Really Topps?

Mike Foltynewics Series 2 Card (not my auction)

Foltynewics was traded in December. Why is he still in an Astros uniform? I understood in Series 1, but in Series 2? Give me some cards of actual current Astros players!

I know, pretty minor but I felt like venting about it. All better now.

Always been a pet peeve of mine. Kimbrel has Braves card too in S2.

First, why put those guys or potential FAs in S1 at all? Just pull 'em, no biggie.

Then traded/FAs in S2? Ugh...

It looks so fake too. Like they painted the uni on him.

You know Topps' motto - if it's not a Yankee or a Met, tney don't give a ********************!

I think Topps should move their HQ to south dakota so that they actually pay attention to all 30 clubs in the major leagues and not just the two that all their employees are fans of (one or the other).

I kinda wonder if they even know he plays for Atlanta now.

Not to mention Patrick Corbin's card in S2 shows him looking a little...not like himself

They never do that.

Eh, Patrick Corbin, Vidal Nuno, what's the difference for Topps!

They never do that.

I hope you don't think Photoshops are something new when it comes to Bowman...

I just realized something else hilarious about this card. It is the "Career High" insert set. And it is talking about ERA. Who wants to commemorate a career high ERA?

Yeah, this isn't new. Folty's still an Astro on his 2015 Diamond Kings and 2015 Donruss cards too.

Topps sucks...Not sure why people still dont realize that

Topps does not and will never care about its customers!!!

When will people finally understand this???????

Sorry...I had to

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Nice

Right, but those releases were much earlier in the season. I can forgive it. This is SERIES 2.

I love how they have Gavin Floyd in an Indians uniform... Despite the fact that he never appeared in a major league game for them, and as a matter of fact didn't even appear in a spring training game for them! Roberto Perez, Scott Atchison, Shawn Marcum, and others were passed over for this guy?
