still had some issues spending a lot of money on a redemption.


Regardless of my fears, I decided to take a calculated risk and try it out. I will keep you all posted on my results as the card should be awesome, if I get it.

If you remember back a few months, I did a post on all of my redemption experiences with the big three and Upper Deck had the best results, much to the surprise of many. I have never waited very long on a card that I ended up with, and the one replacement I have had was taken care of wonderfully.

Hopefully this one will turn out great.

  1. My issue with UD's redemptions were: Duke Snider Sweet Spot Classic - they didn't have it and I got a Rickie Weeks auto from Black instead? *boggle* and I had to wait forever to get my Wooly Mammoth tooth. Other than that, I had good experiences. Even better experiences when returning damaged cards.

    Good luck on that.

  3. When I redeemed my card from Upper Deck (Jrue Holiday jersey card) it took them less than a month to get it. So far they are good in my book.

  4. UD is garbage when it comes to redemptions and customer service.

  5. UD has done me pretty well as far as speedy response. I had a 08 SPA RC AU Patch for Flacco and Desean Jackson and they got back to me real fast. Hope it works out for you.

  6. I have been waiting for about 19 months for one redemption and about a year for the other. I will never buy another UD redemption again.

  7. I wouldn't sweat it. Most all of my 09-10 SP Game Used redemptions arrived within 2-3 weeks of redeeming them online. There seems to be only one left that is taking a while. I also redeemed a SPA Chris "Beanie" Wells and a Hakeem Nicks online a couple of weeks ago and UD says they're in the process of being shipped already. UD has always been good to me regarding redemptions. I think the longest I've ever waited has been four months, but that was for a 4 signature card of 4 retired football greats. Well worth the wait.
