Anyone considering adding any cards from the new Topps Tribute release?

Not me. I avoid Topps like the plague. Too many post-playing day jerseys (Mantle), fungo bats (Ruth), and stadium seats being represented as "bats" for my taste.

What year did all this start or has it always been this way? I have quite a few 01-03 Tribute GU cards and would dump them if i knew they were stadium seats

'01-'03 Tribute is solid. I start to 'worry' at 2006 with Topps.

After reviewing this thread I conclude that I am the only one without a Kaline patch. Envy therefore forces it onto my want list.

I think this is pretty well said. I no longer trust topps and their gu items starting around when topps sterling was created. I do have a '06 sterling berra au & 4 piece in the pc because it looks nice but that's about it for my retired topps gu. I honestly believe their newer relics are from other players' game worn stuff.

A non-baseball piece ends tonight - [phil:390sn68u]370501664835[/phil:390sn68u] - Thorpe. This brings the question to mind, what GU from basketball, football, hockey would fall into a similar sort of category for you?

Bears Gamers produce a lot of nice colors. Looking at Turner and Luckman DLP sure limited the production of these players and the patches.
