Unless I'm mistaken, those are the same names as Metal.

Hmmm....thought they'd change it up.

BG told me the reason why there are SP's in the parallels is because a few of them were rejected due to damage.

Wish I could have bought more than 1 box, but at least I'll get a chance at some decent stuff. Hopefully BO can get it to me fairly quickly

I'm glad they pull the cards. Relatively speaking, I don't see how they could have more QC than Topps or UD.

The SP news seems to say the opposite of this, as they're taking the cards out prior to release. Consumers won't receive damaged cards. Seems like good QC to me.

i guess a lot of it has to do with when the cards were damaged. a 400 case print run shouldnt present a lot of issues one wouldnt think. Now, if the cards are being damaged by the player or post printing, thats a different story

Sounds like damages occurred between the player and transportation back to Leaf.

Exactly. As opposed to Topps, which inserts all the cards in crappy condition into packs. Then if you try to get them replaced, they send you replacements that are actually in worse condition than the ones you sent in.
