Used to buy the new rookie card sets (draft pick/future prospects etc) just to have any future no-no, 20 game winner, Cy young winner etc. But now just buy the individual rc. It's kind of funny because now when I go to the local card shop, he usually has the rc I'm looking for all ready to go

Dude, that is seriously awesome! I mean, granted, it's not vintage, but the secondary market on that card is hot....for some reason, his stuff sells like crazy lol

Super lucky!

I've been active in the hobby since 1972 and am happy to say that I enjoy my modern Topps Heritage cards as much as I do my old Rose Co. baseball postcards. Depends on the day and the mood - that's the beauty of our hobby.

I buy several packs of the retro sets each year so I have something to get signed when I got to the ballpark and spring training.

I like those poses, Martin. I just wish, for all the money Topps has, that they would go the distance and actually try to replicate the lithography style of the 1909-11 T206 set, instead of putting together designs that look like they placed a picture of the player in Photoshop and surrounded him with an old-looking border.

If anyone had the scratch to put together a world-class retro-looking set, it was Topps.
