If There's A Topps Archivist...

I understand that there's a secret broom closet at Topps HQ that doubles as the company archive, even though they're selling their file cards on their Topps Vault website. But what I want to know is, does Topps employ a baseball card historian? I'd like to think so, but I'm really not so sure that they're that concerned with the big picture (in my opinion they definitely should be).

So if there's a Topps Archivist plugged in somewhere at One Whitehall, I'd think that they would want to have these in their collection...

I thought Sy Berger WAS the historian over there...

If not, then where can I apply for the gig???

Sy Berger retired from Topps quite a few years ago. Hoepfully Eisner's experience with Disney will lead him to realize what a treasure he has in Topps and get someone on the job!
