Topps only cares about one thing, selling product. Speculators (not collectors) are 99% of their business, and the gamblers purchasing new packs of cards have short memories because they are likely to sell that card as soon as it gets hot.

Dan:

That depends on which product. I guarantee you for issues such as Opening Day, and Basic Topps Series 1, 2 and Update and even Heritage it is not for speculators but for everyday collectors

Now issues such as Triple Threads or that ilk, yes those are for speculators to a large extent. Bowman and Bowman CHrome are more towards a mix.

Can't always put everything in the same sphere

Nothing against you Bill, but I have to disagree. I don't understand how some people are upset Topps inserted chrome autos of a player that were selling for $400-$500 upon release (and $200-$250 still) in product that almost always would yield $30 in resale value.
