Being a set builder, it sucks. I have only cared about building 2 sets since 2014.

However, it is not necessarily Topps or Panini's fault there are minimal new stars or prospects... or those that do materialize, are instantly over priced.

I mention breakers... there is no denying their increased role has changed the hobby. They can handle breaking expensive product, the younger collectors seem to enjoy watching breakers.. and that just fuels the trend to expensive product. The times are a changing
Breakers have ruined the hobby because what you used to spend on a box, you now spend on a few spots in a break. It's crappy and has completely wax. Fanatics is only going to make it worse, it's no wonder they also operate their own gambling company on top of Fanatics Live, which is also basically a gambling company.
