When Topps offered Topps
Now on-demand printing it seemed like there was a universal understanding that
the card would only be offered for 24 hours and would be printed and delivered
within a timely manner, apparently “without error” was not included in the unspoken
agreement.
I just received my
Carlos Correa/Alex Rodriguez card and whoops the wrong picture was used.
Instead card #474 was printed with the images of card #483 which is Mookie
Betts and Nomar Garciaparra. The text and date are correct on the front of card
#474 as well as the correct back but the wrong image and team logos were used.
Card #483, which is supposed to have Betts and Nomar is correct without error.
I was torn on ordering
this card but in my need to be a completest I bought it so I would have the
complete Mariners set for the 2016 Topps Now set not to mention I only paid
$6.99 on a pre-sale through an eBay seller so it isn’t as bad as paying the $10
cost through Topps’ site. So far Topps has not made an announcement on what
they plan to do with a correction, or even if they will do a correction.
And for those in Florida, hunker down and stay safe.
I wonder if they're hesitant to correct the error since someone brought a lawsuit against them for correcting an error earlier in the set. They were upset because they wanted the error and were instead shipped a correction and they sued for false advertisement.
ReplyDeleteWow. The "sue happy" world has officially infiltrated our beloved hobby. ;)
DeleteP.S. Cool card Corky! I'd pick up a copy for $7. At the very least it's a conversation piece and a blog post.
