I'm not a new card buyer, but occasionally will pick up some Topps cards...usually once a year to see what they look like. So I'm at my local card shop today picking up supplies and grab one of those small 55 card Topps boxes with Jackie Robinson on the front of the box. I must say that Topps has really made some nice cards this year...I still prefer the old cardboard to these shiny ones, but they've really put a lot of vintage players into the set this year. Just out of my one box I got a Jimmie Foxx, George Sisler, Carl Yastrzemski, Lou Gehrig, Reggie Jackson (repro of his 77 Topps card), Statue of Honus Wagner, Ebbets Field, and a really neat card of Ty Cobb sliding into the base with his spikes high. I might just have to put a set together this year instead of just buying the factory set like I have for the past 10 years.
