Why Me?
it seems like every nice card i pull from a back isnt 100 percent, today a braylor edwards game used cleat and all around the insert of material and back theres like bends around it, a gridion gear patch of seau bottom there a white mark where it should be blue, and thats to go with aboout another 4 from last week, now are the actually gonna replace them all as i plan on sening them all back to donruss tommrow and the one for upper deck, said 14 weeks for serial numbers cards that seems a bit much, soooooooooooo anoying, anyone else go through this?

I've been having that problem too.
I'm a huge Red Wings fan, and I recently pulled a Nicklas Lidstrom Honorary Swatches from UD Trilogy. The swatch was not centered in the lower right-hand corner, with the underside exposed. In attempting to maneuver it down a little, I damaged the border around the swatch.
Oh, well. It's still a piece of Nick's jersey, and, as a fan, I wouldn't be looking to sell it, anyway.
I also got a Joe Sakic jersey card, ruby, from UD Black Diamond 25/100. It's a white swatch of jersey and it's got some kind of dirt smudge on the swatch. I don't know whether it's something I did after opening the pack or if it came that way. And a Steve Yzerman Winning Materials from SPx I have has a little wear on one of the pieces of jersey. It's my experience that these jersey swatches usually look pristine, and I imagine it affects value to have them not so.

I just cant stand the borders being messed up, I mean i feel as if im payiong good money for these packs I should be getting a good card, of course every base card is fine but the cards I get excited for seem to have a prob. just getting annoying and the fact its gonna be like like 4 months to get the card is a pain, by that time it will be worth next to nothing :(

Trust me it is not just you. I picked up a box of 05 Topps Total the other day, and 70% of the cards were damaged. However, none of the rookie cards, or inserts were damaged. But I did get a 2002 Joey Harrington game used card that also had creases all around the inserted cloth, and I have also gotten a 2004 Gary Carter game used card that was practically broken in half.

With me it seems every other card besides inserts and game used are perfectly fine, just sent a few out yesterday, gotta begin the 14 week wait to get replacments, I added a nice little letter with my displeasure with them.

CATCITYKID, about the swatches that are not pristine; I don't find it to be a problem. Just watch any hockey game with a lot of action and see how long the jerseys stay pristine. I absolutley love pulling a patch with a tear or stain in it. In fact I even have a few with what I am sure are bloodstains. With GU cards being almost one to a pack these days they just aren't special unless they have some charactor.
