I’ve been a big fan of the full-photography, no border look, but I think if Topps is going to compete with panini design-wise, a big border that accentuates a parallel is a good step forward.

I think they’re going to have a more permanent place on the lower rungs of certain RCs, especially people like Soto who don’t have as many flagship options.

I don’t think they’ll ever be tops (pun...

Can’t wait until Soto has a “Kaboom!” insert like Tatis. I’ll never be able to afford it or anything, but I look forward to seeing one of your guys’ gorgeous photos of it.

Is the "scarcity" of TCU the main driver?
