So the SSPs will be like Stadium Club, full-bleed.

Looking at those holiday themed parallels: Is this Topps Baseball or Animal Crossing?

Just Topps losing whatever shred of dignity they had left to feed the breakers.

They are trying to sell even more hangers with those yellows but they still will be crap like this year.

Oh God..... no more Animal Crossing cards!!!

This was a article from early last year. I think the "traditional" collector will be continously disappointed by the flagship product for the foreseeable future. 

I keep trying to make myself believe that long-term if it keeps the hobby relevant it is a good thing.

"Kids" aren't the ones who will be buying these packs and pulling a 1:300 "bunny" parallel. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

No base image that I can see. I wonder if they aren't excited about the design.

I wish Topps would just do another "kids" set like they did in the 90s for the childish concept like the bunnies etc. since these parallels end up going for prices way outside any kid could afford and most adults see them as childish.
