2012 Finest box of junk!
I just purchased a box of 2012 Finest today as my first break of 2012 product. I am completely disgusted with what I found. All of the cards have a white powdery substance on them, that does not come off. Has anyone else had this issue? As far as I am concerned, these cards should not have been released this way and they are absolutely positively JUNK! I am not too happy right now

I thought that white powdery dust was purposely added to packs to prevent glossy cards from sticking to one another...

They say it's to prevent sticking but the hidden secret of truth to that white powdery substance is that it was on the cards that were being produced when Charlie Sheen was having his walk-through of the Topps facility...lol
