Topps must believe “it ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught.”
But savvy baseball cards buffs like Night Owl Cards caught them.
To be fair, back int he day when the company released one series at a time, instead of all at one (kids, ask your parents), they often airbrushed logos onto the hats and/or unis of players who had been traded during the season. In the 1980s-90s (my memory is fuzzy on this and I just don’t feel like investigating right now), there were the occasional “Topps traded” series which featured real updates of players on their new clubs.
But this, this is just bordering on fraud (is it plagiarism if you recycle your old stuff to make it seem new?). It’s a shande what’s happened to the industry that Sy Berger made so popular.
