Series 1 quality

[discomike]

For those that have bought some Series 1 this year, how are you finding the quality? I haven't bothered with any, but have seen a few box openings on Youtube, and every time it seems that there's issues with the packs. Either the cards are damaged, or there are cards missing from the packs or even there are missing young guns from the box.

My box was fine, but I have also seen a few people reporting issues, with edges on the YG's being a prominent one. It would be so disappointing to hit a Zegras or Caufield and have to go through the replacement process. It's nowhere near the scale of roller marks or pink flares on years past, but still a nuisance.

Have you seen any of the crazy hot boxes though? A couple guys have hit boxes with 90+ YG's in them.

I opened two boxes. First one, most of the hits were fine, but the quality was less there in the second box. A Jeannot YG, Boulet-Barre YG and Zegras YG with rough edges, some other YGs and inserts far from perfect, a lot of beaten base cards. If everything was mint, those two boxes would have been crazy: 2 Zegras YG, Studenic YGCC, Zac Jones Jeunes Loups, ...
I took pictures and sent an email to UD today. Hopefully they'll reply with a claim number, so that I can send them the cards, and hope to get a decent return in a couple of months.

It's not all loss, I have a decent Zegras YG in hands, the YGCC and Jeunes Loups are mint too.

90 young guns?

Youtube video of this?

Below are the edge issues that I have seen. The left edge on both is the most noticeable, especially toward the bottom.

On my cards, and many others I have seen, the damage is more visible from the back.
