I agree with Jon P. too. That is kinda the point. I buy my son base card cast offs from insert hounds. I'll get the occasional "special" card for him if the price is right and it is a worthy player. The inserts and high pack prices have really narrowed the modern hobby in such a way that refined collectors (and kids' with budgets) have little to no interest in it.
Topps and others have tried various cheap sets but they don't have the staying power or the depth of engagement that the kind of set I am envisioning would have.
