@b_w_clark @CardPurchaser @Topps Now that card appears to be Mint! Dang. At this point, it’s not just pulling the card but praying to get it in that condition.

@ryanrevans @CardPurchaser @Topps Naw for real tho, that sucks. I just opened some of this and had the exact same thing happen. I was just lucky it was most of the base cards. I would have been as pissed, as you should be if it happened to this…good luck 🍀

I am seeking advice from #TheHobby community @CardPurchaser and @Topps. I’ve ripped hundreds of packs and just hit my first /5 card. Ketel Marte. Thrilled! 😁 Then I see the top left corner damage. 😩Fresh pack from a Costco, Flagship box. Do I have any reasonable options?

@FiloFoomp @ryanrevans @CardPurchaser @Topps @BosCardHunter I hear Kalshi has @BosCardHunter at 69% on “is bringing accountability to one or more breakers at this moment.” That’s where the smart money is right now.

About an hour ago, I had 2 boxes of Costco 2026 MLB flagship collection. The first was awful. Both #’d cards were damaged. I was done. Kind of. I still had the 2nd box 👀 @ me. Fine. Letter rip. Then this happened. 😂

@b_w_clark @CardPurchaser @Topps Brother. Thank you. I almost considered returning the 2nd box to Costco. Then figured, I’d give one last rip. The second box was loaded. I was almost out and then…

Second box brought a couple of beauties. No damage. 😁 Manny /75. Trout /399

@DaveL1246 @CardPurchaser @Topps I’m done. No point in ripping packs when the cards are damaged. What’s the point?

@DaveL1246 @CardPurchaser @Topps I’m annoyed. I pull the red /5 with damage. Next best card is a green Christian Moore /99. Also damaged. The super boxes are well built for protection. That only leaves QC @Topps churning out junk from the get go.

The other fresh pull, numbered card… 🤬

@LaPinaFan @CardPurchaser @Topps Thank you for this feedback.

@ryanrevans @CardPurchaser @Topps 1. Keep it and accept it as it is. 2. You can see if there's a buyer/collector out there that wants it. 3. Or you can fill out the damage claim on Topps and send it into them for a replacement. No guarantee of what you'll get back but they'll try to give a comparable card.

@b_w_clark @CardPurchaser @Topps lol. 😂 I’ve tried that before and it only makes it worse.

@ryanrevans @CardPurchaser @Topps Just bend it back

@FiloFoomp @CardPurchaser @Topps @BosCardHunter I’ll give it a try! I’m so bummed out. Finally hit a rare /5 and it’s damaged. 🤢

Here is my take… experience says if you scream loud enough into the void, because @topps is just a promotional account and they literally laugh at this kind of stuff in the c suite, your best option is is ask @BosCardHunter to take care of it as he is the Ray Donovan of fanatics. Or he so he says. He is probably fixing something right now. I would almost bet on it. @FanaticsBook what’s the over under that Nick Andrews is currently fixing something?

@GovBobFerguson You protect killing unborn humans. That’s not healthcare. That’s a choice.

We will do everything we can to mitigate the impacts of the Big Betrayal Bill from President Trump and the MAGA Congress. This week, I signed our budget into law. It backfills the Planned Parenthood funding that they blocked. In Washington state, we protect women's health care.

@RepJayapal Jayapal is up for election this year. If the SaveAct passes & voter fraud is curbed, she is out of there!

Great news! I’ve officially re-introduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act to make sure the ultra-rich pay their fair share. Our tax system needs urgent reform — this is an important step to address wealth inequality and level the playing field for working people.

@JakeTysonfield @JesseJames2327 @AdamSchefter Leave Sam out of it. Sam Darnold is low key elite. Just hitting his prime. Comparing Cousins to Darnold is lazy AF.

@JesseJames2327 @AdamSchefter Sam Darnold won a superbowl

Comp update: Kirk Cousins will sign a five-year, $172 million deal with the Raiders that in reality is a one-year, fully-guaranteed $20 million deal that also contains a club option for two years at $80M. The Falcons will pay Cousins $8.7 million this season, the Raiders another $1.3 million and Las Vegas also agreed to pay its new QB a fully-guaranteed $10 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2027 new league year. And maybe most notably, it also sets another new mark: this will be the 11th straight NFL season in which Cousins’ contract will be fully guaranteed.

@HIGH_IN_BUFFALO @MrBobFinstock @CardPurchaser @PSAcard Bottom right corner has a tiny blemish as well.

@MrBobFinstock @CardPurchaser @PSAcard Rough upper corner and edges

@CardPurchaser Surprised this was a PSA 7. Let me know your thoughts! I had a bunch of suspect ratings from PSA. @PSAcard

@halleygator @MrBobFinstock @CardPurchaser @PSAcard WTF!? A 6!? What’s even the point of pulling a banger when it’s damaged goods from a fresh pack?

@MrBobFinstock @CardPurchaser @PSAcard Just got this one back. I'm done sending them anything.

@MrBobFinstock It’s a bad deal when we are spending big bucks to hit a banger & once it finally shows up, is damaged from the get go. @Topps needs time do better.

Well, I appreciate the feedback, it only helps me be more objective in the future. For the record, this was fresh out of a pack, in to a penny sleeve, into a card saver.

@Ob1JohnKenob1 I’m going to be forever confused at the difficulty in pulling a banger card fresh from the pack, sending off to PSA grading & receiving an 8. Is it lack of quality control by Topps or a random number by PSA? 🤷🏻‍♂️

🚨 Actor David Spade raising awareness that a bill was introduced in California to audit where the $20+ billion dollars in missing homeless money went, it passed but then Gavin Newsom VETOED the bill to block the investigation Yes, this really happened. He blocked bills for an audit MULTIPLE TIMES Bipartisan bill AB 2903 (unanimous passed 72-0 in the Assembly, 40-0 in the Senate) would’ve forced annual public reports on where the money went Newsom vetoed it. Gavin Newsom also vetoed similar bills AB 2570 and AB 2093 “The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California — The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. That's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for an audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, not a chance. You're not gonna see that. That's the problem.” What's your response to this......??👀 MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
