Topps Replacement

For the longest time I had been waiting on an outstanding Vance McDonald redemption from 2013 Bowman Chrome.  The redemption was for the short print variation which showed the player in his pro NFL uniform.

Without any notice, I received replacements in the mail from Topps.  I guess they had finally decided to give up on attempting to get the cards signed from Vance McDonald.

Here are my replacements.

I'm actually thinking that this is a slight upgrade.  Vance McDonald hasn't been a huge impact for the 49ers.  Instead of his autograph, I now have the autograph of A.J. McCarron who is the backup QB for the Cincinnati Bengals and who played well pretty well in 2015.

The Nick Foles jersey is just a bonus from Topps.  I appreciate the bonus, but it's a pretty worthless bonus.
