I actually never noticed that, and I don't know the reason. Sounds like the subject of a new blog article! Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. I actually never noticed that, and I don’t know the reason.

I'm not very familiar with newer cards, but it looks like some were printed in 1994, 2000, and 2001. See these eBay auctions: <a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/auctions?search=%281956%2C1957%29+%28reprint%2Crp%29&ref=rp" rel="nofollow">1956 and 1957 Topps reprints</a>. Hi Pixie,

It's fun to read about other peoples' tastes. I never got the fever for the 1955 Topps cards, and I'd rank them 4th among my favorites. I would put the 1951 Magic cards first, just because they're unusual. Then 1957, 1956, and 1955. I like your comment on the 1958 cards, that they look old and primitive. That's the main reason I like the black-and-white <a href="http://www.nearmintcards.com/set/1948+Bowman" rel="nofollow">1948 Bowman</a> set, though most of the other Bowman sets seem more popular.
