I sometimes wonder what if I started to collect in 1986 or 1988, whether I would have continued collecting. I also enjoy 1990 Topps, probably all the colors.<br /><br />I thought this time was dubbed the Parallel Era...maybe that's too sci-fi? Junk Wax implies there's cases of unopened 2018 Topps waiting to be sold for $5 in 20 years...Jafroniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946965301520580238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-72989412229944910872019-11-20T10:09:43.708-05:002019-11-20T10:09:43.708-05:00Off the top of my head, I'd say 1987 Topps, 19...Off the top of my head, I'd say 1987 Topps, 1990 Leaf, 1992 Fleer Ultra.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-28279635405085552572019-11-19T10:05:18.630-05:002019-11-19T10:05:18.630-05:001987 Topps was also my first real set that I colle...1987 Topps was also my first real set that I collected. It still holds a special allure for me.<br /><br />I picked up on the rookie card absurdity back when Aaron Judge mania hit the hobby. It's getting to the point where the only valuable rookie cards will be printing plates.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362273891780713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-65743631586247446162019-11-19T08:32:07.885-05:002019-11-19T08:32:07.885-05:00I'm ready for Topps to give 1987 a rest.

Between Archives and Heritage, you get 4-5 retreads, and then there are other parallels that add to, plus inserts like "iconic rookie cards, Berger's best, etc."<br /><br />Anyways, what I mostly miss is innovation. It's a lot easier to just bring back an old design than do something new, fresh, and exciting.The Lost Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281282785351456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-23745539661111525182019-11-19T00:00:56.027-05:002019-11-19T00:00:56.027-05:00It is the beginning of Junk Wax 2.0.

The companies are paying huge fees to keep the licensing exclusive, so they are running the presses raged to make money.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-15654550239063936812019-11-18T22:03:14.625-05:002019-11-18T22:03:14.625-05:00I started to research a post about the pre-rookie ...I started to research a post about the pre-rookie cards of the new upcoming prospects. Amazing numbers of cards, mostly autos, of guys that haven't done a thing yet.

They may not be producing a million copies of a single card anymore, but they are still producing way too much each year. It's just split up between different sets now.<br /><br />I guess we'll see...Base Card Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654531516609282355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-27239168134103609822019-11-18T21:57:37.618-05:002019-11-18T21:57:37.618-05:00I agree that there are way too many parallels bein...I agree that there are way too many parallels being produced now.Brad Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516191830491361323noreply@blogger.com
