Topps has a strange sense of nostalgia in their new packs. Here is an article on it with pictures and a quote from Topps today about the cards

Remember the days when you got a stick of gum in a pack of baseball cards? The smell lingered on the pieces of cardboard and the sweet treat lasted for hours.
2015 Topps Heritage Baseball is bringing back some of those memories with special limited Gum Damage back cards. The cards mimic a stain left by a stick of gum and if you get close enough, you might even smell it.
There are three different patterns found throughout 2015 Topps Heritage Baseball, but the cards are rare pulls and appear on all 500 subjects in the base card set.
Heritage Baseball came out today with an homage to the 1966 Topps Baseball release using today’s stars and rookies. Look for 2015 Topps Heritage Baseball in local hobby shops and retail outlets....

Since most of us collected cards that came with gum in the packs, this is a little less off-topic than most posts about shiny new cards would be. Not only do they look like 1966 Topps cards, but the tried to replicate the feel without actually just putting gum in there.

Thoughts? The initial reactions I saw were all over the place. Some loved the idea, some really hated it and others were in the middle.
