This is really bad. I can't hate Topps, Most of my serious collection is Topps. I don't want to turn into one of those collectors who gets fed up with the whole rat race in the hobby and sells off his entire collection on eBay to buy a sports car so he can have a proper midlife crisis complete with booze and hookers and embezzling from the firm to finance a self-destructive bender in Vegas. No one wants to read a blog about that! Actually, come to think of it, everybody would want to read a blog about that. But I don't want to write it.
I need to shake this. I need to break out of this ennui before something bad happens. What can I do? I know! Time to go back to what brought me into this hobby in the first place...
Aaaaaahhhh... That's much better than a card missing a sticker. Sweet, sweet vintage... you have come through for me again. I love Topps. Just not most of the bullcrap they are foisting upon us right now.Ok, so one of 'em is a Fleer card. I'm still a little mad at Topps.

You've hit the nail on the head with this one. I've been so disillusioned by most of the recent releases that most of what I've purchased in the past 6 months has been Topps cards that were released prior to 1980.
If you're like me, there are a lot of cards from the 50s, 60s and 70s that you could use for your collection.
The other night I stopped at my new favorite hobby shop on the way home from work and left with about 200 commons from 1976, 77 and 78 for $16, about the same price I'd pay for 3 or 4 modern packs.
Awesome cards, especially the 62 Topps Win Leaders and the 76 Ryan, two of my favorites!
booze and hookers are always better than cards.
Anything else is crazy talk.
Hard to argue with booze and hookers. Geez, we sound like some of the players we collect!!!
