As a custom card 'recipient' and where my personal collection is well, just that, this hits home very very well. Many of us have seen a pic of 1972 Padres pitcher Mark Schaeffer.

Yet when a pic likes this is then released by the gods of Topps, I say to myself, "That beats the custom card image that I had created." It's like a wise man named Simarc once stated to me - "Better is better."
