Night Owl Cards

I received my first taste of Topps' new Big League Baseball product last week. No, I didn't buy any packs. Lately, I've made too many trips to stores I don't actually want to visit in the name of Allen & Ginter and Stadium Club. That's enough. But a couple of Big League Baseball cards happened to fall out of a package from reader Dave (more on what he sent tomorrow). And, unfortunately, with those two cards, my gradually diminishing enthusiasm for Big League Baseball took another dip. The cards are fine for what they are -- a basic brand with limited inserts targeted toward set collectors (I keep reading that this is a set for kids. I'm still looking for those kids buying baseball cards in the card aisle. A dozen years now, I've been looking. They're not there). But BLB doesn't quite do the job as a traditional set, because it's only 400 cards and as someone who grew up on sets that were regularly 660/726/792 cards, 400 is laughable....
