I bought a hobby box of series 2 and about 75% of the hits or other inserts have dinged corners. I got an Alex Kirilloff 1986 35th anniversary black auto #/199 with a dinged corner (bottom right), Luis Garcia 1986 35th anniversary with a dinged corners (bottom left & right), a Miguel Sano Significant Statistics with a ding corner (bottom right), Bryce Harper Zero to Sixty dinged corner (bottom right), Will Myers rainbow foil dinged corner (top right), Rowdy Tellez rainbow dinged corners (top right & bottom right), Hank Aaron 1986 AS with dinged corners (bottom left & right),  Nolan Ryan 1986 AS dinged corners (top right & bottom left), Ronald Acuna Jr 1986 AS dinged corners (top right & bottom left), Ronald Acuna Jr black 1986 AS #/299 dinged corners (bottom left & right),  Triston McKenzie 1986 35th dinged corners (bottom left & right), Jo Adell 1986 35th dinged corners (top right & bottom left), there are a couple more but I'm tired of typing. Several months ago when I bought a box of series 1 it was the same shit, all the decent cards are banged up. Is there a way to get these replaced by Topps? And if so will they at least give you equal value? I would like the same cards back but I'm already assuming that won't happen

Topps policy is they will nto replace any card they deem to be graded an 8 or above, so it has to be significant damage. The good news is that it is risk free...if your cards aren't damaged enough, they'll send them back. If your cards are damaged to a degree they will replace, the cards you are describing you will surely receive the same cards in exchange, and likely a pack or two as a further mea culpa.

Thx for the info..I will shoot them an email to find out the specifics... appreciate the help

I am curious though how the hell do most of the inserts get all banged up but the base cards surrounding them don't? 🤔

Possible machining error during the insertion process. They could have been damaged on the press before being mixed with the base cards and fed into the packs.

I have seen a lot of bad corners in series two looking at different openings
