There is no severe weather in my area... very bizarre.
Emergency situation or severe weather.

Something else happened.

That would be great. It looks much better with texture.

The emery board look and texture -- it has glitter ink instead of the normal flat kind.

Topps probably stopped making them that way to cut cost.

Soto as a Yankee and Ohtani as a Dodger aren't on the checklist.

I'd reason to believe that those SSSSSSP Soto/Ohtani cards won't be found in ANY of the product that's shipping out now (aka. the Craptastic/Bottoms, pre-sales). That stuff had been LOOOOONG PRINTED/PACKAGED before either signed! Most likely to be found in the weeks/months, ahead. Perhaps...in many of the dozens of retail/national chain configurations. (OR,...more likely; through the backdoored, channel!!)

This would be true for a high print run card, but It would be easy for Topps to manually insert across the entire run of product ift hey are very short printed.

First of all, I don’t think Topps prints things quite as early anymore. Second, this is pretty standard, they’ve don’t his many, many times before.

Fanatics boss: I think this release might have some trouble selling. What can we do to improve this.
Employee: What's his face shehei oktani or something just signed with a new team.
2nd employee: Correct! And that One Sato just did it too.
Fanatics boss: You two are geniuses. Put on the website that there will be sssssssssssps of those two inserted into packs.
Employee: But sir, the product has already printed.
2nd Employee: correct sir, the product is already printed. I don't think that's good for business.
All Three: *laughs* similar to this

I'm in the commercial printing industry for 20+ years. BELIEVE ME!! A product/project on this scale takes...."more than a couple o' weeks".....to get to market. (NOTE: Soto signed 65 days ago; Craptastic boxes started shipping 3 days ago)

Also, where have I seen those photos before.

I had a feeling they’d sneak an sssp Ohtani in. I did not consider Soto.

Photoshopped cards are in almost every release.

90% or more of Bowman cards are photoshopped.

Mine said the same thing (shipping to Texas) so I hadn't checked on it lately and then a package just arrived.

Got my single hobby and jumbo!
