Think about how awesome it would be if there were a ton of inserts in the 50's. We could all have "base" Mantle, Maris, Aaron rookies stockpiled!

If you're a player collector completist in this day and age, you're a moron.
I think he meant it's just not feasible...
I dont mind different colors, but there is definitely too many today. I think proof is that often Blue Refractors #'d to /99 or even /150 often sell for more than Green /75 or the waves /50.
eh i dont know. Point I was trying to make is that the old stalwarts [blue, gold] seem to be holding their popularity very well compared to the newer colors that are all getting lost in the shuffle/ losing value
Amen!The good news for those of you that don't like the new stuff, there is alway old stuff to chase.
The great thing about this hobby is you can buy what you like and ignore the rest.
Man, I really miss cards that came in food products and other oddballs.The one element of the hobby and cards which is lacking today are oddballs...food issues, local issues, team issues, etc. I just don't see many of these mini-sets being released, I think it reflects the lack of interest for baseball cards in the general public. The amount of oddballs in past mirrored the interest in cards, and now with that dwindling, corporations can't justify creating cards as an incentive to sell a product.
Truth. If you think nothing good is coming out, go back to stuff you like. If you think too many parallels is overkill, just do the ones you like. Hate GU? Do base sets. Hate everything?? Make customs!
Couldn't agree more. I actually like that there's more than I can ever possibly have - keeps the chase going on, rather than just getting everything and then being done with the collection. That being said, I'd like to see that "more" come from more than just one company, but that's a whole different argument.
As long as you can get over that completist mentality (which, trust me, I know, is pretty hard), it's nice that we have so many choices.
