Weird. I figured if Topps ever lost the license, it would at least go to Upper Deck or some company I've heard of. Meh, Topps did themselves in by going the route of charging ever more money for a pack of cards. I miss the bygone days of my youth, when I could get two for a buck. Probably was even less for a lot of you guys.
The good ol' 80s, when Donruss would print enough of those puppies to endanger a Pacific Northwest forest. When three, then four, then five companies were making cards...and then Upper Deck got all upscale, and charged the princely sum of 89 cents a pack! What's wrong with you guys, my grandma ain't made of money!
Remember when it was a hobby for kids? Yeah, it's been a bit. I can't think of the last company that didn't try to milk every last dollar out of sports cards. Maybe Pro Set, but they didn't last long, alas. To heck with those snot-nosed punks, they ain't got any cash!
