Honestly, this is a money grab for Topps. The regular season factory team sets go for $4.99 and there are 17 cards. The World Series edition, with two less cards is going for 20 bucks. Four times the price for two less cards. A money grab.
You should have noticed right away that most of these are aligned horizontally. That's a bummer for me. The cards go in sheets in a binder and the sheets are vertically aligned. When I want to look at theses, I have to turn the binder instead of just being able to page through the sheets.
The backs have a small write-up and some game details
I picked up the boxed set but not the blister. I agree about the price and am keeping an eye out for an offseason steal.
ReplyDeleteIts a money grab but then again the card are for the emotional pull. Personally for me I would have rather seen the more traditional (i.e late 1960s or early 2003) type of World Series or playoff card set. A card for every World Series or Playoff game (even games they lost). I doubt we will be getting this in the 2017 Topps set. NBA Hoops does all the NBA playoff games as an insert set. Topps should think about doing this also.
