Sure, Topps produces way too many different sets (actually they have to in their contract with the MLB), but your childhood was a lot different than the kids growing up today. One set of 600 cards is boring, and a sure way to kill off the collecting vibe. But they do make sets like Opening Day for just this reason; inexpensive ways for kids to collect. In the past year, I've donated 10,000 cards (sports/nonsports) from the 80s to 2018 to my wife's school kids, and they're thrilled with them. They're from a rural area and probably can't afford them, and it's a good way for me to clean out the clutter from the one or two collections I buy a year.

Before we romantacise Mr Goudey, didn't he intentionally omit a card from his set to get kids to keep buying packs?
Also, while there are an abundance of Jordan base cards, there are a few rare ones that not many people know about. That's why this hobby is so great. Something for everyone. |
