What could have been a nice product ended up being a complete waste. Topps Precision had all the makings to be a new and inventive release. However, there is so many things wrong with it that it may go down as the worst product of the year. There is no excuse in having a product that cost this much and yields a limited number of base cards to not have said base cards serial numbered. In fact, only one card in the entire box is numbered. If companies want to create high-end products, then do the collecting world a favor and use on card autographs on everything. Yes, collectors understand it is harder to do, but it is more worthwhile to the collector in the long run.
