Anyone have any insert sets they can think of that are some of the worst? A couple that come to mind are the insert from Topps a couple years back that was pictures of other cards. I think it was through the years or something like that. There was also an insert from a few years back that was a card of the most sold Topps Now cards. ------------------------------- -Shannon

I agree that the cards about cards are the worst. Even though they aren't inserts, those are the ones that I need most to complete the 1975 Topps and I refuse to pay an exorbitant price for them just because they are of a HOFer or two.

As a player collector, I say all of the serial numbered cards. I am not a big fan of artificially scarce cards. ------------------------------- Erik Greenwood

This also reminded me of some of the all blue parallels from Topps Bunt and the Blue Chip parallels from some baseball sets. I think they were in Topps Fire. The all blue cards actually hurt my eyes somehow. Canadian Codhead wrote: Yikes No, they don't look any better in hand. ------------------------------- -Shannon

I can only think of a few tens of thousands. The most recent that caught my eye... https://www.tcdb.com/GallerySheets.cfm/sid/390315/2023-24-Upper-Deck---UD-Portraits?Slots=9 ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Through The Years - they should have put a band across the image to prevent fraud later.

Walk-Off Winners - three redundant pictures in an ugly design. Bleah!

And really all of the hundreds of useless inserts that recycle previous designs. That's what Heritage and Archives were for.

I'm continually entering tradeable inventory. Full want lists are at https://thecollectivemind.blogspot.com/p/baseball-wants.html Use the green tabs to navigate.

Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball and 2009 thru 2020 football so far. Don't have many newer than 2020 except A&G in baseball, and very little beyond 2019 in football. My extra hockey is older than that.

The best I have for a tradelist otherwise is https://thecollectivemind.blogspot.com/search/label/Disperse%20the%20Hoard
