It would have been great if they made a Yellow lettering variation for the Clemente. As far as new stuff, I like the Archives the most. I still don't buy any unopened but sometimes I pick up a single of a favorite player. I am looking forward to Topps 2022 Heritage when they bring back the 1973 Topps design. I can see myself building a master set when those come out. I've always liked the 1973 Topps design and currently have 3 complete sets in my personal collection along with 12,000 extra singles.

Maybe in 2023 when Topps Heritage brings back the 1974 design, they will add a better looking Clemente in the right team colors.
