Topps has been carrying on business way better than the rest and that's why they are still going strong.

And why they can put out any products they want without competition for our business.

I couldn't agree more. In the 2+ years I have been back collecting I've seen a HUGE drop in traffic here and MANY more leaving the hobby threads and posts than new to the hobby posts. I don't have any answers or ideas how but the card companies need to figure something out.

Card companies already know what is necessary, they just need the 'balls' to do it... for the hobby to flourish people have to spend much more time collecting than selling.
