Curious if this is an anomaly as the image for it in the catalogue looks perfect.
But I'm certain I have other new sticker sheets from recent sets that have
this poor quality as well.

They're all awfully cut, and even one of them doesn't have enough of
the backing to cover the sticker edge. It feels like it was printed on a large
roll and someone didn't use scissors but instead was trying to (badly) separate
it by angling it over the edge of a table/bench. Or the blade of the cutter they
were using was incredibly dull and basically only ripping the pages.

Apologies for the blurriness (tried downsizing the image afterwards to have it
be under 2MB).

Related set:

I've never seen a set this bad.

1 thing I do when add pictures for things like sticker sheets is if it has jagged
edges I crop that off so the image can look perfect even if it’s got jagged edges
but yah those ones are not to happy looking

That's a good point and I'll try to tidy mine up a bit too where I can.
Hopefully it's not a trend for sets to come anyways.
