So I haven't really deviated from Topps Blacks besides the ones I purchase for my Rockies team sets the past few years. That changed yesterday - something told me to not let this sit on eBay for $75 (I hope I made a solid play):

So am I missing something, or after all that work to save the Blacks, Topps immediately axed them again in 2025 Update? I am only seeing the different foil /10 parallels on checklists and out in the wild, and not the non-foil /74

I thought the black ink was the cheapest. Lame decision.

I'm guessing it is more incompetence, than purposefully omitting the /74 blacks.

Someone mentioned in the '25 Topps Update thread that it looks like they used the '25 series 1 templates to print '25 Update (series 1 vintage stock serial #s are on the card back, series 2 card front, update card back). Since all the blacks /74 for both series were in series 2, the template for that particular parallel wasn't available in series 1. Not sure how accurate this information is, but it does make sense.

It still sucks regardless and I truly hope this was a major oversight, not permanent removal from the product.

That was me and my guess. It makes too much sense.
