Topps won the rights to be MLB's only licensed manufacturer earlier this month. For the first time, the company addresses the move on national TV.

Topps says the baseball card market now consists of "two different markets, the collectors and the kids".

That was one of the comments made by company general manager Warren Friss in an interview with Bloomberg News this week.

Friss said in a 3 1/2 minute interview that Major League Baseball's decision to award it an exclusive contract was a "very important first step" in turning the modern card industry around.

I guess me and Warren Friss are just going to have to agree to disagree....

"Baseball players will take anything. If you had a pill that would guarantee a pitcher 20 wins but might take five years off his life, he'd take it" MLB pitcher Jim Bouton about drug use in the Major Leagues... quoted in 1969.

If your user name is this color I am afraid I'll have to pass on any proposed transactions at this time. user posted image
