This was a great year for baseball and therefore a great year for baseball cards! Nice to see unlicensed product finally competing with Topps…perhaps we will see the end of the sportscard monopoly yet!

Let’s end the exclusive Topps contract so that with competition a vote for best product really means something.

Also…Topps Mini should have been included in “Best Gimmick”.

It is difficult to vote for something like this when most of the cards, by far, come from the same place.

I agree. Archives was the best rip. I liked the “bums” included because it gave us on card auto of a lot of All-Stars we rarely see like Willie Wilson, George Foster, and even Sid Bream. I’d never want a Sid Bream auto, but it gave me the biggest laugh when I he appeared in one of my Archives packs!

On a side note, my daughter also hit a Ted Williams Topps Contract redemption (1:196,000) so I’m a little biased toward Archives. :-)

Have to agree with Zotster, Archives was really a decent Rip for the money. Although I pulled bums for Auto’s the concept of all the different designs was in one product was great and the 84 Harper short print and Auto are undervalued to me. A better Autograph checklist would put this product over the top!

Topps Archives should be under “best rip.”

Cooperstown would have been my pick for new product had Topps mini not come out this year.

Topps Mini should have been in the bargain category as well.. It was $50 a box + Free shipping in the topps store. Topps regular was higher priced and you got less value hits.
