thanks to everyone to the headsup on this card... someone on ebay just hit my $50 buy it now auction - I'm more than happy to sell a card I just had sitting in a common box!
So where are these sps being pulled from... retail single packs... retail jumbo packs, cereal boxes... what? I seem to be getting the same cards over and over no matter if I buy the jumbo packs, single packs, cereals, or blasters at Wal-mart, Target, or the odd gas station. Truth is, the retail has about dried up here in my town. Target... out, one Wal-mart only a couple of cereal boxes left, and another Wal-mart, I bought the last 4 jumbo packs tonight! These things are way too addicting and you just get crap.... I'm about out of the chase for whatever it is I think I'm chasing!
I was wondering if anyone else has come across any cards with similar types of issues.
I have three cards that have all come from the same jumbo pack where the black border around the player's name is off center when printed.
The other printing issue I saw are cards with no silver where the player's name, position and Topps logo would be. The Greinke card is the AL Cy Young Award Winner and that has no silver in it either. The odd thing about these cards is they were purchased as the same hobby shop as the ones above at a later date and the Greinke and Young came in the same jumbo pack but the Rodriguez came in a regular hobby pack.
I have searched all my other 2010 Topps and could not find any others like this and was just wondering if anyone else was getting these with any regularity. Thanks.

First, welcome to the boards!
I have some cards with the printing issue you show with the Topps logo/player name/position. I would say I'm seeing that issue on about 1 in 75-100 cards or so. I suspect it's a printing issue rather than a variation, but it's just a guess on my part.
Thank you for the welcome and the response. I figured it was an issue with the printer but everyone I knew that was collecting this set wasn't pulling any.
Yeah, like stated before a printing flaw. Reason no one else you knew pulled any was they print a million? of each card. Quality control likely scooped up most of the flawed ones once they saw them go pass. Few slipped by. Chances on finding many more are slim. Every year I pull cards that has missing or incomplete foil, stray ink lines or smears etc.
I haven't looked through the loads I already have, but I picked up a couple packs at the gas station this morning and I also pulled a Mantle with the same printing defect. Think most of the other cards in the pack had the same problem. Other pack was fine. I left them at work or I would post a scan!
I read through this thread and didn't notice any references to an error-type I found last night looking through the few new cards I've bought this year. There appears to be a printing error where the silver foil is missing on the "Peak Performance" inserts. Below are two cards I've found so far...which are also listed on an certain auction site here (Babe) and here (David)
These are similar to the old blank/wrong backs/fronts. Printing flaw that can affect anybody. I see cards missing foil every year. Dont know how many of those players are avail. The few I've pulled, the stars sold for a small premium.
will wonders never cease,, i split my card money up this month between topps regular and heritage, got lucky on the heritage with a red ink and got this in the reg topps, plus i popped a 53 and a 57 on the tmg site,, finally got lucky at something, jeepers was wondering what was going on,, bj

I bet that Mantle will sell for a small premium.
Does any one else have something similar??
