There are many worse ways to be remembered.

Went to buy todays cards direct from Topps direct at what I thought was a fairly early time....found the 2 card package deal to be sold out, so I purchased 2 lots from you on eBay.....might make it a habit.

I realized that once I got into these, I wanted to get a handful sooner than later, in hand so I'd have flexibility later on to make the 40 card thing work, and so I've now bought 48% of the way to 40 cards, with 16 of them part of the last 30 cards (I didn't start until early June, all at MSRP)

Here's where I'm at today, the first 7 "work" with the matching players and artists. The rest are a little random but it's a fun exercise to arrange them, even if just doing it in windows with screenshots.

Great first post friend, I'm not one of the 'moderators' but I'm glad you're here.

You gotta be quick!

I'm not even a Seattle fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing these side by side on my desk or wall:

Thank you!

I'll treat you right.

This confuses me, they're still available direct and can't sell out, only the APs can sell out

I email storehelp@topps.com and support@topps.com. I just did a submission on June 9, but haven't heard back yet.

I've seen others report that if you can prove that it would grade low with PSA, that they may consider giving you a replacement.

With that said, I would give it a try anyway. However, it may be a long wait.

You may be right.....I looked at the "SOLD OUT" notice that was under the 2 card package.....the notice may have applied to the AP underneath. No big deal....I saved a few $s, have received a welcome message from Matt and will now likely purchase directly from his website. Can't beat a better price, free shipping, + a rewards program.

You are joking right? That card is at BEST 80/20 off center

Oh for sure!

The tip of the brim is where the picture starts and not where the picture border is giving this card the feeling of being badly off center. While I don't have one of these cards in hand I would suspect if you measure the edge of the card to the tip of the brim of the cap it will likely be fairly close to the other side when you measure again from the edge of the card to the border. Perhaps I am wrong but I don't feel this is 80/20 OC as you say.

From my perspective, the second card you posted is the one that is OC but I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder.

I am so glad you took the time to look into what I was suggesting for the centering on this card to see exactly what I am saying before dismissing me. But why did I expect anything different.

The second picture is the perfect card Topps used on their website...

If that is how Topps envisioned the card, with the brim extending over the border than I would obviously agree that the card is off center. I have not been paying too much attention to this card and to my eye it was not O/C for the reasons I mentioned.

A super premium card should have high levels of quality assurance but I guess the printers feel something like this then is just good enough.

And thank you for not dismissing my opinion and welcoming a discussion.

The start was greeted with trepidation. Then more and more people came on board. The artists entered the thread like Caesar entering Rome. And then the wheels fell off. People turned against Blake for trying to make money (how dare he!). Money bears, fanny packs, companion cards. I enjoyed every post. And the gifs! There had to be at least 250 Salma gifs in the first 1000 pages. I watched the one of her clapping from beginning to end every. single. time. And if I missed the beginning, I watched it again. And then things changed. No more Mr. Wheeler pics. No more daily total updates. No more happiness.

And in the last 160 pages there have been 4 Salma gifs. Give or take none.

Every day we stray further and further from Salma.

I can't believe a few losers and pricks turn the thread so negative. I can't believe people where so nasty and negative towards Blake Jamison for doing his business his way. That man sent a bunch of Project boxes and a few cards he did for free.
