To me, the two best sets this past season were Merlin and Stadium Club because they were different.
If Topps wants to come up with a more affordable base Champions League set it should make the cards look different. Go with a Heritage look or a sketch card look or something other than the exact same product with a little less shine.

The reason that Topps can get away with this is that most product these days is being bought by flippers or group breakers, who think they can make a profit off anything.
Actual collectors probably buy only 5-10% of any product's total print run.
