file this one under small victories.
this is a 50th anniversary buyback from 2024 topps heritage
that i added to my steve garvey collection shortly after the set's release date. it features the buyback foil stamp oriented as if the card were a portrait design rather than landscape. it works with the card in a binder, but it seemed lazy by topps to not take the time to stamp cards correctly. it was something that i think i first noticed in 2021.
well, here is the same card, bought back and stamped, but released with 2024 topps heritage high numbers
it looks so much better to have the stamp aligned with the card.from what i can tell, topps maintained the "correct" stamp positioning for landscape cards in 2025 and i hope it continues into the future. it's the simple things i suppose.
I never realized they oriented the stamp to the photo. Cool to have both.
ReplyDeleteWow. Topps went back and fixed something? Kudos to them.
