Would have spent more if Topps didn't entirely drop the ball on basketball cards

No Illini players included in the Bowman set that they just released. They retooled it from being just college to include NBA players too (primarily as an excuse to print more Cooper Flagg rookie cards). And ok, sure, they probably had to get that checklist in place before the season so I'll excuse them for not including Wagler but then they also put out special March Madness boxes only featuring college players but that doesnt have any Illini men. Berry Wallace is in there at least, because she already had a Topps contract from being in the McDonald's game/set. Last year was the switch from Panini to Topps carrying draft cards so neither put out a full set there. So for those keeping score at home, Illinois will have back to back years of first rounds picks in Kasparas, Riley, and Wagler with zero cards of them in Illini uniform.
