Anyone read this yet? I just got the new issue.....
I knew the hobby was in trouble, but this article makes me see the hobby as broken as I am cash broke.
I don't think it's the last iconic card though... sure, The '89 UD Griffey was the ONLY RC until traded and update issues were released...and it is a Beautiful card.... I have to say that even though Pujols had 40+ RC's.... the BC Auto might be the "last iconic" card for most of us.
It's a good article...takes me back a bit, but they also manage to complain about Topps new exclusive MLB deal... but heck, considering the numbers stated in the story...seems like it's time to strap down.
anyway...it's online as well:
