Even on the secondary market, 150 cards (times two or three) is too much. Anything over 100 cards should be a product by itself. And with the lack of creativity of all the products they have, they could easily switch with some of this insert stuff and make it more interesting.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-44363879139059090172019-02-18T10:48:10.079-06:002019-02-18T10:48:10.079-06:00Good luck in chasing all that.Good luck in chasing all that.Swing And A Pop-uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366868132258608938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-24605359731746800912019-02-18T09:31:34.714-06:002019-02-18T09:31:34.714-06:00SO GLAD that full stats are back: it was what alwa...SO GLAD that full stats are back: it was what always set Topps apart from the (pardon the pun) rest of the pack. . . .Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984245109020610620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-21973244441200040952019-02-17T11:06:15.763-06:002019-02-17T11:06:15.763-06:00Great first pack and a great way to start.

But I'm not a fan of the number of insert sets Topps produced for their flagship product. At some point collectors will become desensitized by the sight of pulling an insert. It already has started to happen with me. I miss the days of feeling like I won the lottery when I saw something shiny in my pack.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-31184309014025605112019-02-17T06:22:24.491-06:002019-02-17T06:22:24.491-06:00Glad you were able to pick up the set and (most of...Glad you were able to pick up the set and (most of) the insert sets. Hopefully the prices drop for you and you can get the rest. <br />Did you happen to pull an extra Steve Pearce World Series highlight card? Steve was a classmate of mine, and I’ve been trying to pull that card, and after 4 hanging boxes, I’ve been shut out. Let me know and Mays we can work out a trade.

It stinks even more that Topps is packing less insert cards in packs, which makes it much more difficult/expensive to complete 2019 insert sets. Great post though!bbcardzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290656676306029566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-75225024637645457282019-02-17T01:38:45.825-06:002019-02-17T01:38:45.825-06:00Crazy, do you think Topps went overboard on the in...Crazy, do you think Topps went overboard on the inserts this year?
