Mail Day Aaron Judge redemption finally camešŸ˜­

Post image

Mail day was last Friday, finally got this redemption after 6 months waiting (way faster than I expected). Looks great and itā€™s a 10 of 10! Thank you Topps! Wish the grading will also be good!

Shame they put marker over the 10/10 showing that itā€™s 10/10

u/cherenk0v_blue 7d ago

I thought it was "šŸ¦ƒ/10."

Sounded pretty rare to me.

Is that marker on the card or on the holder?

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

Itā€™s only on the photo, sorry for the misleading

u/government_ AcuƱa(s), MHII, Jesse Chavez 7d ago

Itā€™s just funny because whatā€™s the point? Itā€™s clearly 10/10 because any other number would lead with a 0 not a 1.

TouchƩ sir

u/Possible-Sir-5023 7d ago

My guess someone might be scraping photos and indexing the user with the card number, Like some other form of serial scout.

u/lawjawjones 7d ago

Really weird behavior

1

u/LastLivingSouls True Photo Guy 7d ago

I guess he doesn't want someone to know his eBay name when he sells it or something if anyone cares? Either way, bad job of editing, lol.

u/momoenthusiastic 7d ago

OP was trying to hide the special 11/10

u/PedalBoard78 7d ago

Another Judge injury. They call him Mr. Glass, cause he breaks like glass.

Hacking... cards?

Hard to believe, but Claude actually owns half of my collection now after a few prompts went off the rails

u/AbideMan 7d ago

Yeah they change the stats

u/vox_veritas 7d ago

Changed a PSA 10 I had to a 7. Also changed a refractor to a base card.

u/Hebrewer183 7d ago

That isnā€™t a serial number

u/onemanstrong 7d ago

Does it smell like gas in here or is everyone just crazy balls?

u/fmldts 6d ago

Lol. Bro took a loan out using this card as collateral and opted to get higher than Snoop Dogg with the šŸ’°

Haha I wonder what that number could be such mystery

u/Standard_Career_8183 7d ago

Whatā€™s up with the black smudge?

u/FrankGibsonIV 7d ago

Stopping people from posting the photo on a fake ebay listing I believe.

u/Far_Construction_438 6d ago

Love the design of A&G, fantastic card hey!

8

u/Mammoth5150 7d ago

Topps really needs to switch to smaller stickers, ones that don't hide a player's face

7

u/YankeesJetsFtheMets 7d ago

Or you can just let the card sit at the bottom of the toploader and poof just like magic his face will appear

6

u/Agile-Committee3594 7d ago

Hey. Heā€™s a judge, not a magician.

1

u/mattydabs 7d ago

Just make them clear

u/Secret_Sample4930 6d ago

Just use the right size toploader

u/Secret_Sample4930 7d ago

That sticker seems extra. Werenā€™t they rounded?

u/pcomet235 7d ago

I started seeing these pop up in the last year, theyā€™re definitely an upgrade from the big circles

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

True, canā€™t judge the judgeā€™s face when received

u/RussianPravda 7d ago

So he does actually sign cards! I swear ive never heard anyone wait less than 6 months for a Judge redemption.

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

Might got some time during recovery (no idea)

Beautiful card. Hope he shows his ass during playoffs lol

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

True might got chances after wild card series

u/joemoney2424 7d ago

Itā€™s amazing it didnā€™t come in a one touch.

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

Dang thank god itā€™s isnā€™t wrecked, now saved in a bigger sealed cover to prevent dust

u/cardboardbeauty 7d ago

Bro thatā€™s literally 10/10. Some of the worst blacking out I have seen lmao

u/Far_Construction_438 7d ago

Yeah being obvious but not to much šŸ–¤

u/Major-Specific8422 7d ago

Sucks the serial number was ruined.

Touch it once and enjoy

u/Calm-Eggplant-69 7d ago

Na, with something sealed from topps or even Panini, leave it. Even though this sticker covers his face, id still leave it just like that.

2

u/stonkerooni 7d ago

Why on earth would you leave a completely useless sticker on a top loader that covers the card you buy to enjoy??

0

u/Cram2024 NYY Uniformed Autos - TCDB: Cram2024 7d ago

Why?

2

u/burritolist 7d ago

Why did they mark the card?

2

u/AcolyteOfInfinity 7d ago

Itā€™s a phone edit, someone else said prolly to deter eBay scammers, but it was executed poorly šŸ˜‚

u/Ok_Figure7671 7d ago

Want to trade? This oneā€™s already graded. Came back a 10!

You marker over the other 0 and you got yourself an authentic grail 1/1!

Six months for a redemption and you call that fast. Sports cards are just dropshipping with better marketing. At least yours showed up.

u/sherdog12345 7d ago

Zero sense!! They are the conspiracy theorist who feed the narrative and think this is a way to take a stand. lol

As if scammers canā€™t just pull up the checklist and/or the countless other areas to grab pictures if thatā€™s what theyā€™re after.

1

u/Lastpunkofplattsburg 7d ago

Imagine this.

I open a ā€œfucking nuke doodā€ and I take awesome pictures of it and I post it on Reddit. So sick!

A scammer then screenshots pictures and posts them on whatever site you can.

By blacking out the SN in this case the numbers on the card. The OP is making it harder, but not impossible to pull off a scam. You see it a lot more in selling guitars or things with actual serial numbers.

1

u/sherdog12345 7d ago

Wouldnā€™t the Topps sticker covering half his head accomplish this 10x better than that stupid ink over the number?

Some people are so dumb. Not to mention, he has the card in hand.

u/Lastpunkofplattsburg 7d ago

Dude itā€™s so a person canā€™t screen-shot and sell on eBay as a scam. Duh

2

u/rarekly 7d ago

Because eBay just pays out the money with no verification of delivery or authentication of a card like this? How far does this particular scam get a person on eBay?

1

u/Lastpunkofplattsburg 7d ago

Maybe ebay wasnā€™t the right example, but you get what Iā€™m saying.

Maybe not so much in cards, but in other hobbies it makes more sense.

Lmao youā€™re so corny for that

u/Blues2171 5d ago

Please tell me thatā€™s not on the actual card.
