I haven't bought a baseball card since the early 90s, but I find this to be a very sad development. Sometimes its ok to not sell your soul for every last dollar.

Sorry, this is MLB we're talking about. That ship sailed a LONG time ago...

I haven't bought BB cards since the 1950's. Yet it is kind of sad because all I remember is Topps. Are they now being made in China?

If you want a stroll down memory lane with Topps, I found this fantastic website years ago. The owner has posted his entire collection online. I always find myself drawn to the ‘68-‘71 seasons because that’s when I did the bulk of my collecting. Sadly I don’t have the cards anymore, I gave them away when I moved out of the house in 1981.
