Default Interesting Business Week Article on Topps w/ Vintage Content
Posted By: peter chao

Russ,

An example of one of the reasons Topps started going downhill was their 2006 product. In this set they randomly inserted vintage cards. Now Topps has been in business for 50 years and your thinking wow I could get something special.

Well, the vintage cards they inserted were mostly from the '88 and '89 Topps set. They were trying to pass cards that were massively overproduced as "vintage cards." Topps could have done better than that.

Peter
