These were crazy expensive, which kept the print runs extremely low for some teams. This could make things expensive for team and player collectors.

download the images, print on card stock, probably good enough for personal use of a lot of team collectors! ;)

Interesting. There are some pretty low numbers there for teams with good players. Agree it will create an interesting dynamic for player collectors. Also is an interesting barometer for how rabid each team's collector base is.

I'm not sure if you are serious or not, but it is hard for me to imagine any serious collector being satisfied with this. Having mouschi make a Grifey Crusade or a 1952 Mantle just wouldn't be the same.

I'm referring to the topic of the Topps Now Road to Opening Day sets. If you are a Rockies collector with only like 38 sets claimed, wouldn't you likely be satisfied to print your own for your personal PC rather than hope that someday a Rockies legit set comes up for sale?

I would not. Once again, if we are talking about cards printed in limited supply, would a Griffey collector be satisfied with a home printed copy of a Crusade, since there are only 25 copies of each? Would a player collector be happy completing a rainbow with a homemade superfractor? I don't know what would make a team collector any different.

I've honestly never heard of collectors printing their own versions of hard to find cards. I'm not aware of any collectors that print superfractors to complete rainbows. I'm not aware of set collectors that print off the last few cards they need to complete a set. I'm not aware of team collectors that print team sets. I'm not judging. This is just a concept I haven't heard of before and I'm not aware of anyone that collects that way.

Is this something that you do to fill in gaps in your collection? I'm just curious.
