DATA: 2008 Topps Trading Card History

PING: I have to say, I am a little disappointed in this card. The card stock is very thin and the finish is glossy – cheap glossy. I guess they are just fun insert cards, but it just doesn’t do much for me – and I love the Allen & Ginter sets that Topps has been putting out the past few years. Maybe that’s it – maybe if it were another design (‘73 Topps!!) it would have been a little better. I still would have been bummed about the physical attributes of the card, but the design would be unexpected. Since Joey already has a good looking Allen & Ginter card this year, it would have been nice to see something different.
