Nice--that could be a cool set

kidfan9 · 03-12-2021, 03:01 PM

I’ll be watching!

rebbrooks · 03-12-2021, 03:13 PM

Will they just be baseball covers, or other sports too?

cj828282 · 03-12-2021, 09:48 PM

I am sure the foils will be a hit.

hundley · 03-13-2021, 08:05 AM

This could be big if other sports are involved. Look at those slam cards from hoops.

cj828282 · 03-14-2021, 04:57 PM

Yes, I would buy the "Miracle on Ice" card!

psochaps · 03-14-2021, 05:50 PM

Card #1 Kate Upton.... that will catch everyone’s interest!!
Just follow it with Jordan. Now everyone is buying ��

ewokpelts · 03-15-2021, 01:14 PM

I suspect baseball only. But I hope they do a dick Allen card!

kidfan9 · 03-16-2021, 07:13 AM

I think today is the debut of the first card of this set...

cj828282 · 03-16-2021, 08:59 AM

Trout and Duke Snider are the first two covers.

For every card, a White w/ Red stripes - /70, Canary Yellow - /25, Orange - /10, Red - /5 and Silver - /1 card will be randomly inserted into print runs.

$17.50 for two cards and bulk options for single cards.

Have to figure out how many to buy now. This could be a nice set.

As someone who has dabbled in collecting SI covers. I am WAY in on these cards. Looking at these first two and I thoroughly enjoy both. Already dreaming up ways to display this 70 card set.

ewokpelts · 03-16-2021, 10:26 AM

No mantle, but expect a lot Of Yankees, with at least 2 jeter.

At least one Robinson(I’m not sure how many cOvers he was on), one teddy nallgame(maybe card 70 and they do the first issue cover.) one Aaron, 2-3 Griffey’s, maybe a Harper, but definitely an acuna and Soto.

And at least one McGwire cover to represent the roid contingent.

ThoseBackPages · 03-16-2021, 11:00 AM

$10 EACH? lol

smanzari · 03-16-2021, 11:08 AM

Late 90's Fleer GOTG Flashbacks! I may be snagging some of this, especially if there's autos!

Hoping to see at least 1 cover per team. Wouldn't mind to see the Harper "The Chosen One" cover. Not sure how dark they will go, but the Strawberry / Gooden cover would be great as well, if not, at least the shirtless Strawberry cover. Bo Jackson in both baseball and football uniforms was also classic.

So many good shots and iconic covers to choose from.

These are literal recreations of the SI covers, correct?

This is standard Topps print to demand pricing.

I hear you, but I'd have to charge more if I was still on eBay.

Lots of benefits buying from me off-ebay. One being 5% in rewards on every purchase that you can use on anything you like, including Project 70 OMA cards.

If only they could make cards of Mantle or MJ covers...
