Default Throwback or Throwaway?

If they are true to the designs of good sets. Unfortunately, most of the ones I've seen are "sort of" there as far as design. The "T206" cards, for example, are nowhere near as deep and lushly toned as the real deal. I do like the Upper Deck Vintage lines, esp. the 2001 set, which is patterned after my favorite set from my childhood, the 1971 Topps set. I had Shawn Green sign that one for me when I was at that charity thing, and I gave my nephew a 1943 Topps-style card to have signed. One thing I do not like are retro cards on modern glossy UV finished stock.
