Thanks everyone for the input, I'll give it awhile longer...How does the replacement service work, do you call them and they go over reccomended ones they have at the "perceived" equal value? 

If you decide to go with a replacement, you should absolutely call them to talk through the options.  Otherwise they just pick a card that they percieve to be of the same value.  If you talk to somebody, you can at least try to get a certain team or maybe even player.

As for Benintendi, it shouldn't take too long.  If its from Series 1, the card may already be available as I know he did some stuff since Series 1 (I had a 2017 Update Benintendi card that came over the summer).  You can check past Redemption Reports that are posted on the Topps Blog to see if your card is already filled.

I can still blame the card company. They are the ones who awared a redemption thus promising a particular card. They aren't fulfilling their promise.

Side note here: thanks for the information in this thread. I just sent out an email to Cory for the redemption I have been waiting 2 1/2 years for.
