I agree. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Topps is willing to release any Indians cards anymore as we haven't gotten any since the official name change. I'm glad they got Thome and Lofton in before that happened. They can still just do like Paige and just say Cleveland on the card but I like seeing the city name and the team name on the card. Just like I don't like how they only say "Angels" for the current players (at least for retired guys they list out Anaheim or California depending on the era).
