You rip open a pack and you've got a hit in the middle in the pack too! You thumb through the cards only to hit a redemption card. They are a necessary evil in the hobby -- the player hasn't returned their autographs in time for the packing process at the manufacturer.  But it's a downer for the collector, a card that you won't receive for weeks, maybe months, possibly years, if ever. Who knows when it will actually arrive, or what the manufacturer may substitute in its place? Here are the redemption cards I'm currently waiting on:
