Please tell me that the series 2 Topps T205 aren't 2003 cards

Beckett had a tidbit in the February Baseball issue that the (supposed) 2003 Topps 205 would be considered a 2003 set despite a release date of January 3rd. Well now Topps has delayed the shipment of these cards until early February. If they consider this a 2003 set this will make Beckett stoop to their all time low. The 99 Topps Chrome Traded was marginal with an early January 2000 release, but when you drop to February I see a major problem. The Delmon Young, Ryan Harvey, Rickie Weeks, etc better not be considered true RC's from this set. Will Beckett still label them as 2003 cards? The books are open gentlemen, place your bets.

Beckett has proved that they have no balls in these issues, they will do whatever topps wants them
to do and that means it will be a 2003 product with key rookie cards in it. I really can't see how
topps thinks they can ride this product so much...series 3 is overkill, you can only ride variation
backs for so long.

If your a dealer why not call topps or beckett or both? I will bet 2003.
