Gum damaged back PSA 10?

[Shoebox]

I believe it is the card collecting equivalent of when people would by new jeans with pre-torn holes.

Topps wants to help you relive that nostalgia of pulling a star card and finding gum stains on the back so in Topps Heritage you have.....factory generated faux gum stains!

Doesn't it make you feel like a kid again? Enjoy!

Next will be a card with solid color borders, but faux corner wear.

LOL, it is pretty creative, but I won't be impressed until they put the faux gum stains on the front of the card.

They call those cards "gum stained" or something like that out of the factory and therefore, the card is exactly as it came out of the pack. Guess what, nothing wrong with that grade as a 10. That is provided, all other aspects of a PSA 10 are met.

That's the stupidest thing I've seen today in my entire life.

Like paying extra for a bruised apple.

Aside from the "gum stain" variation, they pay homage to printing errors of the past like "green tints," "photo variations," "Milton Bradley backs," etc in the Heritage series of cards. When they remade the 1962 set, they added a Jackie Robinson series for the cards where Babe Ruth was featured in the real Topps set.

Think of the gum stain cards like a colored refractor, because it's a base card parallel made in limited numbers.
