I actually think that the "Throw Back" cards are a GREAT way of letting young kids know that VINTAGE cards even exist ... and hopefully to lead those youngsters into a lifetime of fascination with collecting the REAL T205's, etc.

When I was a kid collecting Topps cards in the 1970's ... I used to LOVE the cards that would come out and show OLD cards of Mickey Mantle or Hank Aaron back through their careers ... so I would have LOVED to see something EVEN OLDER!!



I never even knew back then that baseball cards existed before Topps came out in 1951 ... because Topps wanted it that way!!
