I got it! On April 1st, on their website, Topps will reveal that ALL the cards released thus far were an elaborate April Fools inside joke, like Kazuo Uzuki only multiplied by 330, and then release 330 more cards. Get ready for Topps 2009, the 1,320 card set. Dammit! I forgot they read every blog. I just gave them a license to print money.
