Anyone changing their collecting plans when Topps is gone?

100% completely agree...and that reason is why I am continuing to do duplicate vintage sets...

I will admit though that I do love sorting a complete set, and putting them into a binder. Takes time, but satisfying. That's a lot of real estate though, 90 - 2025!
