It's a great product overall but the QC is well down from 2021 which was the last product I'm familiar with.
In 2021 Elite all the cards had the same level of quality. Outstanding really.
With 2024 Elite the silvers, Vegas, and Reflections, essentially all the cards that are fully glossed front and back are pretty darn ordinary imo. The back of the cards have raised edges all round and more than half with dinged corners. I didn't get one good quality silver parallel. I reckon each one of my 2021 Silvers would get a PSA10 if the centering was good.. These would be lucky to get a 7.
Also pretty much all the YG's I've laid my hands on do not have sharp corners. I would've liked to have graded a couple of YG's and the silver Bulla that I pulled but there's no way.
Not sure what 22 and 23 were like overall but the 3 YG's I recently bought from 2023 had 4 sharp corners and were high quality.
Hopefully 2024 is an outlier from a QC standpoint and not the new normal.
