Topps has to start doing better w/ QC. The centering on all releases this year is atrocious. Base cards...whatever. Low numbered parallels need serious love. Most low numbered stuff Im seeing across Topps is barely 80/20 much less 70/30. Its awful!

Yeah, about the only thing that has tainted this product for me. Several nice low-numbered hits but all severely O/C. Probably 60/40. The Wanders in Finest Flashbacks were just atrocious but I did hit one nicely centered.

I’m sure that with increased capacity and investment in technology that grading standards are about to get much easier, again.

I'm also noticing Topps must have used the same "chrome" printer as 2010... some of these cards are already about bent in half coming out of the pack.

Quality will worsen until revenue takes a hit. No reason for Fanatics to spend more for better quality when it sells regardless.

Got 10 boxes from topps.com thanks to heads up from this forum on availability. This was in box 7. I was initially thrown off because the first Logofractor pack only had 4 cards and no parallel. This was in Logofractor pack number 2 along with a blue. Nothing to speak of in the base packs.

Thought mine was coming today. Turned out to be my Gallery monster.

Now I have to wait another day while prices go up higher.

Opened 3 today. Here are my hits. 3 more on the way. The regular chrome packs were garbage which was expected. Best was a Cruz rookie.

Opened the first 6 of my 10.

Autos: Gil
Color: best was Ohtani Gold (sold for $380 and immediately regretted it - I like collecting key cards from seasons I consider to be fairly historic so I'll place a premium on Judge, Pujols and Ohtani 2022 from certain releases).

Wander and Wander plaque rounded out the key "hits"

Do not regret selling a raw Ohtani gold ref for $380. Laugh all the way to the bank.

Saturday imagination:
I pull the Julio Rose Gold on Monday, then immediately book a flight to Newport Beach for Premium* (1/2/3) service. Three business days of cold sweats, no sleep, and heartburn are spent pacing the hallway like an anxious father-to-be, waiting for the proverbial bubblegum cigars and balloons announcing "It's a 10!"

Hospital bills abound, I'd then orphan the priceless fruit of my non-labor, telling a heart-soaring story twinged with the taste of lingering lifelong regret. I insist that I'll always have the HQ scans and the memories, though.

I'll see everyone on Monday. 😅

More like you'll hit the Rose Gold and then it will get a 6 like the Jasson papadopolous...

My dream has suddenly become a nightmare!

Just kidding. It's not going to be the first or last graded 1/1, but I can't think of a justifiable reason against encasing it as "Authentic" without a number grade. Definitely clearing the grading costs, and transferring the risk of secondary value to the next buyer. Foolish? Mayhaps. Leaving money on the table? Very probably. But could a 10 base Logofractor be valued higher than the Rose Gold?
