How to UNDERSTAND current Topps cards
I am completely out of the loop with Topps current production. I understand Topps is the ONLY company to produce bb cards now? Topps has more than one set of cards each year obviously.
I want a 2015 Bryce Harper but when I type that in ebay I get an ungodly amount of cards! How do you find just the REGULAR current production Topps? Is there such a thing? Thanks.

If base Topps is strictly what you are looking for he is #207. Add that to your search input and it should clear it out for you.

just incidentally the topps "chrome" and bowman "chrome" cards typically look better in my opinion. the topps "paper" and topps "chrome" will have the same pic, the chrome is just on a bit nicer stock. same story with bowman, but the pic is different than the topps product.
IMHO, the nicest looking cards out this year is the topps stadium club set. it has a nice candid portrait of harper. not an action shot, but full bleed photo with nice stock. unobtrusive lettering, etc. |

Topps is also not the only company to produce baseball cards. There is a new reincarnation of Leaf, and Panini also makes multiple sets. Those companies just don't have the MLB license to show players in uniforms with logos or use team logos on the cards. But some people will also call the Topps set the base set or paper set or flagship set.

At least my local hobby shop owner is always very nice and patient with me when I visit, as I ask him: 1. What's the best product for you currently (what's moving)? 2. What's not moving? 3. What's the nicest looking product currently? Evidently Panini's products, even without the full license, do VERY well. The hobby shop owner told me he has a customer that buys 60-80 boxes of a particular product every year. WOW. I always end up gravitating to whatever modern card set features older players (or players I grew up with), so maybe the current game look and feel has left me behind? |

Topps is a great investment. I just got a 2015 Topps BB Set for Christmas at Target for around $ 50, I bought a 1988, 1989 and 1990 set for $ 5.00 each.

Last year I got to thinking just maybe I should have at least one Jeter, Kershaw, deGrom, and a few other guys. Then I took a look on eBay and was like, I don't even know where I am! It was like being in a Starbucks and just wanting a plain old coffee.

That's why in today's new card world -- you almost need an Beckett OPG subscription.,

Are card whisperers expensive and has it worked for you?
