With the current state of the transfer portal, the Topps Traded sets will be thriving.
They aren’t as readily available like they were in the ‘70s and ‘80s. I see packs of cards at Target but never at food stores or convenience stores. They‘re also expensive for a lot of kids now.
Why collect sports cards when you can collect these?
Like we did? Nope. But they do. Trust me. I have one that decided to get into card collecting because his friends were doing it.
They're ridiculously expensive. Pay $60 for a box that has one good card in it. And it's not good because it's the rookie card of a stud .. it's good because it's the green holo parallel 1 of 30 blah blah blah nonsense variant.

Here are two fun books to read if anyone is interested:
Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession by Dave Jamieson: a nice history of baseball cards
The Wax Pack: On the Open Road in Search of Baseball's Afterlife by Brad Balukjian: In 2015, the author opens a pack of 1986 cards and decides to track down all fourteen players in the pack, one card was a dreaded checklist.
