3 boxes of Star Wars Chrome Perspectives

This was horribly depressing to flush $270 down the drain on what is ultimately $50 worth of cards. This is likely my last purchase in the hobby as a whole (including baseball and hockey too).

Wow that's terrible. Sorry to see that.
Where did you buy the boxes from? BO?

Went into the Fantastic Store (BO's brick and mortar store) and bought the last boxes.

I'm so so sorry, man. Topps will give you something if you go through their claims process. You will have to submit your receipt, box numbers and UPCs. It's a pain, but I've done it a few times and have always gotten replacements. I've also noticed based on personal and anecdotal evidence that the more polite you are increases your chances of replacements that aren't completely awful. Biting back your anger can be tough though. Am I nuts, or did the sell sheets guarantee a hit besides a medallion?

I have never had any luck with this, I'm just quitting the hobby entirely.

David, very sorry to see this. I'd def' go thru the claims dept at Topps tho. It was quite a hassle a year or two ago, but they did send me a nice sketch after jumping thru all their hoops.

Don't know how much it helps but you did get a short print in there.
