If it's like the 2012 edition, the autographs will be super weak, with star players near impossible. At least the short prints and inserts are popular, and I guess the topps vault contracts are cool.

I have the checklist if anyone would like me to email it to them.

Mario1975 · Dec 21, 2012

I know I'm probably in the minority but actually miss the way archives used to be, where they would actually reprint an entire iconic set. I think if they tweaked that concept a little bit, by maybe including some insert sets, autos and game used, it could be a pretty cool product. Only problem is they probably can't make such a set anymore because of their contract with mlb.

I like the Archives set. The tall boy addition is stupid since it's a FOOTBALL design. I hope the triple autos are on reprints of classic cards with all 3 players pictured (like team star cards).

rico08 · Dec 21, 2012

Most of my customers who enjoyed the Archives of old were only marginally satisfied with the 2012 product. Some complaints were crummy card stock, boring base set, boring autographs, boring SPs, boring stickers, boring 3D cards, etc.

Glad to see its back but I hope they can improve a lot on last years' release.

I would love to see the checklist. Thanks

Brewer Andy · Dec 21, 2012

I'd like to see the checklist as well! And the thing I always liked about these sets were the player selection for autos. Not everyone is looking for a Harper or Pujols auto. List looks pretty nice. I probably would have avoided the 1990 design altogether and I agree that the tall boys are a stupid idea (another instance of Topps over doing something that worked once) and not sure we need a basketball design but I'll reserve judgement on that one till I see it

pm email address please

Very disappointed that the 3-D set isn't returning for another go-around. I've built it the last two years.

uniquebaseballcards · Dec 21, 2012

Card stock aside, isn't this set essentially the same as Heritage?

Heritage with multiple designs and reprints.

Maybe, but I collected in the 80s not the 60s

Did Topps stick with the ultra thin card stock this year? I like the Football and Baseball concepts, coming out a month apart is odd, the drawback for me and why I don't purchase more is the super thin stock.

It's impossible to tell from the mock ups, but knowing Topps I'm sure they've used the thinnest, cheapest stock they can budget.

tonsofcommons · Jan 28, 2013

Yeah. I liked the idea, but the card stock seemed like it was cheaper than regular topps!

And it's not likely that they will put it in the sell sheet......"Hey we also used regular card stock.....not the flimsy stock we use in the regular issue...."

Have to buy a box, with hope............ and then be mildly disappointed.

This seems like an odd thing to care about unless you're still putting these things in your bike spokes.

I loved these cards and bought several blasters. I could tell they were thinner but it didn't take away from my appreciation of them at all. The depth of the card does nothing but make it more expensive. Unless they start printing along the sides (trademarked idea Mudcatsfan)Who cares?
