Centering is a big-time issue, especially the reverse-side centering. In some cases, it's just unbelievable.
The cards themselves are super-sharp, though. I've encountered a good bit of a dull cut on more than few base, which leads to shady edges.
That's about it.

A lot of autos seem to have fingerprints on them too. I noticed that on mine. Going to have to wipe all my cards!

I think they are VERY hit or miss. I have talked with a few guys that said most of their autos were REALLY BAD.
I would say mine were half and half gradeable and not....

Hmm i only opened one box (so small sample size) but everything seemed perfect (centering, scratches, corners, edges etc) except one card with massive bubble haha.

My main issue was centering and print dots on most them. I kinda have a feeling BGS 9.5 or PSA 10 will be getting some good coin

Only busted a few packs and looked at a bunch at card show. So small sample. Overall typical Bowman Chrome. Most have minor scratches, that still get 9.5 on good days. Seen quite a few soft a soft corner. Those will pull 9 most of time, few sneak in for 9.5. A few were bad, lots scratches and dinged corners. But not too many. Centering can be hit or miss. A lot of 60-40 still can get the 9.5 with those.

gvsu96 and I's case was filled with a lot of minor defects, but nothing that seemed like a continuing pattern, or horribly bad centering.
My Teheran refractor I auto (that I pulled later) had an interesting one. It looks like the ink did not cure properly on the sheet, then stuck to the one below it. Then the stock ripped a little when they got un-stacked for the "chrome-ing" process. So the rip was under the chrome. Wish I scanned it before I sent it back to Topps.

I submitted some of my cards today for grading. I'll let you guys know how they come back.

yeah, it seems that the more "metallic" surface that the chome cards have this year leave them prone to scratching easier.

Also in years past, you've been able to have your fingers on the card to squeeze it or sturdy it to wipe it down. I STRONGLY advise AGAINST that this year. I recommend laying the card on a flat, hard surface and wipe it down that way using your opposite hand to steady the card with a microfiber cloth.

In hand, you can barely see this, but in a scan, ::facepalm:: . How much you think this card is worth?

QC might have been awful but is that a bad thing? This allows for better value of nice cards. In past years it seemed like all cards are PSA/BGS 9 or better so why grade them? Premiums for good cards will benefit the prospector imho.

Those scratch lines look like Topps Chrome from awhile back...'08 I think. I found that some disappeared after a good polish.
