And in 1975 they helped a guy put out a set of Photographers all dressed in baseball gear, including Ansel Adams, that also gets good money now



And trying to complete a Topps 1971 set of Topps Winners, photos of kids who won a send away contest, is near impossible and expensive today

Not sure about the future of the Easter Bunny but there is a cheaper Topps Santa issue

Those are pretty cool! However, there is something about Topps charging collectors for what they do and pulling a marketing assistant's autograph in lieu of a sports star or celebrity - or manufactured bunny fur LOL (I can't believe I just said manufactured bunny fur). I'm all for collecting what people care to collect, but stuff like that has made me narrow my collecting focus over the years.

By the way, is that THE Ansel Adams or a relative of his. If so that would be damn neat. Thanks for sharing those.
