There’s something about a fresh pack of baseball cards that brings pure joy, like being a kid all over again. When I was growing up I remember picking through cards each year, hoping to find that one hot player that you just knew everyone wanted to have. Back in the 70’s, those cards were usually either Yankees or Dodgers players, sometimes Pirates. But we lived in Omaha, a city known more for insurance than baseball. This year those big-time cards are going to have a lot of Cubs on them.
Regardless of the player or the team, Topps was always that must-have brand.
