Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer

I certainly was not expecting to be selling thousands of every card. But here I am, legitimately expecting my next card (Mark McGwire) to break 10K PR.

So for that, I am grateful. I am glad the project has blown up so much that the type of cases used is the next challenge we have to overcome.

I know you mentioned this earlier, but did Topps seem to have an idea of how popular this would be going into it? Or did it seem they were expecting 1000-3000 print runs per card?

Topps has said that they did not expect the set to do these kind of numbers.

Especially when the first couple weeks started out so slow compared.

There’s a run on the Jeter Grotesk happening right now at $55 per.

Have you started working on your Trout card? Imo that's the card to top Ballers trout. I think we see 50k+ dont see any card topping your Trout

Wondering when we’ll see the run on Taylor’s Jeter - the lowest selling card in the set at this point.

Thanks for your comments, Blake. That puts things in perspective. Looking forward to the unveiling of your Mcgwire!

I don't expect less than 25k, and honestly looking for 30k+

I have a few early cards all in ultrapro. Some very loose, some little loose, and some very tight fit. Most of the twenty five or so I have in hand are not a tight fit.

His Koufax is one of my favorite of the set so far. I think it’s beautiful and very visually pleasing.

Guys, I think the writing is on the wall that topps is going to slowly start bumping the price on these. They already did it with the artists proofs from $99 to $199. If they are consistently selling 6 to 8k per card, I can see them starting at a price point of $29.99 or higher in the near future.

Spoiler - This kills the set.

If someone is still looking for a Ben Baller #1 Ichiro, here's one without Baller's name in the title. Auction ends in 25 minutes. Might make it a few bucks cheaper for you:

To be clear on this, I don't care at all about the cases matching, or if I get an "off brand" case. But I do want the P2020 sticker to lay flat on the case, and to be applied/aligned fairly straight. If the sticker is all jacked up, at that point it's distracting, and takes away from the quality of the card and the art imo.

I said to pick up the grotesk Jeter yesterday!!!!

Today’s pick up recommendations (I picked up 1 of each at these prices, not just lip service)-

Chang’s ichiro: absolute last call for presell under $30

Shore Mariano: still some for under $25. Will be over $30 in the next couple days- such a polarizing artist In the set.

As long as ‘Topps Project 2020‘ is in the title it’ll reach the eyes of the right people.
