Dude. No way. That's obscene and incredibly awesome. Keep buying 10-packs!

I'm not a fan of the Mays either. He looks like he's 10 years old

Happy to help you out here! Send me a PM if you are not able to get these replaced from Topps.

You're a good dude, Eric. Efdot Eric, not TBP Eric. He's a good dude, too, he's just not who I'm referencing.

Taylor needs to do companions so I can buy them and support him since Topps is going to murder those (Mattingly) borders, too.

He posted in the Fb group a long time ago that he was considering a companion... hat. But, probably not companion cards. I'll gladly pick up one of his movie posters when this is all said and done.

Today's card is really something else, but yah, it would be very noticable if Topps makes it asymmetric with 65/35 centering. I was running a string of perfectly centered cards in undamaged cases, but both runs ended with my Rochester Gibson.

Did anyone get a Naturel Mattingly instead of the Siff Rickey that they ordered? Many complaints on Fb.

Agreed. I'm not super excited about tomorrow's Griffey: the background is too dark and doesn't have much detail. We'll see. Too bad he can't switch for Griffey's Score Traded or Bowman rookies.

Finally finished my Koufax design. My 11 year old was horrified that I was going to use a pencil and paper, so she's teaching me how to design and draw with acrylics on canvas. I'm pretty happy with the design (and she's proud of me!), but I have no idea how it's going to look once transferred and painted by me. I don't know if there was an expectation for completion date on these, so I hope I'm not holding anything up.

Here's a teaser:

I had one order from Topps shorted 5 cards (four different cards, 10-packs of each, player so order sent was 35 total, instead of 40 total). I got ahold of Topps and they were good about it and fixed it.

At least Topps is actually shipping the orders we buy. Seeing in some of the Facebook groups that people are having problems with Wheeler,.as they're still waiting on cards in the low 100s that Topps streeted a long time ago. Some of my collector friends haven't received anything from Wheeler. I was going to buy some earlier in September from Wheeler. Glad I didn't. Twins Jake part 2. Watch it be worse

Unless you're flipping, which, let's face it, isn't a thing with P2020 anymore, does it really matter?

Interesting to see how angry people get though. I guess it's an unfortunate sign 'o the times. We'd all be better off if we learned how to just BREATHE every once in a while.

Have you received even 1 order yet in the mail to see if its real or not? Angst starting on the Facebook groups about Wheeler not delivering what people bought.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

Just finished going through a few hundred cards. Happy to receive so many orders the last couple weeks.

That being said about 70% of all cards received are terribly off centered. A couple are cut diagonally. Figure I'll just start throwing them away and get some use out the mags. Trying to stay positive about this set, but its obvious Topps doesn't care.

Far bit of talk about Part III in my trading card set where I've collaborated and created an official trading card with Kyle Kuzma. For anyone that missed out theres some base cards available: http://shop.tysonbeck.com

All the Kyle Kuzma Autos, Metallic Parallels sold out within a couple of minutes. Appreciate all your support and comments about my set. Certainly trying to do things different and create actual official sports cards here that the athletes themselves are involved in.
