3 best. 3 worst Topps issues

[onlyvintage62]

Point Taken Those are gorgeous!! But always wondered why they changed design. Given the know fact that TOPPS was somewhat cost conscious to say the least why the change. I had heard that it tested poorly and had gotten a bad reaction.

Does anybody have any insight?

62--when you say change in design are you referring to differences in the burlap background ?

Those sure are great cards Bob

A lot of people aren't enamored by the "wide mesh" burlap in the first series and a half or so. I prefer the wide mesh, but that's not what I like best about the first series. It's just that the photos, lighting, and colors seem more vibrant. I'd have trouble choosing nine cards in the remaining series that catch my eye like these do. The poses also start repeating themselves in the later series (big head-no hat, just about to swing, just about to pitch, just about to stop squatting, I'm a manager and I like to shout, etc.). Exceptional cards:
