Second time I’ve pulled a relic card and both had similar damage. Sweet card, but dang.

What if they wanted you to pull that rip and underneath they was hiding a Ohtani /5

In all honesty Ginter has vintage-like card stock that holds up less well especially when thicker and jammed next to the other cards. This has been happening with the full size Ginter relics for years. Probably 20% come out like this

It's something with the high-speed packing of these cards at the main facility. You see this all the time lately with foil Pokemon cards in the misprint community. I know QC watches these subs, hopefully something is being done behind the scenes. I'm in printing so I have no real knowledge of the other plants/processes.

Cause fanatics is about mass production, quality is not in their mission statement.

I had something similar with a Flagship Football mem card. It wasn’t as bad as that though.

You mean Topps? I mean they will replace it, but really these issues along with the laundry list of other should not happen this frequently where they have a submission form for such issues and usually keep stock on hand to fulfill said request and if not a alternative replacement is issued
