Am I the only one that has noticed how bad the condition of this years contenders seems to be? I've really only been buying Haskins right now but over the 10-15 that I have bought including several cracked ice the condition has been horrendous. Almost all the the corners are bent, mis-cut, and have indention's. Same with the edges plus they seem to be on flimsy card stock. 2 of the 3 cracked ice I've bought have all the same issues as well and even seen some that the foil was "peeling" on the edges. Really disappointed in what I've seen so far as condition goes. Not sure if this covers the entire print run or just Haskins.

In one of the boxes that Matt had on here in the 4 case break the corners were all bent

Give it a couple months and you'll be able to pick up PSA and BGS 10s.

I haven't bought any 2019 Contenders yet, but I am usually able to find out what the common issues are with cards I'm interested in. In 2018 basically all the Rosen Autos were ruined (wouldn't 10.). In 2017 it seemed like Mahomes dropped his box down the stairs before shipping back to Panini as a lot of Contenders and Optic had corner issues. I'd be interested to hear if it's just a Haskins issue or something with the set. I'll let you know what I see when I start picking some (non-Haskins) Contenders up in the offseason.
