Break Out Topps Buy-Backs?

They might command a premium but I suspect they are less liquid. Fewer people collect these and therefore that premium might be harder to realize.

I guess I am in the minority but I don't understand the appeal of the Topps Buy Back cards. What happened is Topps contacted dealers like Kit Young and bought up his G/VG cards and threw them in the "holders." I just don't understand the appeal.

I would think the appeal is not necessarily to seasoned collectors, but to kids and adults who like to buy packs but aren't necessarily "in the hobby"... to them, pulling a genuine old card (no matter who the player is) from a pack probably would be a thrill.

You never know if a buyback card pulled today might be the first step in the journey of some great collection of the 2050s or 2060s.

I have a VG Hugh Duffy in a buy back - I think it's kind of cool so have left it in even though all my other ones are graded.
