It is now year two of Topps Fire and one year ago I would have been stunned if you told me there would be a year two of this product. It's not that I hate the cards. The product is not for me, granted, but I just don't understand how something like this can sustain itself for an extended period of time. To me, explosive fireballs emerging behind star baseball players just screams "insert" or, at my most generous, "late 1990s issue." It doesn't say "staying power" to me. However, this is also a guy who went to Target not once, but twice, to find some Topps Fire. I can explain. Maybe. As weird as this product is and as much as I think this product resembles a mish-mash of Upper Deck X, the 1990s Metal Universe cards and Upper Deck Icons (the backs are about as pointless as I've ever seen), I find it intriguing. I want to see the designs first-hand. I'm a fan of bright cards and Fire is definitely bright. I also like art...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
