I considered writing up something sim...Great post. I considered writing up something similar, based on my own opinion on these prints. But... I'll just leave my thoughts in your comments instead.<br /><br />I really like the idea behind some of their prints. I picked up a 1972 Topps baseball wrapper print and the Major League movie pack. I considered a few other pieces too, but the pricing was a little too high for my taste... which I'm okay with as long as they're limited and have a chance of hold some kind of value. Normally I don't focus on future value... but when I dish out $36.62 for an oversized print of a wrapper... there's a part of me who likes the nostalgic aspect... but another part that wants it to be limited. Within a week of my purchase, these wrapper prints disappeared from their site (still figuring out what happened to all of them).<br /><br />On the flip side... I worry that they're flooding the market with so many different prints... some that are cool.. but others that seem sort of overkill. The fact that I just used the word "worry", means that I care way too much and that I just need to go back in my hole, relax, and sort through my dime cards.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581749200282165841.post-16664166404573144862014-06-28T16:18:13.848-04:002014-06-28T16:18:13.848-04:00I agree that they have gone crazy -- it's like...I agree that they have gone crazy -- it's like they have all these ideas for new wall art and they are afraid that they will go out of business by the end of the year if they don't print and sell all of them.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581749200282165841.post-69995897373508561002014-06-28T16:17:15.366-04:002014-06-28T16:17:15.366-04:00I do like the Yount for Mayor print, but I wonder ...I do like the Yount for Mayor print, but I wonder if they even sold 20 of them. I ended up with number 9 of 99, and I bought mine fairly close to the end of the time they had those available. I assume, of course, that they sent out the orders in numerical order...may be a leap of faith there.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581749200282165841.post-59461226974547448882014-06-28T15:46:30.503-04:002014-06-28T15:46:30.503-04:00I bought one of the Brooks Robinson prints.

I had thought about picking up the Yount for Mayor print, but Topps shipping to Alaska is insane and the print itself was pricey, but it looks good all framed up. And your right, I get all sorts of emails from Topps and for some reason for Pirates, Cubs, and A's stuff. Never any Brewers stuff.
