Card #33 often has a problem where the fingers of the 3s didn't print correctly. This is the reason for the rejected cards and why no sets were made from Box #3.

A nice set but the quantity of product promotions on the packaging and card backs is some-what a turn off.

Due to a problem during manufacturing, every Metalworks Poster was damaged. The Women of Bond inserts also seem quite fragile. Thankfully Inkworks has an excellent replacement policy.

Typical of every Topps release in the past year, the collation for the first box was terrible for making sets. Combined, I ended up with 5 sets and 4 to be completed.

* Both sets can up short by 1 card - #585 all of which were damaged by an impact crease. The damaged cards in Box #2 were both miscut.

The distrubution of the insert cards was not as stated for the overall run. Would have had the proper number of sets if not for all the damaged cards. They are all damaged on the top where it looks like something slammed down hard on them.

While these cards are very nifty, the price seems a bit extreme considering there are only 3 cards per pack. * There was obviously a problem cutting these cards since each copy of a card is centered differently with variations both horizontally and vertically. Keep in mind that I'm more nit-picky than most. This is a unique set of 3-D cards. I just don't think the market will bare too many of these per year considering pricing and packaging. Many other people found the collation of their boxes to be very poor and Topps is offering a limited time to swap up to 25 cards at a time.

One of the two holograms in the first box has a printing defect where it looks like some dirt got in the machine when it was printed. I was disappointed that it looks like I was shorted a pack in the second box. Since I didn't count the packs and am only going by the total common card count, I can't say what happend.

As typical for a Topps Widevision set, there is no checklist. These cards are somewhat difficult to collate due to a strange numbering scheme where each episode is numbered 1-12 rather than having cards numbered 1-72
