Topps has all these reprints of old timers in sets, so it isn't the distributors fault. Not enough kids appreciate history. I remember buying a t206 cy young when I was 16 (6 years ago), thinking about how cool I was. My friends are big sports fans, and they didn't even find it cool. Card collecting isn't mainstream anymore, and will probably never be.
Best way to bring cards back into the mainstream is to just make one set of cards a year. That would give collector's less of a headache in trying to figure out the different types of modern sets. Problem is, from a business stand point, it doesn't make any sesne.
