At least get the same friggin' sticker. Why make people wait if you're just going to **** it up?

It seems the issued it the way they planned to. Notice how the top auto has words underneath the sticker and on the card that certify the auto, while the bottom auto has the certification on the sticker itself.

Fine, go buy someone else's products if you aren't happy with your card..oh wait..
Topps tells you what you will be happy with - how DARE you question them.

What, this has never happened with any other manufacturer at any other time? Of course it has many times.
If anything this card is another example of how manufacturers want collectors to continue to see the hobby as fun and not as a business.

UD, Donruss, and Fleer ALL had their share of Frankensteins, but they really can't do anything about that anymore, can they?
No impetus for improvement. None. They don't care. It's not fun when they don't care.
I don't have any fun opening Bowman platinum, so I don't. One less product to enjoy.

Because all manufacturers have always done this what you're saying is a non sequitur.
I definitely agree you shouldn't buy what you don't find fun, but maybe you weren't Topps' target audience to begin with here?

brouthercard said:Probably not, so don't I have every right to criticize them? Perhaps get the people who ARE their target audience to second guess their purchases? Maybe help them see that things CAN be improved. I suppose if you are truly having fun and LOVE sticker autos, good for you, I live by a different standard. If people are complacent with mediocrity, good for Topps.
