“The Presidential Predictor cards are both topical and objective,” said Stockholm. “With the momentum of the race changing almost every day, we wanted to wait as long as we could to represent the more likely scenario.”

Apr 5th
Has anyone else had the feeling lately that something within Topps may be different than usual? They may be not doing the greatest lately or something along those lines? How do I figure this? Well I’m about to list a few good reasons.
First off, notice that they have been doing misprints in the last few years, maybe trying to get off more exposure than they already have been getting. You had the Derek Jeter misprint with Mickey Mantle and George W. Bush. Now, this year it’s the Red Sox team card with Rudy Giuliani misprint for this year. Coincidence or More >
