Topps is doing well from multiple aspects. According to at least one source, baseball cards are “a hit again”.
But……don’t ya kind of miss having Upper Deck in the MLB-licensed baseball card game? When Fleer and Donruss left the baseball card game, I personally missed their card releases. Again, now that Upper Deck is not producing MLB-licensed baseball cards, don’t you kind of miss them?
If you were one of the collectors who went to their local baseball card shop and bought packs of 1989 Upper Deck baseball cards, then it’s a good bet that if you’re still a collector you miss Upper Deck’s “officially licensed” baseball card releases. After all, Upper Deck made one of the most sought after baseball cards of all-time in the 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card, didn’t they?
I miss Upper Deck… competition is a good thing and the more the merrier in my book. I just wish that each company was limited to only 2 or 3 products per sport each year.
