TOPPS TRADITIONS
From time to time, Mike Orzechowski takes out his card binders to flip through his collection.
It makes him happy to look at his extensive Philadelphia Phillies collection. The 39-year-old has every Phillies team set that Topps has ever produced from 1951 to present.
“I think the rich history with baseball and with Topps in particular, that consecutive run … there’s just something awesome about it,” Orzechowski said.
One of Orzechowski’s favorite parts about opening the four binders is seeing how Topps has changed its design over eight decades of printing cards. He also likes to look at how the Phillies’ rosters developed every year and how uniforms and hairstyles changed.
