Just because YOU don't like the relic, doesn't mean someone else doesn't as well. Now me personally, I agree with you. If you're taking the relic away and adding a second auto in its place, GREAT!! All for it! But that doesn't seem to be the case here. It looks like this will be a "HIT" removal and they'll charge collectors the same move.
Yes, I'm fine with it going away and the price being the same. It doesn't change the value in my opinion up or down. With the napkin relic or without the napkin relic, the product doesn't change. Also, keep in mind, that almost every product that Topps releases as seen an increase in value on the secondary market. So that means they are already selling "too low" according to the actual market. To expect them to lower the price by $50 because they removed a $3 relic when they are already under market maketh no sense.

EDIT - Without making another post, ask yourself this. If they added another $3 relic would you be ok paying $50 more per box? That's a good logic barometer in my mind. I reverse my opinion and see if it makes sense the opposite direction too.
