Earlier this year I was pretty pessimistic about the possibility of many more new Vizquel cards finding their way to my collection. Upper Deck is gone, Omar is in the twilight of his career, and is in barely anything these days. Then Topps Update comes along, and BINGO! Four new cards puts me squarely at 1,900 different cards on Beckett's list. Wouldn't you know, #1,900 was the base card.
It makes me wonder how many new Vizquel cards will be released from here on out. I'm sure Topps doesn't see much value including him in their products at this point, especially if he retires. MAYBE on a few rare occasions, but I can't imagine more than a few cards every couple years. If he happens to make the HOF then he'll surely pop up in some products but probably not many.
So considering that, I think about what my collection will look like at the end of 2011. And the year after, in 5 years, 10 years, etc. It's a tall order to think I'll track down another 100 cards and make it to 2,000. Heck, it's very possible I don't add another 50 cards. And that's a very weird feeling...
