Heritage vintage buybacks at least have a focus of some kind (although I doubt they put the full set in packs).<br /><br />I understand your plight but I get around this nonsense by only player collecting things with a print run over 50. There's no way they stamped over 50 of each card, so I'm safe!Community Gumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296365794796762616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-67709759784861662592015-08-09T23:18:43.061-04:002015-08-09T23:18:43.061-04:00I guess this is where my threshold is as a player ...I guess this is where my threshold is as a player collector.

I've even been looking at one of these 2015 A&G buybacks, but I haven't yet pulled the trigger on it. It's so dumb, but I kind of need the card for my collection. The struggle is real.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-64157695044067044132015-08-09T21:52:51.508-04:002015-08-09T21:52:51.508-04:00Haters gonna hate and PCers gonna PC.
I don't ...Haters gonna hate and PCers gonna PC.<br />I don't think anyone really cares for these buybacks, but when you collect a guy and Topps does something like this, they pretty much have you over a barrel. <br /><br />You did what you had to do. Respect.

I think it's stupid - I also think taking beautiful vintage and stamping it with a Topps logo is akin to cardboard murder. For the record, I also think the Bowman reprints (the sapphire reprints from a couple years ago and the the diamond reprints from last year) are stupid. The product in both cases is expensive enough...I don't need some goofy gimmick like this in a pack when I would prefer the couple of cards it replaced in my set build. Anyway, I'll step off my soapbox.J. Meekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830525401401962671noreply@blogger.com
