Personal Notes
While not exactly true, when I was growing up we basically had baseball/football/basketball/hockey cards to choose from. There are generations of athletes who missed out on cards not because they weren't awesome, but because there was no one producing cards about their sports. That's why I love these Topps Olympic cards, because they spotlight these superior athletes who might never cards otherwise.
(Tangent) I love to share my hobby with my kids, but its super hard when my daughter loves soccer, and wants to get cards of her favorite players and I'm like, sorry they don't make soccer cards of the US Women's Team (sure, a spattering here and there, but I mean).
