I'm glad I'm a vintage collector-Interesting article about hobby
Posted By: tbob
Am I the only one who thinks the beginning of the end for modern cards was when Topps lost its monopoly in the law suit to Fleer in 1981? Normally monopolies are a bad thing but in this case, it allowed a little order and sanity in the modern card market. True, Topps' offerings from 1973 until 1980 were pretty poor looking aesthetically but the debacle that followed the law suit has crippled the card industry and I predict it will never pull out again.
