I have no idea what eTopps is? Are they something you buy in a pack or something you have to buy and print off only on line??? Either way, I have no interest personally, but if it is something like that will get people back into collecting or the next generation interested in baseball cards again, then I'm all for it. That being said , I'm only for it if it is affordable to kids. My personal feeling is that kids can't collect cards these days because the companies sell their packs for 3-10 dollars each just so you have a chance at some limited edition card that is autographed, or a piece of flannel or bat. These special cards have about 10% of their value about 3 years later...whoopy-do da-day! I'm only 38 and I remember buying packs at 10,25, and 50 cents a piece. A kid can afford to blow money on collecting when were talking less than $1. Now a days it stinks because the kids can't afford it. (And Adults for that matter) I think another reason besides those "Special Cards", why Topps and others who are "allowed" by Major League Baseball to produce cards, have their prices so high is because MLB charges the companies so much for their rights to produce them.
