Re: Topps Launches 3D Sports Trading Cards

I was actually wondering the other day how all the baseball card companies are doing these days.

I had a huge collection as a kid and my dad still has his huge collection including Roberto Clemente and Hank Aaron rookie cards among many others.

Now-a-days though I wouldn't recommend my kid to collect them as the whole industry seems to have been ruined. (not even referring to these 3D cards)

The only cards that are worth any money are the ones that are randomly inserted in 1 out of every 10,000 packs. Plus the cost for packs now are absurd.

These 3D cards are a cool novelty but can't see them being huge collectors item's down the road since every release is dubbed as a "rare collector's item."
