Yep, another half A$$ job by Topps. How do you f'up a first round draft pick. I could understand a 14th rounder, but a 1st rounder. Shows how little Topps cares about people who buy their product.

I was going to collect his stuff...

Not these ::facepalm::

Thats why I like Leaf.

Yeah, I saw Texas on the checklist they released last week and thought it was just a misprint...sad that they probably had 3-4 people proof these too...

thats quite a shame topps screwed that up. i feel bad for all the twins collectors.

It absolutely baffles me how Topps can let this happen. A simple search shows all the draft picks, and who drafted them. I will be more than happy to help Topps out by checking the card mockups before they go to press for free. What the hell are they doing over there? Also, with the "1st bowman chrome" cards. Oswaldo Arcia has a card in 2011 bowman, and 2011 bowman chrome that both say 1st chrome. Can they not even remember a card they released earlier that year!? This is just stupid. Topps get your **** together, you're screwing up in the most obvious way, and creating a crappy experience for collectors. I was excited to buy Levi RC's, but not now. Also some of the regular draft cards have facsimile autos, and the chrome versions of the same card do not. Consistency makes collectors happy, mistakes don't. I'll be sure to check the 2012 bowman prelim checklist and forward the teams and which players had a previous card to topps.

So the jersey is photoshopped then?

Yes, uniquebaseballcards.




In all seriousness, this would be devastating for me, if one of my guys was not depicted in the uniform the the player was drafted in. I was pretty worried that would happen with Kyle Parker; he was listed on the CL as being with the Seattle Mariners.

Wow.. so much for picking up some of his stuff.

 

[Junior Griffey]

At least he doesn't have two cards in the same set, an auto pictured with 1 team and a non auto with his current team. Unless there's 2 different players named Brandon Guyer.

Most of them are, Jim.

That was the same thing I was thinking.

I'm just going to ignore all of the above quotes so my perception will remain pure and unsullied. I'm not waking up.
