How do you feel about companies using old designs on new cards

Topps has been doing this for 60 years...


1948 and 1955 Hocus Focus, modeled after many "spit" cards of the 1930-40s
1951, 1968 game cards, modeled after many game cards of the 1910-1930s
1951, 1964 die-cut standups, modeled after R318 and V300
1955 doubleheader, modeled after T201
1956 pins, modeled after P2 etc.
1960 etc tattoos, modeled after the couple 1909-1920s German issues
1961, 1962, 1969, 1974 stamps, modeled after T332
1964, 1971 Coins, modeled after Salada etc.
1970, 1972, 1973 lids, modeled after Dixie Lids

I'll pick up a modern pack of Topps here and there and I like when I get cards like these in the packs........it's not like getting a new T206 in the mail or anything, but sort of fun in its own way.

In away they are showing tribute to the old styles like ford did with the mustang and chevy with the camaro

After seeing that Gypsy Queen Pujols I wanted to laugh. They should have at least tried to make it look like a Gypsy Queen card by using a more sepia type of image. I did like the 56 Topps style card of Cobb.

Overall, I figure that the attempts to recreate the vintage look isn't too bad. It might actually get collectors interested in the "real" part of the hobby. I shouldn't bash or look down upon modern material collectors. To each their own.

In 2007 Topps did a Turkey Red themed set, It's what got me back into collecting. More so the Red Bordered Parallels.

I like the modern "Mini" cards.

I like them, some more than others.

2009 upper deck Goudey is directly responsible for my turn to prewar. More specifically because my ebay searches for 2009 goudey reveal original pre war Goudey.

I collected the 2009 UD Goudey Base Set, then 2009 Topps A&G Base set, 2009 A&G mini parallel with various backs and frames.

By the time I finished those, I had picked up a 33 Goudey Travis Jackson and a T205 Merkle just to say I had one. Then I caught the pre war bug and stopped "wasting my money on modern crap"
