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

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"

I think this was a great idea but don't understand why they left the hole in the plastic over the auto. They changed it the next year .

I don't like it. I feel like the card companies are getting more like Hollywood. Out of new ideas so all the majority of new productions are remakes. Yuck.

I think its fantastic.

First of all, Topps continues to make their regular, standard "new" sets each year (the 2010 Topps set, which my 10-year-old collects, is one of the most beautiful card sets ever, IMO).

Second, I think they're doing a great job showing reverence and respect for the history of the hobby, as well as the history of the game. They have absolutely gotten my son interested in vintage cards, and vintage baseball in general. And I just think a lot of them look really COOL. The A&G cards are fantastic.

They also made some really, really cool "B-18 Blankets" that looked virtually identical to the originals - one of these days I'm going to build a set of them.
