would love to see in both heritage AND A&G and then emailing topps. Earlier the better!

I think that's a very good idea that should have some thought behind it. If I were Topps, I would read something like this board versus some of the other ones that are full of knee jerk reactions or trust my own creativity or market instincts. The possibilities for an A&G set/relics/autos are really fascinating and only bound by somebody's imagination. Whether the fanciful can be turned into reality is another matter, but I've already seen some interesting choices in the main A&G thread. The baseball side would be easy. The others could be extremely fun to contribute on (including the design).
I think the insert cards (the thick ones) were pretty weak with the player selection as well as the rip cards/rip card inserts. One of the reason last year's was such a hit was all the big names on the rip cards and the players contained within. How cool would it be to have a Jeter or Howard or Bonds Dick Perez original sketch cards vs a Swisher/Tulowitzki/Matthews. Not to mention Mantle/Williams/Bonds/Gibson on the rip cards themselves. This appeals to player collectors as well as set collectors. You can't tell me a Scott Kazmir rip card will be held intact as much as a Teddy Ballgame. And getting a Justin Morneau extended card within a rip card makes it kind of pointless and disappointing to rip versus getting a Josh Gibson or Cal Ripken.
Just my 2 cents.

<< <i>How about Allen and Ginter series 2 !! >>
As cool as that would be, I need at least 9 months to finish this set and recoup.

I hear ya, Ross! My wife is still glaring at me because of all the money that I've spent on this set so far. I would have to find a new place to sleep if there were a second series. But then again, it might be worth it...

I'm not done cracking the stuff that has already been released (no more than 2 months ago mind you) and still have a ways to go on the sets so let's hope Topps holds off on that idea
FYI - you guys over here are sooooo much easier and efficient to work with than the over on the Beckett Boards! Amazing.
