Print run for 2016 Topps Heritage Gum Stained back cards

That would seem reasonable to me. The most of any card listed on COMC right now is 4 from this year's set.
And they are printed on; I know 2015 had three different "gum stain" patterns.

Al, the gum is applied by topps, mechanically...its really probably not gum but some sort of scratch-n-sniff powder that smells like topps gum and is shaped like a topps gum stick.

That is so disappointing

And that is why I think Heritage has jumped the gimmick shark.

Agreed. What's next? Intentionally creased, off-center cards with factory manufactured corner wear?

I saw someone pull a hockey card that was torn in half from a pack. Not wax either, on of those early 90's mylar packs that were pretty hard to mess with. The shop owner gave him another pack right away. I'd have bought it as an oddity for my misprints collection if there'd been any way to prove it was like that in the pack. There wasn't , and it went where all torn in half commons eventually end up.

You should have bought it Steve, I would have believed you.
