As we gear up for the release of the 2025 Topps baseball cards, it's hard not to reflect on the evolution of card collecting and the sheer volume of cards being produced today. With reports suggesting that Fanatics has increased the card count for this year, it raises some interesting questions about the future of our beloved hobby.

Are we witnessing a renaissance in card collecting, or are we on the brink of another junk wax era? The numbers from previous years show a significant increase in the total cards collected, especially for popular teams like the Dodgers. But does more quantity equate to more quality?

For those of you who have been collecting for years, how do you feel about the current state of card production? Are you excited about the new releases, or do you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer volume?

Moreover, with the rise of online card breaks and social media showcasing new cards, do you think this has changed the way we collect? Is it still about the thrill of the hunt in local stores, or has it shifted to a more digital experience?

And let's not forget about the emotional connection we have with our collections. For many, it's not just about the cards themselves but the memories and stories behind them. What are some of your most cherished cards, and what makes them special to you?

As we dive into 2025, let's share our thoughts, predictions, and experiences. Will this year be a turning point for collectors, or just another chapter in the ongoing saga of baseball cards?
