I received a coupon card for a free Topps Now card in a recent purchase of 2023 Topps.  I have never purchased a Topps Now card or really been that interested in them before.  But I thought hey it's free so I might as well order one.

I got the card in the mail today and it appears the ink from the RC logo smeared across the front of the card and it is very easy to see.  Considering this card was free I don't really mind and I am happy to add it to my collection, but the lack of quality control on this is pretty surprising.  These are on demand cards with a fairly low print run costing 9.99 each.  I can't imagine someone would be happy with this if they actually paid that much money for one card.

Again I am happy to add the card to my collection since I chose a card from my local team, but this is not a good first impression of Topps Now.  

I've bought a significant amount of 2023 Topps Now cards and have not had any issues with quality.  Comparing this to other Topps products I tend to notice they put a lot of effort into their online only cards.

I’ve had similar experience as TripleL. I’ve been buying the Topps Now cards since 2016 and have never seen an issue with any of them. I’m wondering if their ‘free’ cards are ones that didn’t pass their internal checks…
