Man Topps REALLY dropped the ball on Topps Chrome!
Anyone else notice how off-center almost all the base RC auto's are?? I mean some are wayyy off-center. I have been looking all over the bay to pick up some auto's for my PC but cant find any besides the insert versions that are centered correctly. Kinda Ruined the set for me. The base cards seem to be fine but all the auto's I have come across are off-center. You would think they would recognize this before production and would have fixed it. Hopefully this will be fixed for next years version! Anyone else disappointed?

They are very off center. Really bad edges on some too.

Didn't notice since the only ones I want are too expensive (A.J. Green, Cam Newton) or really aren't that appealing (Notably, the Chargers rookies...). Now that I look at it, they are pretty bad. Some are decent but not many.

Yea some are close but majority are way off. Its a shame they wasted all those auto's on really off-centered cards. Would have loved to grab some on-card RC auto's from the set, but decided to stay away since I noticed how bad they seem to be. Wont be seeing many bgs 9's or 9.5's from this set, lol.

Yea I noticed that as well. I purchased a few packs to try them out at the LCS and all the cards I pulled had messed up edges on the top. It looks as if someone sawed the cards apart.

Yeah, looks like the only ones I might get will be if I pull one.

Most of the surfaces are scratched too....blaster boxes don't seem to be as bad as hobby boxes are....none of my blaster packs had scratched cards but the hobby box, at lease half were scratched on some way.....hate it

no they are supposed to be centered correctly the same as the regular base cards.

Yea I noticed some of the cards from my packs I bought at the LCS had scratches on the surface. Would have been a great product if they didnt destroy it!!!

This has been going on with baseball cards for a least 2 years now. Guess they want to start screwing over football collectors now too. BTW, good luck getting them replaced. Topps simply doesn't give a damn
