Who is your favorite current card company?

I'd have to go with ITG, so far I have never been disappointed with any ITG product I have purchased, plus they listen to their consumers!

I putt Topps, and would have put Bowman as a close second. I still feel like the Upper Deck stuff looks good, as well as everything else, but I am not familiar enough with everything else as I am just getting back into the activity

ITG.

Dr. Price takes his time and develops niche products that he knows his customers will like. Not to mention when it comes to memorabilia nobody does it like ITG, especially when it comes to their vintage hockey game used. I especially like the fact that they aren't licensed because it allows them to go out of the box and try sets and cards that other companies wouldn't even dream of. Its also nice having Dr. Price being an active member on this and several other forums and having him take the time to talk in chat and on the boards with the members here about past present and future releases.

I agree with everything you say, I'm just getting back into the hobby as well.

yeah. I think I am going to start with the Bowman chrome stuff and go from there. I like to build set via box breaks and filing in the gaps after that with single trading/buying.

I voted Topps because it is mostly what I collect :p

Topps and Bowman are the same company. Topps bought up the brand in the late 1980s and they use the Bowman name to produce most of their prospect oriented products.

Topps bought out Bowman in 1956 and resurrected the brand in 1989 according to Wikipedia
