The more important thing is feeding the beast. The beast being the people who chase these cards in the hope that they can find someone else to sell them to after they buy them. That is all these cards are for. I don't know anyone who actually collects them.
It is the 21st Century version of the Dutch Tulip Craze.
If Topps can produce cards that look like this, and many look worse, it is because they hold the people who chase them in complete disdain, knowing that those people will buy virtually anything and so called quality control means nothing.
