Topps wants baseball fans as editors, but those dudes only see pre-production sheets, no finished product. They have an unofficial policy of NOT hiring fans to do final processes, as they may have stickier fingers.
That makes sense I guess.... that can go for any industry though... no one that works at a cigarette company smokes? No one that works at a candy plant likes sweets? I mean I get it but that only goes so far.
There is a BIG difference in looking out for a cigarette that resembles each and every one rolling off the line and looking out for 1/1s of prospects/stars yo.
Very true, good point. I agree with you, just the devils advocate in me had to throw it out there... I stand corrected. How do they "know" if someone is a fan or not though? I feel like I could hide that I'm a collector pretty well... I mean sh*t, some of my closest friends and family don't know I collect or know my involvement in the hobby LOL
They don't, and it is definitely an unofficial thing. They want baseball-nutty younger men working on the checklists/photos/final pre-pro details in NYC, but are happy to have elderly women work with the final product.
LOL!!! Hints the F-ups on something like this ::facepalm::
No joke. And no disrespect to the good people of Duryea, PA, as when I visited the factory there they couldn't have been nicer or more genuine. They just seemed a bit old and certainly didn't seem like sports people, which I think Topps does by design.
