Before we get more into the 2018 Topps machine from the BASEball lot, some other 2018 sets to work through today, though not in great number. Still, some keepers with inserts/parallels/variations.
I have not been a big fan of the Donruss / Donruss Optic sets since these became a thing in the last decade or so. That said, I think my mind may be changing on them a bit. Maybe it's because of the Fanatics monopoly but I am looking at even this set from 2018 and thinking - is it really that bad? Is it maybe even, okay or possibly good?
In the long scheme of sets over the years, no, the set doesn't do much for me, but if I want to collect more recent sets at all, am I just going to limit myself to Topps? I really don't enjoy the non-licensing issues which is a turn off, but the design compared to Topps isn't what I would consider "bad", but it is different.
The backs, I don't like overly, but compared here to Finest - are they really that different? Less colour of course, but similar information.
Maybe I am opening the door a little bit to these other sets outside of Topps, but we will see. Depends a bit still on whether I get a good run as to there being a set worth pursuing.
On the other hand, we then have Topps do this - Stadium Club - and with just 2 cards here from the 2018 set, I am almost tempted to start the build on this one with just how gorgeous the photography is.
For those trying to track through, about 2,000 cards that are keepers for me so far from this one. Again, more the fun of the find, but a good go so far and still about 11,000 cards to go if I were to roughly guess.
