wait, I thought Beckett was hiring!

I'm glad she has a job (or gets to continue having a job) but I'm not glad it's going to be writing propaganda for Topps rather than for Beckett.

I'll try guess #2 since I blew it the first time with "baseball card editor" meaning writing up positive articles about topps and topps products.

My guess #2 for "baseball card editor" - likely sooz will write up the neat facts and blurbs on the card backs when a player has a short enough career so far to include those. I wonder if she'll even be going as far as proofreading cards once the proof mockups have been created. She might even help the brand manager with compiling the checklist.

I won't be writing backs. But I will be doing editing, proofing, and helping to create baseball card products.

Congrats. I have to say that most people on here would consider that a dream job. As you know, Topps is often the target for some frank criticism, some deserved, some not. But it is clear that they have taken steps to improve some key processes (bring redemptions fulfillment in house, publish player signings on a weekly basis, etc.). I am sure that this is a another step in the right direction. Good luck.

Hopefully you can knock some sense into their baseball lines.

Well-played. This made me laugh out loud.

Improve the dumbest thing Topps ever did: Career home runs for Ben Revere 1.....He is 761 behind the all-time leader Barry Bonds. Horrible Topps! Useless info!!!!

And Congrats ma'am!

Congrats on the new job! It is nice to see someone on the hobby inside views these forums. While a lot of people have many bad things to say about Topps, including me, you are new there so do not take them personally. We ALL hope you can do something, anything to help their products out. Even the smallest of improvements, would be a step in the right direction. They are losing their luster.
