Default Topps reprints

Not sure. Is it your understanding the 54 Reprints sold as well as the 52s and 53s ? I have the regular sets, but did buy the reprints as well. In my mind the 54 issue was a big disappointment because you had to spend a fair amount of extra money to "complete" that set with the 2 Upper Deck Williams cards, and if you were so inclined the UD Mantle card. Plus they did a "Gold" 54 reprint too ( pack inserts) and am not sure how that may have impacted their margins/sales of both products. Plus, if you take a look at the listing for Topps baseball in SCD ( 2011 catalog) for 1994 there are 9 sets/items listed, including the two 54 reprints. In 1995 there are 19 listings. Alternative Topps products really started to proliferate after 1994
