I am writing a little something about the 1996 Topps Mantle reprints...but since I was so young when this set came out I was hoping to get your thoughts.
The Mantle reprints were a big deal to me...but were they a big deal to collectors at large? I mean, were people really hunting them down? I know that Topps printed the hell out of this set, so the they are not worth much now...
Also, since the next year the put out Mays...did the popularity of these reprints play any role in the Topps pushing the Heritage sets out?
Thanks!
Off topic: man, I wish there was a way to see historic Beckett or Tuff Stuff hotlists. It would be a lot of fun to go back to, say, June of 1997 and see what people were paying for.
