The order of topps cards?
Hey All,
The title says it all. Has it ever been explicated just HOW Topps decided the order of its cards? I mean, apart from the fact that Ted Williams contractually stipulated his card be first in a number of sets, the rest just seem random. I read one suggestion that the cards were in the order in which the players signed their contract, but that doesn't really hold water given Topps clearly strategically placed star cards throughout the series to keep the kids buying. I mean, like why would they kick off with Andy Pafko in '52, as opposed to someone with more cache as they did with Jackie Robinson or Ted Williams later on?
