Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer - Page 485

gmoney328 · 05-25-2020, 07:04 PM

I wonder at what point this actually breaks Topps? Their people have to be going WTF did we unleash HERE?

My Cabela's card pays for my pews, and my card profits are going towards building a house on my island beachfront property I'm leasing. WOOT!

I paid more for a card than I ever did before when I bought ermsy Trout on Sat, its more than doubled since then.

With all the cards Jake is selling i think he is going to need help with the shipping

JRX · 05-25-2020, 07:07 PM

I wonder if Topps will raise their prices, why let it all go to the secondary market.

Bronxbomma · 05-25-2020, 07:09 PM

eBay:

9 ERMSY Trout LOT up for sale with opening bid of $25,000 and guarantee of delivery even if card hits $3,000

This sale will define the pricing of Ermsy Trout for the next two months . Keep an eye on it!

Whoever thought of this definitely deserves a fat pay raise. Unfortunately this is going to do so well that they are almost certainly going to do a variation of this next year.

The fact that many more people are calling their holdings a portfolio is what is driving this frenzy. Not because its 'art' or 'appeals to cross-section of collectors'.

The cards are stocks, plain and simple.

To buy on Topps is like buying an IPO at $20 a share.

Word on the street is none of these IPOs will dip under $20 anytime soon.

So buy buy buy!!

Haha nice! I'm only joking anyways. I thought the same thing when this whole thing started although the Ermsy Trout always seemed really cool to me in all it's hideousness.

Part of me wants to load up on the Vides Ryan as a hedge because his cards seem to not get much love due to the 'draw squiggly lines over the original picture' design. Shore's obviously got more buzz, but this Griffey is going to be printed into oblivion.

Decisions.

JRX · 05-25-2020, 07:12 PM

There's already over 500 Griffeys sold on ebay, the McGwire Shore only has 1199 copies.

I think the Fatman is helping him.

Geez. I bought one for $3,500 this morning and was mad at myself for not paying $2,000 yesterday.

I don’t like it either but feel like if you’re expecting an SP you will be disappointed. Lots of people will buy the bundle.

I know this type of music may not intersect with the type of person to collect baseball cards but I just realized one of the more popular hip hop songs in the last couple years, Plain Jane by A$AP Ferg, gives Baller a shoutout in his main hook. "Ben Baller did the chain". I've been listening to this song for years thinking A$AP Ferg had a weird way of pronouncing "Been ballin with the chain".

Baller putting "Ben Baller Did The Card" on the Frank Thomas makes a lot more sense. Still kinda tacky but adds some interesting flair.

I think his more than any other's needs to be seen to be appreciated. It doesn't come across the screenshots.

Wondering if I should bite the bullet on the Griffey Saladeen.

I’ll take that

Using my model, Baller's Trout is:

$10,000,000 divided by 35,000

times the 1.1 artist multiplier

times the 1.1 player multiplier

equals $314

Simple!

And accurate!
