Richard, I agree with you. But it certainly is the opinion of someone (myself) who does not like the new and shiny when it comes to cards
But to Wayne's point, I can not fully understand the case break phenomenon. My kids got into a few free kid breaks at the national 2 years ago and they got some ok cards, but nothing that would have been anywhere worth it had it not been free. That being said, if you spend any time at all on other forums such as blowout cards, this is all the rage and flipping is everything. Really the only way to keep this price point doable

Additional cut autos Topps has screwed up. But if you read the rest of the thread, even the modern card collectors this this is a #toppsfail.

Yowzers! I can think of a few single words that could describe the level of effort that went into these examples in the link.... Whoreable and Whorendous.

The "maggio" is so obscene, it's f*****g obscene!

The DiMaggio is kind of humorous (it a comi-tragic way) because you can see the start of it on the other side. It's like "Tell Joe to sit down."

I dont understand why they couldn't fold it, since the original was creased anyway. Let whoever wins it decide whether to keep as a card or pull it out of the case and display it whole.

Actually this card's flaw has nothing to do with the autograph, but with the picture, which is not an image of Joe Maggio, who played 5 years in the Yankee farm system from 1958-62.
