[[2015 Topps Tribute]] is a 100-card set released the week of March 18th, 2015, but recalled by Topps a day later. Each pack contained one serial-numbered autographed or game-used "Relic," and it is a quality-control issue with the autographs that caused Topps to recall the product.
+
[[2024 Panini Boys of Summer]] is a 100-card set released August 28th. Each eight-card box will yield one game-used card and three autographs.
 
 
Shortly after the product's release, collectors began to complain that many of the autographs were coming out of the pack either scratched or smeared.  In a press release, Topps blamed the issue on "UV contamination" and announced a recall of the product.
 
 
 
As part of the recall, collectors who have any remaining unopened boxes or cases of 2015 Topps Tribute have until March 27th, to return them to their local Hobby dealer for a full refund.  In addition, collectors who already opened a pack of Tribute and received a damaged autograph, have until June 30th to exchange their cards with Topps for replacement.
 
 
 
It is currently unclear what (if anything) Topps plans on doing with the recalled 2015 Topps Tribute base cards, parallels, or Relics.
