I think it was great that Topps released their Topps T206 product several years back. It introduced alot of new collectors to the classic set and perhaps created new followers. But this time around, with the stamping of original cards as 1/1's, it has ruined the value of the cards under the guise of creating a 'rarer' product. You don't mess with perfection!

I don't really hate this as much as I hate a chopped up, game worn jersey. Topps is just catering to the audience; newer collectors like artificial rarity. Whether I agree with this or not, I can't really fault Topps.

Why couldn't they have just put the cards in those custom card sized holders like they did with the other buybacks and just stamped the cardboard holder instead of the actual card? I don't get it.

Because all the cards in this set were minis; the packs look like cigarette packs. Oversized cards would stick out immediately and be searchable.

Thanks for clarifying John. I didn't know that. Cool idea to have packs the size of old cigarette packs and only have minis in the set. But stamping an original T206 is just not right.

How can you blame them? It was just a common card before now it is a 1/1.

Some people are fans of serial killers...

After all, they're just catering to the audience...

Yes, I can fault Topps, just as I do for Pannini who only cuts up stuff for US products. (And Topps for cutting stuff up as well )

Think your comparison is a little off.

Whoa, he got a green one! Whoa, he got a pink one! Whoa, he got a yellow one! Whoa, he got a card that looks like a child made it! I can't believe today's crap! They'll never equal what pre war ever did.

After seeing this thread, I went and found this card on ebay. While it sold as best offer, I about fell over when I saw this because regardless of what it went for, you know it went for WAY too much.
