What a bummer... Doesn't ruin the card for me, but Topps gonna Topps I guess

Now get off my lawn!

And the Dugout Quiz answer on the reverse of the Satchel card is Boston Braves..

Looks like they’ve added it now.

Jared or Angel, any insight as to why we haven’t seen any more Negro Leaguers since Josh Gibson?

Oh happy day. 2 HOFers this week and Satchel #700 . I too am disappointed not in Negro Leagues uni, but thank you for listening Topps.

A big shout out to both artists who clearly put extra passion in with beautiful artwork this week 🫡

I absolutely feel horrible for any of you who spent money with PSA to slab these artist-signed cards only to have them returned by PSA as-is. PSA refused to give me any reasons why they passed on authenticating the foil signed cards, which were the best quality foil-autos I provide to collectors. Apparently, PSA thinks I can do better. Here is their reply to me (I'm not sure who Craig is):

"Hello Craig,

Thank you for contacting PSA Customer Care.

Unfortunately, providing images, a proof, or pictures will not make a difference. As previously stated, Our authenticators can only render an opinion based on the evidence that they have in front of them; the most important evidence being the characteristics of the autograph itself. The signature has to stand on its own merit, which means that if the pen that was used didn’t flow evenly, their hand shook and made a loop too big, there were hesitations, etc... it can be deemed questionable.

While we understand the effort you are putting forth for the customer, this will not change our authenticators professional opinion.

I know it can be hard to "just trust us!" but I do want to assure you that we have earned this trust from the community for being the best and most trusted third-party authentication service on the market for over 30 years.

If you have any other questions that I can help with, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,
Michael A.

PSA Associate Customer Care Representative"

Thanks for update & your efforts Jared. Seems no good deed goes unpunished. Sorry you went to great effort with foil signatures only to have this happen. Bummer but we fans appreciate your extra efforts in this set. The foil signature adds class. You are a class act all around.

Has anyone (or everyone) received their Frank Howard print? I have not and the Topps website still shows my order for both the card and the print as "processing". However, I received the card on time.

I order the signed subscription from Jared every month, so he waits to send them all together, and I received my signed print from him a couple weeks ago on 1/29.

Bobby Valentine and Pete Rose today, right?

It's obvious, right?! Today is peak demand for green m&ms.

I hate that I didn't plan better for a Wednesday Valentine's Day. I could've pushed Topps in that direction. Oh well, there's always 2029, I guess.

I'm adding Ellis Valentine and Cupid Childs to the options as well.

Better than what I was thinking....a bouquet of radishes will leave you green on Valentines Day...but probably more likely blue.

[kidfan9]

Ellis & Bobby Valentine would have been awesome today!

Candy Maldonado and Tyler Flowers would make every woman happy on Valentines Day!

Saddest thing I've seen in a while:
Angel: How about a photorealistic towel with like Orioles logos on it?
Topps: Nice, nice, cool ... *CRRRRRRRROP*

[astroshane]

Jarred since you are always looking for the next easter egg have you considered replicating the Randy Poffo rookie card ? He was a reds rookie who went on to achieve legendary heights. If you ask me it would be the ultimate of all your Easter eggs.

The prints are amazing for getting "the whole picture".

Is Topps releasing a checklist for cards 600-700?

It was available with the 2-card bundle last week.

There's one seller with it listed on eBay, individually or with the bundle.
