Before anyone says anything. Yes it's sticker but in this case I don't care. Both of my pc guys on one card I had to go for it

nice card! both autos are completely on the sticker as well, which is a nice bonus. I've been trying to pick up Griffeys 2012 Topps stuff but didn't go after this one since: 1-sticker auto, and 2- dual auto. Either way, both guys are Seattle Mariner hereos, so I love it.

First, it's bad ass looking. Plus, at least they didn't do something stupid and put a bat piece from some random ass interleague series that was used by felix. I can't stand getting GU bat pieces of pitchers. Bout the only guy worthy right now is Zambrano. Also, it's cool to see a Griffey auto on a Topps card!

I know what you mean about the stickers not mattering in this case - one of my favorite hockey cards is a dual Patrice Bergeron/Alexander Ovechkin auto, and it's the only time they were (or probably ever will be) on the same card, so I sucked it up and grabbed it for the PC. So ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Hell of a card, though - congrats!

I thought GQ was supposed to be all on card? I would be pissed, poor execution.

Quite a fast turn around on that Michael!!! It still hasn't made it to my inbox yet though ;) Hahaha...seriously though, as mentioned above, atleast the Griffey is on the full sticker and they didn't use foil stickers. I think the card looks pretty sweet and the pairing of the players is top notch!

The thing is, both griffey and felix had on card autographs in this product, so the issues wasn't with the players but that topps just didn't have the card
made, or left it on a desk, when they were getting the other cards signed. Pretty pathetic.

How come these are stickers then? They weren't redemptions and were seeded in packs:

It never ceases to amaze me, that a member can post a new card they are excited to add to their collection, and other people feel the need to **** on the card. Poor form.

Maybe the OP needs to ask topps WTF. I know if that card showed up in my mailbox I would be on the phone. How does topps hand both Griffey AND Felix
live cards to sign, but not these dual autographs?

oh and if the OP really didn't mind if they were sticker, he wouldn't of even said anything, but that was the first thing he posted. That card goes from
nice, to epic if those sigs are on card. Topps owed he that when they sold him GQ.

Why settle here? Why not ask questions? Topps got lazy and he paid for it. Doesn't seem fair to me.

I think the issue with dual on card auto's is that they have to send them to one athlete first, then wait to get it back before sending to the next (nd then waiting again). So, they likely printed all the cards in the set, send felix and griffey their cards, and put stickers on the duals to save the time. I understand WHY they are stickers....i wish they were on card, but i do understand why.

And whats the point on calling topps? The product is out, people are buying it...what are they going to do? Say, OK, send it back and we will send it to the players to hard sign just for you because you asked! Cmon, this is a business, and they are worried about the next product, not one that was already released.

Nice card, goes great in your collection!

Sweet card! I would care for it to only be a Griffey being I am a fan of his but if the other player you are a fan of then *bonus*. Sticker or not it still is there auto and is a very nice card!
