one time i sent in a sticker auto card beacuse it was put on so bad it looked horrable. They sent it back and said there was nothing defective about it. They will only replace things that are defective.

No. He is supposed to be in a Nats jersey. Topps wont replace it with a better team.

I opened two cases of draft a few years ago and the centering on every chrome card was 90-10. Topps will tell you that the card is within their quality standards if the entire image of the player is visible....and grading companies have brain washed collectors into thinking every card must be perfect.
However, if you continue to work your way up the ladder you will find someone that will replace the cards for you. Good luck.

Whoever QA'd the Chrome cards should be fired. I also received several that were all kinds of off center. All the others (base/etc) were centered just fine.
Will say my Strasburg Chrome was centered ok though.

And that's why the really good ones are called "Gem" Mint, and not "Dirt" Mint.

I will say that my dad worked in the printing industry and managed the first shift of a very large plant that printed manuals for IBM back in the 80's among other things.
For those of you to young to remember, computers in those days came with several instruction manuals about an inch or two thick. There was a lot of attention given to ensure every job was well-centered when cut before going to the bindery.
Given today's technology, I really don't understand how cards can't be cut within a 60-40 tolerance.

Oh, you know the reason: $
It's cheaper to put them out like they do, rather than spend the money on technology and employees to monitor the cards.

Bingo. And as long as people keep buying the product, there's no reason to change.

I opened 2 jumbo boxes and pulled one Strasburg chrome. Has terrible machine lines/scratches running down it! Also, the box was shorted one auto! Terrible quality control again Topps!

You're not the only one. I had one that was exactly that bad, and 2 others that weren't the best.
I think when he gets the call, I'm going to list them honestly and I bet they will still sell, since people will just want SOMETHING of his.

I FEEL YA!! I cracked a case last night (along with a case of beer to numb the pain) and one Stras' was cut like that (along with most of my base chromes) and one Stras' had a crease in the top... by far the worst case I have ever busted in my life. I got my stuff packed so hard I won't be able to crap for a week!!
Greed Kills... I should have sold the case... ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::
