TOPPS = FAIL

WTF IS THIS GARBAGE THEY ARE PUTTING OUT!?!?

topps finest auto jersey.....

Bowman chrome auto jersey...

For the love of football PLEASE just stick to chrome, you dont have to put a jersey in everything...it looks awful!

 

[sffanmike25]

Definitely looks forced in both cases. Chrome Ref Autos and Finest variation autos have been good enough in the past, why screw those ideas up. ::facepalm::

 

[deceptikon1978]

Agreed. A nice design and auto is plenty. No need for a crappy jersey slapped in there. Finest used to be one of my favorite sets.

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Bowman Chrome parallels look good this year but not the jersey autos. Also do not like the topps chrome auto jerseys

 

[DaveH]

the finest is terrible.

the chrome is almost ok

 

[wheeler281]

not too upset over the Chrome jersey. HOWEVER THAT FINEST HAS TO BE THE UGLIEST CARD OF THE DECADE

 

[Groat]

That Finest card is a steaming pile of crap. I wonder if the designer created the design and then the suits came in and just put that swatch there. Less egregious is the Bowman Chrome. While there's still no need for a swatch, it doesn't completely destroy the card. Just takes away from it a little.

 

[Gellman]

On the finest card, the swatch almost had an interception!

 

[Card Magnet]

Eww. I like the cards they've made in the past with just the auto...

what is that showing through the auto on the bow chrome card? UGLY

The "rookie card" logo, it's already in the upper left, so I don't see the point of having a faded one behind the autos, looks stupid.

Is it maybe part of the sticker? Topps could have had a sheet of them with the RC logo on the sticker. Quite stupid looking indeed.

 

[Willywanker]

sexy looking cards right there

 

[Slette]

Enough of shoehorning a stupid jersey/patch into Chrome and Finest! God, just leave it alone!!! I'm gonna go bust some 2006 Topps Chrome and Finest, and try to forget these blasphemies ever happened.

 

[dinicon]

The stickers are almost universally crooked too. Too sloppy for my money.

 

[ffgameman]

Agreed....

Some sets like Finest and Topps/Bowman Chrome don't need GU - just refractors and autographs.

 

[Rickzcards]

How long before certain sellers, and you know who I mean, start putting patches in either? Any guesses.

 

[trcardcollector]

Those 2 are awful!!! BLAAAHHH! :x


It seems like the only set they didn't screw up this year was Bowman Sterling. The jerseys in that set don't look too bad.

I don't particularly care for this year's Bowman Chrome design. I really really like the 2006 Bowman Chrome. Nice, clean.....I mean seriously...how can you not like the look of this?

Now that there is a sexy card!

 

[Old Kentucky Shark]

Yeah, they're hideous.....until someone pulls the Sanchez auto/jsy and sells it for a couple hundo.

Yet, if there were NO autos/jsys in the product, everyone would complain about how they "won't make their money back" on the box and call it junk.

I guess you can't please everyone, especially in this hobby.

Just sayin.

That Finest card looks like a patch faker got his hands on, and altered, one of those photographer's proof parallels from last year's Stadium Club.
