It took a while for me to calm down. That base design is probably one of the best looking ones all decade (I'll have to wait until I see them to decide if they're better than 2004 or 2005).

veddy interestink. I wonder if the sell sheets will be up soon.
OK, what is Topps saying with "classic photography"? Are we talking action shots of guys like 1973 and you don't even see their face, or nice photos like 1976 Topps. Was there any classic photography in this years Topps. 1991 Topps baseball had some nice photography.
