2010 Topps football a recycled design

[f2tornado]

Here is the 2002 Topps Post Baseball set...

and here is the 2010 Topps Football set...

The primary difference in the football set is the secondary shadow that wraps around the card is gone. The player name uses a different font and player position was moved to lower left. I hope this card designer was paid minimum wage because that is all his effort would be worth.

Very original!

I'm not all that surprised. Just about everything is recycled in one way or another. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, I think Topps is the cheapest type of card Topps makes now. You would want to blow the one good idea a design team has in a year* on regular old Topps right?

*I'm giving WAY more credit than they deserve. In reality, it should be one good idea each decade.

I said the same thing over on the baseball board when the 2010 Topps Baseball preview came out.

Yep lots of similarity there. I like this years Topps set. They look nice and I like the insert themes. Plus it's fun to get the Gridiron Giveaway cards, and even though I haven't scored anything great, it's fun to put the code in and see what ya got.
