“ iffie99, it took you a year and a half to contribute both sides, but "better late than never" they say, so thanks for getting both on the site! ” -bkklaos

“ Retread of a retread. They did the 1952 design in 2001 Heritage (not to mention they used it *in* 1952). Although it sure beats some of those 1990s designs! ” -vrooomed

“ Really enjoy the 1952 edition cards. They did a nice job giving them that "old school" feel. ” -carthage44

“ Not a bad card, yet still 1 of way too many subsets or special editions. The more I see cards like this, the more I just want the ORIGINALS. ” -engine614

“ Another throwback nowhere near as good as the original. Topps needs to stick with one or two retro sets, and come up with new sets. Give collectors some variety! ” -suomibear8

“ Like the overall design, too bad the back of the card looks so dark.... ” -Joshua825

“ This works so well considering the Tigers have such classic uniforms. ” -jlaz10

“ I got nothin'. The '52 design is one of the most classic designs. What else can be said? ” -captkirk42

Yes, Topps, come up with something original. Not the 2015 edition of the 2011 edition of the 2004 edition of the 1952 edition. Verlander still doesn't look like an old-time player.

I've always thought that Topps should mix up the sports a little for Archives and Heritage sets. Use the designs of old football, basketball, hockey, etc. They did it with the Archives basketball set in the 90s that had designs of baseball sets, and I really liked that set. They have done multiple WWE Heritage with designs of old baseball and football sets. At least that would be an original idea for an unoriginal set.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

The Jordan '84 Topps archive is a nice card overall, with a great photo on the front, but the back of the card wasn't what I had hoped for back in the day.

Verlander could have the worst cards in the world, but he's got Kate Upton, so he's a winner in my book! ------------------------------- ~Aaron~ Please check "My Finnish Flash Collection" to see which cards I am looking for with my PC - willing to trade or buy anything I need. 2,169 unique Teemu cards....and counting (Last updated 8 April 2024) 828+ different Brett cards....and counting
