Plus, might there be the possibility of a small Allentown Show set?
I can't speak for others, but for me, whether waiting for a new set, an eBay purchase, et al, the waiting and anticipation accounts for a large portion of the excitement.
I liked looking forward to see what the daily PODs might be (however, truth be told, there were a lot of disappointments.) Also, after a while, I would simply find myself placing the cards from the various increments in their respective binders... and then closing them and placing them back on a shelf ten minutes later, quickly forgetting them as I waited for the next batch to arrive. And so on. Diamonds can be all well and good. They're rare and special. If you were given a few every day, however, I believe that rareness would eventually begin to wear off. The first few you would place somewhere special, treasures to behold. After a while, you would start collecting them in boxes and jars and other canisters. Eventually, though, you would simply end up flicking them into a huge dragon's horde of a pile, one really no more special than - and quickly lost among - all of the others.
I, for one, am grateful for this hiatus. If Topps came out with a regular set and an OS set each year, and maybe a few 9-card subsets in between - summer blockbusters, Halloween, Christmas, etc. (which I had hoped that's what the bundles might have possibly been,) I would be fine with this. One would think that, with the less frantic pace placed upon the creative minds behind them, such sets would be very well thought out and executed. I wouldn't mind have to wait two months in between sets, and, in all likelihood, would probably appreciate said sets even that much more.
