+1000. Today's sports cards are nothing more than glorified lotteries, w desecrated pieces of shirts, balls, bats, cut sigs, SIGNED balls cut up, and ten different versions of the same card, autographed and numbered. It is nothing but a glorified form of gambling. The saddest thing is you see people, adults and kids (tho how they can afford it is beyond me), buying these packs of cards, looking for the "chase" card and basically caring little or nothing about the others. Its sad. Add that to the crooks who weight/metal detect packs and etc, and sell them to the kids at a huge profit, where the kids can't go to stores, buy a couple packs and have a chance at something.
Its disguisting IMO, and makes me long for the days of being excited opening a pack of 1975 topps my mom got me at the store, chewing the pink and FRESH most times, gum, and jumping around when a REGULAR HANK AARON card with that famous profile shot, jumped out of the pack at me.
I better hurry tho, my local shop has got a deal on Topps glowamania packs. Look for the "randomly inserted" glow in the dark cards, numbered to ten, and the rare invisible ink signed cards too.
