Wow! This is what you call a total screw up by the people at Topps. Do you notice anything unusual?
When it comes to high-end products like Triple Threads, things like this shouldn’t happen. The Hobby is filled with a ton of fake stuff already. Do you have any idea how easy it would be for some scammer to take out that bat piece and insert their own manufactured patch? Since the card says “Topps Certified Game-Worn Patch” most collectors would think its authentic.
I wonder what happened to the patch that should have gone in this card?
For more info, be sure to check out the thread started over on FCB.

I totally agree… if collectors are dropping $150 for 2 hits… then Topps should have higher quality control monitoring these types of issues. Nobody is perfect… but these types of mistakes continue to occur year after year. People (including Topps) should learn from these mistakes and fix this issue.

I am not aware of any jumbo bat piece cards out there, so i wonder where that huge piece of bat was supposed to go.
Seeing it though makes me was a giant bat slice card.
