I think all of these ideas are good, and mine is similar to those many others posted here.
I think that Topps should reassess their cost/pricing structure and stop producing so damn many GU and auto cards. Make these cards well-designed and VERY hard to pull. Bring back cool inserts for a box by box chase, and make these other "hits" true chase cards. They are afraid that too many collectors have become addicted to x number of hits per box, and they may be right, but I think that they could bring costs WAY down if they only purchased a few GU pieces a year and signed only a few big name players each year to auto contracts.
I think it could be a winning strategy if done right, and with no competitor in the licensed market, they wouldn't have to worry about an arms race.
Of course, it could also be the siver bullet that destroys the company.
