Don't feel bad. I fixed a scan today for one of the Pacific Crown Royale die cuts that was not only poorly cropped, but actually UPSIDE DOWN!. An easy fix, but I'm amazed it got through/

There's a good chance that the Manny card that was scanned actually looked like that straight from a pack. Topps has been pretty bad about centering and cutting cards for MANY years. Plus, Chrome cards tend to have a curl. That makes them really hard to scan properly. I'm not defending the scan, but giving options as to why it is okay for submission. Until a better scan comes along, it'll have to do.

I once got a pack that was open already from someone, and they opened it with scissors. I am sure you can guess what happened. Anybody want a strange looking 2021 Topps Hunter Harvey?

The Manny was pretty off center from the pack. I upload another, but centering was not much better.

Quality control at Topps is getting worse as I going through the Topps Heritage High, miscuts and backs are all different colors, reminds of the 1956 Topps at times. Haven't reached Panini level of miscuts yet but surely working on it.

And this is why I don't use scissors on packs.
My younger cousin tried to get into this hobby, and I got him some cards. Now, they're spoiled rotten by my Aunt and Uncle, so he got around $2-3000 worth of packs. He opened all of them with scissors. Have you ever seen a Rhys Hoskins Orange Sticker Auto with the top cut off? I have.
On a separate note, I saw, I think it was a Tommy John card, whose back scan was reversed. It has since been fixed, but I don't know how that got through quality control.
-------------------------------
Didn't think I'd get this far from building robots in the garage, but here we are now. Wish I could make a robot that could scan every image of my cards in here... |

Stuff gets "through" because after a while of showing that you are submitting quality scans that do not need cropping and do not get flagged for replacement, one gets the ability to accept your own scans. Many of these images that are not the poper quality have been uploaded by those with self-approval access. Most of these do not pass through the scan queue and those who review that area.

Please don't take this wrong. I honestly don't know the answer and am curious. As a database, I want to see what a card looks like. It helps me match mine faster. And it helps me search eBay or wherever by glance. If the image is 5 degrees from perpendicular it doesn't bother me. I can still see what the card looks like. It's not like this is an art gallery. It's a database. I can tell this is a big deal to many, so please help me understand.
