I already know that no matter how bad, I will keep going.

Hahaha. Atleast you have your mind made up. I haven't seen any real hits pulled yet. That may also become a factor.

Watched a case busted today at the shop....poor guy...best pull was a jeter jersey, Dale Murphy auto #/50.....most autographs were streaky and the few like Troy Tulowinski #/75 and the two Sonny Gray autographs that appears nice...had tiny gaps in the autograph.
From the store's loose packs, I pulled a streaky Longoria auto #/75..looked nice from 2 feet but if you are able to look closely....tiny gaps in the "E" and "L"...

Thank you for the information. Good little article and I hope that this one part of it comes true....

This really is a shame. I've seen a few of those rightful recognition cards and they're absolutely beautiful.

The cards themselves a awesome. I really got some beautiful relics out of my case. Topps just used the wrong pens when it came to the autographs.

RE: 2015 Topps Tribute autos
I'm glad I stayed away from the 2015 tribute. It seems to me Topps lessened the cards in a box, that's why I didn't buy any. But after seeing the autos, I'm glad I didn't. For my own edification, how many cards to a box this year. On my 2013's I'm breaking it's 6 packs per box, 5 cards per pack.
Ok, I just looked on Blowout cards site, Topps reduced the cards per box by 40% between 2013 and 2015. Boy am I glad I didn't buy any.
