End of Etopps

My last one.


The Etopps program was on its last legs when I got back into collecting, and by the time I bought my first card, the program was for all intents and purposes dead.  It took over half a year to get that initial card of Darwin Barney.  During the wait, Topps announced that they were not going to produce any new Etopps cards.  There has hardly a peep out of collectors.


I found only two other cards that I had any interest in, of Ernie Banks and this one...





....of Ryne Sandberg.  Its a nice refractor type card and its got an official Topps sticker on the back.  But otherwise, bah.


So long, Etopps.  We hardly knew 'ya and we won't miss 'ya.

  1. It's now 2021 and still nothing to show for our efforts. Still can't take delivery of our cards without paying exorbitant shipping fees. Most cards are worthless, only because of the way Topps limited how you could sell the cards. I am surprised there hasn't been a class-action lawsuit.
