In a strange turn of events, after me copying Topps for a years, it appears as though Topps is now copying me!



Last October, I wrote this piece on my blog about on-demand cards ...

And over the past few days, I've seen this:

Not exactly the same, and no I don't think they are copying me, but still funny that it is happening a few months after I wrote something similar

Maybe they didn't copy you but you did come up with the idea before they did.

It's kind of like eTopps but it feels like this is an expansion of what they've done with Super Bowl sets in the past, trying to jump on things while hot

Funny.

In the 90's I told someone that one day all movies would be available straight to your TV whenever you wanted to watch them. We now have streaming...

Pretty neat idea by them (you).



I dont know what their costs are to make the cards, but they sold 2385 of them over 2 days at $9.99 a card... Small sample size, but thats almost $12k a day. Season (including playoffs) is roughly 7 months long, average of 30 days per month.... ~$2.5 million gross sales if they can keep that trend.
