As a business owner, I can't blame Topps for doing something that works. Are they supposed to release cheap junk wax, or adapt to the market? I would dread the news that they failed like so many other heritage businesses have. If this vertical market pursuit pays off for them then great.

Agree, but I wish standard Topps flagship price would stabilize and decline. Last year jumbo packs were $36!

I wish they'd put some effort into each year's base set. For the past several years now, it looks like they let the interns play with photoshop call it a day. I get that they have an exclusive license but still; they still put out some nice sets from 1956-1980, the last time they had a monopoly.
