2020 Topps Update Baseball Forum

Is it too much to ask Topps to at least be consistent with what way card photos are oriented in relation to the card back? In my experience so far this set is all over the place. Some of the "landscape" cards I have will have the backs upside down, while others have the backs right-side up. With portrait cards if I keep the card backs all oriented the same, some of the card fronts are oriented opposite of others. Did I just get a bad box? Maybe I'm just too OCD?

I've heard other people complain about this so it's not just you. 

Yeah I hate cards that aren't binder friendly. That includes all landscaped cards; fronts and/or backs.

That frustrates me as well. There are a few sets throughout history like that. I don't use pages and it's still annoying when sorting them. 

Yeah, it's frustrating when the card number on back is at the bottom and upside down when the photo on the front is right side up. It doesn't make things easy to check.

But I must ask, which is worse? Card orientation or Panini checklists?

Honestly, I'd be fine if it was consistent. What I'm seeing on this set is some the right way and others not.

If this topic would have been posted yesterday I could have asked the Topps representative I was on the phone with about it. Took me being on hold for 2 hrs 4 mins before someone answered. When I started out I was #6 in the queue. 

The 2020 Topps Gallery landscape cards are all printed with the backs upside down. It is annoying as can be, but at least that set is consistent! 

"glad" i'm not the only one that ran into this issue.

On one hand I was able to put together the entire set with one hobby box (a rarity with topps lately). On the other the backs look like absolute garbage in a binder.

Yay, another reason for me to keep hating Topps! It's not just Topps though, so I hate to keep hating every company making cards, but they keep making it so easy to hate everything they all make these days.
