Topps, are you kidding me???

[lee7786]

What a joke, check out that "game used memorabilia" from Honus Wagner, pay particular attention to the far right jersey piece. Topps is screwing this whole "game used" "relic" stuff up. Someone paid alot of money for that box and this is what they get! What a joke, at least make it believable topps!:rolleyes:

Good to see some post 2008 jersey on a Wagner card, Christ, now I wonder if my Orlando Cepeda bat card is a Wilson Valdez bat...:confused:

I wouldn't be surprised, lol. Why do they think this is acceptable? I don't go anywhere near topps "relic" cards, just because of this reason.

[mgugs46]

That is just awful. I wonder what Topps has to say about that?

[IndySportsCards]

Here's what the Head Marketing Weasel at Topps has to say about this (http://blogs.soccernet.com/manchesterunited/middle-finger.jpg)

[Coug46n2]

Are you saying my Topps Babe Ruth UnderArmor warm up jersey relic isn't legit?

[Laxbam619]

Hahah very funny Indy.....yeah thats unbelievable that they would do something like that...their monopoly on MLB cards really f*cked us all since they have no competition and clearly dont give a sh*t

[lemur01]

You can always try to send your cards back to Topps for replacement. Just contact thier head of customer service. Here is the link.

What about this card? It seems like every single one is like this, including mine.

[stumpfreeman]

That's it, that's enough for me. I now consider every scrap of jersey put into ANY tops card to be fake. Face it guys, they are all probably fake. What a joke. Even if a card has a players name on it, it doesn't mean it's a piece of their jersey!!!:rolleyes: Those cards have probably NEVER had an authentic piece of jersey in them.

Looks like the relics got mixed up between this one and the Honus Wagner.....LMAO. It would be more believeable if the relic of the Matt Kemp was on the Honus Wagner and vice versa.

I am starting to feel the same way. :(

I know. Maybe the Dodgers wore throwbacks for a game recently. But all I'm saying is that Honus didn't wear a jersey of that quality in his life.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you. Topps just needs to get there "era of relics" correct.

I know lol. But before you know it we'll be seeing "player used iPhone pieces" in cards of Cy Young ;)

Don't let TOPPS see this!! :D

[robertr1105]

Haha. I can't wait to see one of these in Topps Series 2 now!

[Chaddie84]

Would you expect any less in a $200-250 per pack product from Topps?

[mwheeler27]

Sadly, this is nothing new. It's truly sad that people still believe in Topps.

Thankfully there's a different company releasing a brand new baseball card product in a few weeks. Every single piece of memorabilia in this product will be authentic, "game-used", and you can take that to the bank. :flex:

what company is this?

[findizzle04]

what company is this?

Sportkings

[trogdor]

Couldn't there be a chance that this is fake and was made by the seller himself? Just a thought

Ive seen a few like this, this was posted on some other boards before.

No, this is just one example of many of these put out by topps.

[mwheeler27]

Sportkings

Close, but not quite right. The man behind Sportkings is also behind this new baseball product called Heroes and Prospects from In The Game, (ITG), a well-respected company that's been around for over a decade now.

Here are a couple links:

What do you get from all this shameless promotion?:devil:

[IndySportsCards]

The ITG Baseball looks like a killer product IMHO.

[cruiserdaddy7]

Just a tip on ITG and Sport Kings products:

Wait a while before you buy. The sealed box prices tend to decrease massively. See Sport Kings D, Famous Fabrics 2, and Ringside Boxing for a few examples. Also a very small collector base for these products considering they cant get a license. Just a fair warning.

The same could be said about most product now.

[cruiserdaddy7]

Very true, I agree. But these ITG and Sport Kings product arent carrying any future value. Lets take 2009-10 basketball products. These were absolutely dead until a rookie gets hot and now they are going up in price and drying up. Any rookies in the products I named above? Nope. Plus, people arent on here hyping these up and refusing to see the failures of recent Dr Price products.
