Default 2 mini boxes of Topps Finest (2 different boxes)

First mini box:

Toby Gerhart Finest auto
Rolando McClain dual jersey auto 55/100 (#55 is his jersey number)


Second box:

Tim Tebow Finest Auto
Demaryius Thomas PATCH auto 2/5 (One big issue - if you look on the bottom right side, you can see two lines which i think it was a printing error.) Do you think i should send it back to Topps or sell it? Will it bring the value down? advise please. thanks!

Take a jewelers cloth or eye glass cloth and rub it out ever so gently. If it doesn't come out I would ask for a replacement.

Great Break!! Id sell the thomas. I cant imagine it would hurt the end price too badly considering there are only 5.

Yeah, that Thomas is awesome. Those jumbo patch auto cards are really rare and very tough to pull.

If I have stuff like that, I always make sure I put it in the listing. If it's a hot card, people usually don't care. Just be up front about it.

Remember, if you send it back to Topps, even if you get back the same type of card, you might not get it back for 3-6 months. By then people will have moved on to the newest product on the shelf.

Congrats on some great cards !!!

Sell Thomas now. Even if you lose 10%, you'll still get a good price on it.

As a player collector, we don't care about minor imperfections that don't damage the jersey price or the auto. Especially when the card is numbered to 5.

Thanks you all for the advise. Should I do 5 days or 7 days / bin/bo or .99 and let it run? Thanks again

nice tebow and as for the thomas ive noticed this alot with topps this year especially in their top product tribute baseball, alot of cards have been coming out of packs with creases and glue on the card..kind of sad considering it their top product, probably worth a call to see what they can do for you

You'd like for "premium" cards and the price tag associated with said cards they'd take a little care in the manufacturing process, but their lack of quality is a bit concerning to say the least. It doesn't make me want to buy that kind of stuff as much as I used to. I got burned really bad on Sterling last year. Boxes of bubbling on the cards, smudged signatures, missing jersey pieces..
