Why don the Ultimate Team Sets include cards all the way back to 1952?
Expense and availability. Prior to 1980, annual Topps® sets start to get expensive and the overall condition goes down. By the time you get back to 1970, it costs a good $3,000 or more for a complete year set and it would probably take twelve sets or more to pull one or two clean Ultimate Team Sets. There is also the problem of continuity. For instance, are the Brooklyn Dodgers included in the Los Angeles Dodgers set or are they separate? Where does one put the Braves? in Atlanta or Milwaukee? Kansas City/Oakland…SanFran/New York…and don’t even get me started on the recent Washington Senators/Montreal Expos debacle. It was bad enough that the California Angels decided to change their name to the Anaheim Angels, but at least they are the same team in the same city. One day I have a dream of putting together two complete sets of all Topps® cards ever issued in the best condition available with each card in a four-screw down and housed in about 750 hand-made mahogany boxes with brass
