2014 football releases are just around the corner, I believe Upper Deck kicks it all off on 4/24/14.
With the upcoming draft and strong incoming class, I am pretty excited to pick up some packs and or boxes or various brands in the near future.
My question is what experiences have you have with quality of various brands?
To give you an example, I have had great success with Topps Chrome. Every pack that I opened may not have had a hit but the cards were on good card stock, mostly centered, crisp edges, not damaged in packing or shipping. Same with most Panini packs that I have opened. However, I purchased a box of Topps Inception in 2012, from a reputable dealer and every card looked like it had been chewed up like a piece of corn on the cob. I literally watched the dealer pull my box from the case, so I never blamed the dealer.
