“ On a day we have Chad Chop, we also get Dick Stuart. Have at it everybody, but keep it PG. ” -davidhandberry

“ Why would anyone bother to reprint such a boring, plain card? Maybe they only own a black & white printer? ” -C2Cigars

“ I didn't realize they had run these reprints when they re-aired Home Run Derby in the 80s. I would have been ALL OVER these if I had known. Those episodes are still fantastic all these years later and I wish they'd bring it back in a modern format. Thanks to this, I also learned that Dick Stuart hit 42 homers in 1963. The more you know. ” -crimnos2

“ Not a fan of reprints. ” -NJDevils

“ Nice vintage UGH correction I just noticed it said it is an 1988 REPRINT. UGH. Well at least it isn't a counterfeit. ” -captkirk42

“ I have some of the original television recordings of the Home Run Derby series on DVD that I purchased from Amazon. It's quite funny to watch them. You might see a player smoking a cigarette. The hitters swings are terrible compared to the models of efficiency we see from players now. How the heck these guys hit home runs, I'll never know. ” -bpaul14

“ This is just...boring. ” -YoRicha

Just completely boring! This absolutely shows how the card-world exploded into pointless cards in the 80's. Useless reprints of old crappy cards is the bottom of the barrel for cards at ANY time in the history of baseball cards.

Sadly, I feel the same way about most of the current Topps Insert cards and many of the Topps Brands! While the brands aren't technically reprints, the designs are completely reprints of old designs. And Panini is now doing the same thing with the old Donruss designs.

It truly looks like Topps AND Panini are dead-set on bringing back the "junk-wax era" about 30+ years later! I consider the "junk-wax" era as starting around 1986, but some consider it earlier and some say later. Personally, I call it 1987-1993, but almost everything in the late-80's was massively overproduced!!!
