Default Why Topps Archives Stopped At 1954???

I can't help but notice that the Topps Heritage cards are getting as much buzz as any of their current offerings. Which brings me to my question.....Why did Topps stop their Achive sets in 1995 with the 1955 set?
They sold well in the excess-product era and I recall that Topps came out with a statement at the news of the release of the 1955 set that the 1983/1952 and 1991/1953 reprint sets not only did no harm to the value of the originals but seemed to have increased their values by spurring interest. So why no continuation of the complete sets beyond those years rather than the endless hodge-podge of insert reprint releases that followed?
