So @ToppsDigital x @WAX_io published a response to product criticism (kind of), telling customers to & #39;read the fine print& #39; & jabbing Dapper Labs

Spoiler alert: They did not read their own fine print.

I can& #39;t believe what I read

TLDR: Wax said opening packs was not time sensitive. That was untrue.

So what& #39;s the deal here?

Some Legendary collectibles were limited to ONLY the first 2,500 people to open premium packs

Topps didn& #39;t disclose this on the website & Wax repeatedly told the Discord community there was no advantage to opening packs earlier

This is a pretty big mess up. Not totally catastrophic. But somewhat big.

In response, Wax released their own statement.

The first 5% is a launch recap.

The other 95% describes the error.

IMO the statement is more disturbing than the error.

You can& #39;t:

1. Blame customers for not reading the fine print &
2. Ignore that you were the source of the bad info

Wax& #39;s official position appears to be: "customers should read the fine print to avoid the misinformation being spread by the company& #39;s own community managers"

They also pushed a lot of blame on Topps

I wonder what the Topps people think of this

Topps has let Wax handle most of the communication so far, I wonder if that& #39;ll continue

It& #39;s kind of....strange(?) that Wax used the explanation of the error to state its superiority to Flow.

This is the concluding paragraph.

The statement has not been well received so far among those that read it.

(See Discord reactions & the top comment on the post)

There are other fairness/transparency issues bubbling as well, we& #39;ll see how/if they decide to address them.

These would be more significant if true, but it& #39;s unclear.

Topps MLB NFT Distribution Concerns

Many concerns have been raised over the distribution of cards in the new Topps MLB packs and it seems they are completely valid.

https://jaygorrell.medium.com/topps-mlb-nft-distribution-concerns-2d8fc329c3a

This isn& #39;t to say the drop has been a failure at all. There is plenty of demand & prices are only going up

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

However, Topps& #39; lack of involvement & community investment concern me.

This project has made millions, I hope they re-invest it in improving & growing a community
