if unnumbered it was backdoored and not pack pulled

So, Topps has never let a card out without a serial # problem. LOL!

These sheets usually come backdoored from the printer so it it's very likely someone could get one in hand before the product even releases. Time frame doesn't really mean a whole lot in this situation.

Agree but, I feel this thread would have been started in Oct./Nov. 2012 instead of Dec. 2012 if a sheet had been cut that early.

Do you have another 2012 Super to compare it to?

I only own one (a 2010), but it's easy to tell the difference. The backdoored Super is poor quality and looks hazy.

I do a 2012 Bow Chr Motte Super with 1/1 and have compared them every which way (Size, edge cut, gloss) and do not see a difference except for the missing 1/1.

I own the Carlos Gonzalez 2012 Bowman Chrome Superfractor. It has the 1/1 serial # on the back. Yours is a backdoored issue.

Call me stubborn or hard headed LOL but, until I see one with the serial numbering on it I am going with this is the actual 2012 Bow Chr Yadier Molina Superfractor. So, if someone has one with numbering I would like to see a scan to prove me wrong. Thanks! for everyone's thoughts.

Hate to bump an old thread but, I would like some more input on this unnumbered Super I purchased.

2012 Bowman Chrome was released on Oct. 17, 2012. I purchased unnumbered Super on Oct. 29, 2012 less than 2 weeks from release. If I remember correctly Seller stated in listing 'card was pack pulled and was thinking of contacting Topps about missing numbering'.

I have measured card and it meets exact measurements (maybe a hair short top/bottom). My first question is Could someone have received and cut a sheet in that short amount of time from release and put it up for sale? Also, I just searched eBay completed for 2012 Bowman Chrome Superfractor Test and only one unnumbered (non auto version) came up. Should there not be more if a whole sheet was cut?

Let me know what you think.

It is not even the same stock they used for the pack issued superfractors, so who cares what the seller said to you. Yours was never pack issued.
