If it's for a low end, print on demand product where they have to create the card and get it to the presses within 24 hours, I can almost understand it.
But when you're talking about a product line like Topps Dynasty where the cards are produced with big chunky patches and a nearly $600 per card price tag attached, I expect higher quality control.
Topps Dynasty is a beautiful set with 1 card per box release. Andrew had only appeared in the 2018 release prior to the most recent 2021 release.
His 2021 release features cards of him in the four uniforms he had played with this far into his career: Pirates, Phillies, Yankees, and Giants.
I set out to get one example of each variation and have gotten the 1/1 for his Yankees card along with images for Phillies and Giants.
I was EXTREMELY disappointed to learn that one of Cutch's most defining moments in his career was being mislead on the back of the card.
The front of the card features a great image of Cutch in his Giants gear, on card autograph, and a large chunky S from the Giants sleeve patch. It of course is housed inside a One Touch magnetic with the Topps Dynasty sticker holding the case together.
The back, while a nice design, is riddled with errors.
It makes no mention that the walkoff was a home run.
While still early into his Giants career, it was the 7th game that Cutch wore the black and orange NOT the 3rd.
Do you ever notice inaccurate statements on the backs of baseball cards? What are some that you've noticed of your favorite players?
That's quite disappointing to read all those errors in the high end product. Seems like it's time to clean house, or at least give them a good scare.
ReplyDeleteAs bad as it's been, I think it's only gonna continue to get worse.
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible. Unfortunately, not surprising.
ReplyDeleteAll too common!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've noticed an error on the back of a card before... especially while doing research for a post. However... none come to mind right at this very moment. I agree with you on a product like Dynasty though. I feel like they should always fact check their stuff... but double the efforts on a product like this.
ReplyDeleteThat's bad...there are lots of errors. On the 2000 MVP NASCAR set they totally jumbled the wording on the back of Boris Said's card. They even forgot what NASCAR's three main divisions were. I think they knew they were loosing the license and just didn't care.
