Just resurrecting this thread to ask a related question re: Topps releasing of post war cards. And I realize this is probably a simple question, but at my age I sometimes need reminding
Did Topps intentionally print more commons than stars during all of their series print runs from say 1965-1973? Thus confirming why I always pulled more commons than stars from packs? And I presume they still do for base sets? If so, has anyone ever figured out a ratio for the number of stars vs. number of commons usually pulled from packs/boxes/cases? It is pretty obvious I used to be a set collector , but that has slowly changed over time. I'm enjoying my collection more now than I used to since I'm not always chasing commons to complete a set
I'm afraid vintage set collecting is on the wane for a lot of folks due to the current prices. A sad day indeed
