Armageddon is Nigh.

Upper Deck trying to buy Topps
Man, this would not be good at all. Even if Press Pass, SAGE, and Donruss/Playoff all merged, Upper Deck would still end up with basically a monopoly, and they'd end up forcing the other guys out sooner or later. So if this happens, get ready for more and more sets with packs that have a triple-digit suggested retail price, where the best stuff is all redemption cards that take three years for the company to respond to, often with, "sorry, we never actually made the Reggie Bush card you were supposed to get, so here's this Broderick Bunkley as a replacement."

Crazy to think that there was a time when there were about twenty companies making cards, and soon, we could be down to four, with only two real major companies. Seriously, this could be the beginning of the end.
