I know there isn't a great deal of love for the Match Attax cards amongst 'serious' collectors. They have no numbers or statistical information, no relic/auto 'hits' but it is helping to draw in the next generation of collectors. That cannot be a bad thing.
Topps have tried hard to make this collectable and achievable. The foil cards, although not to every collectors taste, are nice and shiny.
I also know a Mike Schmidt collector who would appreciate the sepia legend.

These look a lot better than they did last year. For some odd reason I like picking up a pack or two over some of the other stuff when I'm in the card aisle.
I collect anything Tribe, so whatever the brand or gimmick, you'll find me picking them up for sure!
