Is Topps Finally Back on Track or Just Fashionably Late? Join the Debate! 

The recent buzz around the 2024 Topps Holiday set has sparked quite a debate among collectors, and I want to dive into it with all of you. It seems like this year's design has either hit the mark or missed it entirely, depending on who you ask. Some collectors are raving about the over-the-top, splashy designs, while others are calling them gaudy and too modern.

What do you think? Are these bold designs a refreshing change, or do they detract from the classic feel of baseball cards?

Moreover, the ongoing delays in card releases have become a common theme in the hobby. With Topps struggling to keep up with schedules, do you think this trend of late releases is something we should just accept as part of the new normal? Or should collectors demand better from the companies we support?

And let's not forget about the experience of opening these cards. The anticipation, the smell of the new cards, and the thrill of finding that elusive Shohei Ohtani or Andy Pages card—how does that compare to the frustration of delayed shipments and empty shelves at your local stores?

I also want to hear your bold predictions for the future of card collecting. Will we see a resurgence of classic designs, or are we headed for even more experimental aesthetics?
