My Request # was 30862

No I was told that some of these were damaged and I would have to have a replacement for my card. I said that was fine and I understand that these things happen well I gave a list of players I collect and such and I got this as a replacement:

First off to say this is disappointing is a major understatement. Basically instead of getting a Auto/Patch/10 from the very high end product of National Treasures I get a Insert auto /100 from the lowest end product you have . I only collect Donruss/Panini because they have always been so good with their redemption's and then this happens. I have received the Wells auto/100 and would just again like to say that I am really upset with the low ball replacement. I should of at the very least got something numbered 25 and autoed to make up for missing out on a product from the very high end National Treasures. I will return this Wells auto and would like to have a replacement that has alot more thought and effort put into it. thank you for your time and I look forward to fixing this issue-Charles Bain
 
Good luck hope they dont stiff you anymore.

we will see. I think this was just an oversite and that they will see my point of view. I know Doucett is not a big name or nothing but it is a National Treasures Patch/auto/10 so that should count for something in all of this. Also Beanie Wells could be a good player but as of right now he is not much of an upgrade over a Doucett. I am not trying to take anything from Wells I think he will be a good Hb in the NFL but we have not even seen him suit up yet and it is not a big enough upgrade to justify the downgrade in my card. I will keep everyone informed I am sure this will get fixed up soon though.
 
I think my Doucett auto patch #/10 sold for about $40. Live.

Seems about right was it National treasures? I paid 50 or so for the redemption. These Wells cards are selling for about 16-20 on ebay I would of been happy if it would of been his elite auto or a rookie auto instead of an insert. We will see normaly I would not make a big deal about it but I have not collected much in a long time so this could very well be my only newer card I get besides the group buy stuff.

Yes, it's too bad I didn't know that it was going to become a short print!!! lol!
 
Here is the response they just gave me :

Hi Charles,
Return the Chris Wells card and we will start over with the replacement. A couple packs of product will be included with the replacement for the inconvenience. Thank you and we truly apologize.
