Topps, Really? Does this make any business sense in the world?

This has to hurt the LCS. Instead of having a new product now and a new product a month from now, the LCS has 2 new products now.

Even Master P knows this is ludicrous. Back in the late 90's No Limit Records would release an album every single Tuesday. This would be like releasing a TRU album on Tuesday and Big Ed the Assassin CD on Friday. Just plain dumb.
I couldn't agree more here.

The only upcoming Topps product I plan on buying is Mars Attacks 2013.

Well, speaking for myself and anyone else buying boxes/cases, I'm pretty pissed at the compressed schedule. I committed to a number of Finest cases months ago and I still think it's going to be a great product.

BUT.

With Chrome (both, I guess) released just a week before due to all the delays, collector dollars are going to be spread out amongst all the releases rather than focused on one at a time. And sure this is good for buyers (which I normally am), but it's terrible for casebreakers that committed to Topps products. And early, which Topps claims they use to plan the releases and the redemptions and whatnot. So basically, they want you to commit to a product they haven't disclosed the contents of, then they decide what to include, then it's pushed back into football season.

F'n Topps. Looking forward to Masterworks more and more.

MOM! I WON INTERNETZ TODAY....sorry my caps lock key was stuck.

hah but honestly that was the first company that came to mind. They released something every damn week and it always sold regardless if it was garbage or not.

No Mia X reference ? Crazy thing is each album sold 500k+, lucky to sell 5k now.

To the card point, it doesn't make a lot of sense. With a monopoly to run licensed product, for some reason I'm still surprised by some if the moves they make.

I think TC was done well this year, but with BC release it basically gets pushed to the side and forgotten. Even the biggest pull 1/1 Puig got pushed to the side so fast when the BC one was hit.

Oh well, someone there must think differently than most / all of us

How badass were they? Damn, some saw The Beatles in their prime, we were witness to the No Limit dominance.

Lucky.
