O/T Topps quality issue - what to do?

Good stuff keeping the kiddos interested. It is such a different time than when us baby boomers (or gen x's) collected.
The bubble gum with the white sugar powder on it from the packs. How can we ever forget?

And keep trying to make it a group effort, we've been ripping a box of Topps series 1 every Opening Day and it makes in an event my boys look forward to and enjoy (even if the cards get tossed in a pile and forgotten about until they "rediscover" cards for the umpteenth time).
