As you may know, Topps would issue redemption cards in their Baseball card packs for autographed cards that did not make it into their product in time for release. Oftentimes, this was because the player did not respond fast enough to Topps request.
Unfortunately, some of these players tasked with the duty of signing for Topps never respond, or respond years later. So, cards that Topps thought they'd have available become unavailable. As a consequence, Topps will replace that promised autograph with another autographed card, and they decided to make a special card set to satisfy those needs.
Below are three Dodger replacement autopgraphed cards that have been issued so far for the 2013 season. I am not aware of any others, but if you know of one I do not list below, please let me know.
I should also note that, from my understanding, you are not given a choice of what replacement cards you get. It is all random.
Johnny Podres
Duke Snider
Don Sutton
UPDATE: I just discovered another 2013 Topps replacement autogrpahed card. this time it's a triple autographed card featuring Duke Snider, Johnny Podres and Gary Sheffield.
