Here’s a sample of a regular card from the 2016 Topps series:
It’s all right, but I start thinking about television commercials and how much is “enhanced” by computers. You can throw in all the bells and whistles you want, but it doesn’t necessarily make for a superior product.
Now here’s one from their 2016 Heritage set:
This style is an 50th anniversary homage to the 1966 set, which was quite elegant in its simplicity, IMO:
Everything old is new again.
I think the Heritage concept is kind of cool. It’s a way to attract both younger and older collectors, who, like me, might look back fondly on these designs. But maybe Topps doesn’t t have to wait that long to recycle.

They don't archives features past designs every year. Heritage pays homage to the sets that made topps what it is today. I love heritage, other than the former player autos in archive I'm not really a fan of the set. But it does feature four other more recent past designs.

The 2016 design is better than most, but I find just about all of the contemporary graphic design of Topps cards to be mediocre at best.
