1952 Topps Set Break by burlssports ~ Break Complete

I wholeheartedly agree with the last post. If a set break is gambling then so is buying a pack of baseball cards. But the better question is - who cares? As others have alluded to - I have dreams about opening a pack of 52 Topps and these set breaks are literally like opening a one card pack. This is exactly why everyone who collects got info the hobby as a kid - the chase. All this legalese around whether it qualifies as gambling is really missing the point which is that IT IS FUN. It brought happiness to hundreds of people on this board which is truly priceless.

We are all fortunate enough to be able to spend spare money on old cardboard simply because we love it. Life is truly short - too short to not enjoy our true privilege of opening a giant awesome pack of old baseball cards so let's loosen our collars up and just smile!

I've participated in Justin's set breaks and will again in the future. I support him on Facebook and Twitter through sharing and retweeting and will continue to do so.

If you don't like set breaks, move on. What do you hope to accomplish by posting your opinions here? I'm sure there are things you do, say or think in life that I don't agree with. Unless it affects me, I have no need to say a thing. My participation in a set break doesn't affect anyone but myself. Move along.

A break like this one is the only chance I will ever have to own a copy of one of the most iconic cards in our HOBBY (as a side note, hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable, not filled with drama). I take the same chance when I open a pack of cards.

Keep doing what you do, Justin and Leon. I've dealt with both of you either in person at shows (Leon) or through the joy of the interwebz (Justin) and you've both always done right by me! Thanks to both of you for doing what you do.
