OT: 2015 Topps Heritage Adds Gum Stains to New Cards

[quinnsryche]

Absolutely stupid. Who the hell wants stains on their cards? These should actually then be worth less than the regular ones just like it would be if you bought a vintage card with/without a stain. I get the concept, it's just dumb.

I remember one year finally getting my Mantle, and it had a horrible gum stain on it. I was bummed, but it was still Mantle.

As long as they keep making baseball cards, I don't care what they do.

I'd love to see them making wax packs of cards with actual gum and thick card stock again, and selling them at prices that kids can afford. But what do I know, most of the people I collect are already dead.

I feel like this puts Heritage one step closer to fully jumping the shark.

I wonder who stayed up all night coming up with the idea of ADDING gum stains to chase cards. What's next miscuts, blank back, multistrike reverse and names at top??

Wait I just gave them ideas for the next decade

Yes...this is exactly what's next!

So if these cards get graded, will they be "mint" because they were suppose to have the gum stain or will they be graded down for staining ?
