I talk a good game

I assembled my 2013 Topps cards in order by card number today. Normally, for sets that I am not attempting to complete, I throw them in a stack and don't worry about organization. If I'm feeling particularly frisky, I'll sort them by team because it makes it easier to retrieve cards for trades. I only sort sets by card number if there is the potential for me to try to complete the set. But this time the stack looked particularly high, and I wanted to know how close I was to finishing off Series 1. I'm 61 cards away. Yeah, I know. Just 61. For a set I'm not completing. Because I'm mad at Topps. In the so-called Year of Vintage . I don't know what to say. I keep pulling these rack packs out of the car. I don't know how they end up in there. But to be serious, I'm still not planning to complete the set. I'm still disgusted at Topps (but we'll have to live with them a little while longer ). And I still say it's the Year of Vintag...
