How is possible that a big amount of high end cards are damaged in Immaculate?

[Aripet]

I won´t talk about the ROY in this product, or the design or about the selling price of Immaculate.

I just can´t believe that high end stuff like this can include as many damaged cards and stickers autos.

For a product of over $500 a box that includes 6 cards, I don´t see how this is possible:

- Damaged cards
- Stickers autos

I don´t know what do you think guys/gals!

Damaged cards have been my complaint about Immaculate since the first release.

Stickers and Points cards! They have no reason being in this product, its already loaded with a bunch of HAS BEENS!

Next Year a complete Boycott of Panini, Immaculate is the only product that I would bust, but this year soured it for sure. Never again

For starters, $500 isn't the MSRP. Secondly, these high-end card all get handled a lot before they get to you - e.g. getting packed in and out of boxes to get signed by the player(s), and then hand-packed. They also put them in a box instead of a foil pack which probably doesn't help. Thirdly, there shouldn't really be any stickers in this product.

Exquisite always had it's fair share of damage, for much the same reasons.

All thick high end cards are damaged. Standard stuff...

Look at 2013-14 exquisite hockey....nasty stuff damage wise.

Then how come 03-04 exquisite generally were fantastic? And 10 years later condition wise immaculate's mud?

I haven't opened one box from any company from any sport that was not damaged but I'm picky...
