Did this (2010 BC) ever happened to you before?

Morning...

I bought and opened 5 2010 Bowman Chrome boxes at home this morning. Will show you all the scans in other thread. Anyways, the last box I opened didn't come out with an autographed card, so I went back to the pile of cards to check. And guess what? I found this:

Absolutely no AUTOGRAPH! Back of this Williams card was clearly bend (look closely at the bend line across from the low-middle left side to 'AB'). I have a feeling that a Topps professional decided to move it away from Williams himself and mistakely put it in the pile for packaging?

What should I do now? Get back to my LCS or call Topps?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Bobby

I'd just give Topps a call and tell them. I know I've heard a lot of horror stories about their customer service but I've found if you just call them, explain the situation, and are polite about it, they are great and help you out. I wouldn't bother with the LCS as really, it wasn't his doing at all anyway.

BTW-Any good shops up around the Baltimore area?

You need to check the Baseball Card Outlet off Eastern Ave near Dundalk (between 695 and 895). Ask for either Dave or Scott (the owner). Website is http://www.bbcoutlet.com/

Tons of wax and tons of memorabilia.

Thanks for the advice. I will probably talk to Dave and he will do the job for me.

It doesn't say "certified autograph issue" or whatever they say on top of his name so you were just shorted an auto in the box. That Williams was NOT meant to be auto'd. It's just a regular chrome card.

I believe it's supposed to be auto'ed. Usually the base card would have an imprint silver auto - just like the other bowman chrome base cards...

So I will just tell Topps two ways - either shorted or an error non-autographed card. I am sure Topps would understand and send me one without any problems.

Or I am just plain wrong! ::facepalm::

Does that ever happened to you before when you get shorted?

matfanofold · Nov 6, 2010

In your box break thread, you busted 5 box's and got 5 auto's, no?

Yes, I did - 5 autos in 4 boxes... An auto should be in every single boxes, or not?

He got a USA auto in one of his boxes, which is an extra. In one of his boxes, he didn't get a chrome auto.

I believe you got shorted an auto and the williams is just a base rc.

That is what I thought when I read the thread.

Sorry Bobby.

The autos have a silver gradient at the bottom of the card for the player to sign in.

None of the Hechavarrias have a facsimile autograph either on his base chrome card.

I pulled the base Hechavarria and pulled an autographed Hechavarria in the same box.

So basically, he was shorted an auto and the Williams does not have a facsimile autograph.

Grant Green out of 2010 bowman doesn't have an silver facsimile auto on his.
