I must say, Mr. Moderator, that it is a total shame that you and the original intact Topps Photo Archive were never brought together. You would have enjoyed it immensely. I know of the Doug McWilliams archive from Oakland/SF now in the HOF, I know of the Loughead collection in Dallas, I know of the Brace/Burke collection. But for the 1956-1988 span, nothing, but nothing, came close to what Topps used to keep in the back. At least a million images, maybe two - it was impossible to estimate. I know they're selling them for the pure profit of the process, but just putting them out there - watermark and all - is an inadvertent service.
