Thanks Brett, any ideas if etopps is getting off the ground? I have a good amount of etopps cards and I have been waiting for years for topps to market this product so that it can eventually take off. I have always thought that in this day and age, that electronic cards (with the additional opportunity to acquire the physical cards) would be the way to go

@Paul: I really believe that eTopps is about to take off. I think early on they struggled in figuring out how to market the product and consumers didn't really understand what they were trying to do with it. I personally wasn't a big fan until just recently when they debuted the MiLB cards. I think once people give it a chance, they see how cool it is and are hooked. Here's the great thing for you Paul, it's never the obvious cards that end up being worth something down the road, it's always the "under the radar" stuff like eTopps. eTopps cards are extremely "finite" (low print runs), so as eTopps increases in popularity, your cards will increase in value. I also buy into the theory that many technological ideas were ahead of their time in the early 2000's and that the ideas that stayed the course will eventually boom.
