Joe, you hit the nail on the head! As writers, we all get a kick out of creating great spoofs of products, and it helps us relive the older memories, but I respect what Topps is trying to do, to bring in a wider, younger audience by using celebrities, pop culture, all that stuff, and I'm thankful that we still have our Wackies!
Sure, maybe there are a few too many parallels, but if they didn't do so much, then we'd probably be complaining and wanting more!
From what I've seen, I think this set will be very enjoyable and more appealing than the MLB set was. We have our tried-and-true subsets, lots of tributes to the big 50th anniversary, and most of all, we have something!
