[Mattsurewood]

Ordered 2 cases of 5 Star, one showed up today at my LCS and one is due to be in tomorrow...results of the first below...will post results of the second once it comes in. I don't have a scanner, but Keith at Chesapeake Sports Cards was nice enough to scan a few of the bigger hits for people to see...here are the cards, in order as they were in the boxes (I heard some Group break people wanted to see how they were packaged...)

True...as a collector, not overly concerned with the resale though...it's the condition..will always cringe when I look at the edges of the Posey card.

That left corner of the Kershaw makes me sad..yet again

I feel for you. That Posey would have been a killer card if it wasn't damaged in the box as so many of the 5 Star cards have been. It still is a great card, but Topps really dropped the ball on this. Those who get their cards slabbed are going to be pretty upset when they start seeing PSA/BGS 6's and 7's.

The Kershaw has corners? I thought all 4 were "rounded edges" LOL

Nice pulls!

So sad that Topps has failed miserably with damage
