Topps/Fanatics has done a very poor job figuring out the target audience for different products and then building a product that would appeal to that specific type of collector.
Regular Heritage is a perfect example of this in that the target audience should be set builders, but Topps/Fanatics has made increasingly difficult to actually build the basic master set (by increasing the number of SP's from 75 to 100, and by making it harder to build the basic insert sets (Then & Now, Flashbacks, New Age Performers, etc.).
And while it may only make a small dent in Topps sales, it does discourage set-builders like me from buying the product unless we absolutely love the design for that year.
So the real question is whether or not Topps/Fanatics have figured out who the target audience for a 1975 mini stand-alone product is, and whether or not they've formulated the product to appeal to that audience.
