One of my favorite aspects of card collecting in my youth was seeing the entire career statistics of players on the backs of their cards. One of my favorite cards of all time is the 1974-75 Topps Wilt Chamberlain in part because it shows him with the San Diego Conquistadors, a historical factoid I find fascinating, and also because of the glorious career immortalized on the back of the card.
Why don't the card companies do this anymore? I have tried, in vain, to find 2016 sets that show the whole career stats for NFL and NBA players. It makes me sad because I like to get cards from the ends of the careers of notable player simply for the stats on the back, and this makes that much less appealing.
I guess that part of the reason might be that stats are so easy to find nowadays that card companies have decided to include "color" instead of stats to make the cards a little more interesting. That's a reasonable decision, I guess, but I pine for the olden days.
BTW, am I missing anything, or is it really the case that full career stat on back cards are no longer being produced by any major card company?
