There is no severe weather in my area... very bizarre.

Emergency situation or severe weather.

Something else happened.

It looks like an insert -- the design is too flashy for flagship. But the black border is the best fit for the design.

I’m really digging the team colors, I had no idea they would be like that!

Is it a flat black? I’d love if they brought texture back.

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!!)

Ohtani doesn’t have a base card, interesting

Another Hidden Gem fiasco?

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.

[Seitas]

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!
