Default Perhaps the most unethical thing I've seen in our hobby. Topps should be ashamed

We don't know all the details to say it's unethical so that's unfair. Maybe Bryant signed his contract late, which caused them to scramble to print xxx amount of the '13 chrome but missed the release deadline and weren't able to insert them into the 2013 packs, but figured collectors would still want this card so it was inserted into the 2014 packs.

Who knows, that's my thought and this is def not the first time this has happened with companies scrambling to get a release of a hot top prospect. Look at Hosmer and Lawrie a few years ago, those 2011 chrome autos were BARELY made and inserted into packs because Hosmer wasn't expected to be called up til expanded rosters but he killed it at AAA and they needed to rush quick because collectors were calling for it.
