I love topps, but sadly I doubt a few hundred collectors are going to make much of a difference.

 

[GotGibson?]

No thanks...like Upper Deck too much

 

[Ground Support]

Id rather Bust a box of topps over Upper Deck any day.

 

[GotGibson?]

my only reason...topps no lebron...upper deck lebron

 

[BAM1984]

Are u serious??????!!!! All I collect is Topps when it comes to sets, inserts, RCs, u name it......This sux. I hate Upper Deck because they have the higher prices and if they buy Topps I think that I will have to call it quits when the prices go up.

"BAM"

 

[GotGibson?]

In the end...Topps still has no LeBron

 

[Autonut1]

and Upper Deck has no Shaq, Wade, or Oden...

I think it will only help the hobby. Topps could use an overhaul. UD has the higher priced brands, but they are sweet. Go UD.

 

[GotGibson?]

and Upper Deck has no Shaq, Wade, or Oden...

I have allways like topps products, I like Upper Deck Products as well, but I do not belive that Upper Deck should buy Topps.

Upper Deck has too Much of a Monopoly on the Market all ready. We need Topps and Other smaller company's to produce low end cards to keep the Hobby Fresh and affordable for Younger Collector. Kids who are just starting out 9 & 10 years olds....

I signed... everyone should sign too even if they don't collect certain players.. for the good of the Hobby..

Thanks

Seen this article on Beckett ...

The Topps Company announced Monday in a press release posted on the company's website that its Board of Directors has determined that the pending $427 million cash offer from Upper Deck, "was not in the best interest of Topps stockholders and unanimously recommends that stockholders reject the offer and not tender their shares."

For collectors and dealers who are against the merger, the news of the Board's recommendation brings a temporary sigh of relief.

"Topps did the right thing," says Jim Milholland of Nick's Baseball Cards in Dallas. "Competition is always a good thing. A single company should never be allowed to control the entire baseball card market because a monopoly never benefits anyone."

Adds collector and Topps shareholder Tom Devlin of Poulsbo, Wash.: "I applaud the Topps board for recommending that shareholders reject Upper Deck's offer. This bodes well that collectors will continue to have choices as to where they spend their collecting dollar."

Topps noted in its release that the terms of the Upper Deck tender offer were substantially similar to the acquisition proposals submitted by Upper Deck to Topps on April 12 and May 21. Topps' management then went on to outline the determining factors and judgments that allowed the Board to reach its final decision.

I think collectors just need more options. I'm glad UD doesn't own everyone.
