I'd bite the bullet and grab one now for $200 while you still can if you are really interested in collecting Don C's whole set. After that you can get them all for cheap from Topps so it's still the easiest(cheapest) artist set to collect right now.

I don't think increasing the price will do anything, as long as there is profit to be made the resellers will buy regardless, and you might actually price out the real fans.

I think his idea of a more expensive patreon tier will suffice

What are the odds he gets all that?
LOL, you're not very good at math.

Safe to say that if there was a player you forgot about that they're probably the least popular one in the set lol

FYI - just got a shipping notification email from FedEx (Topps). My oldest pending order is #58 Ermsy Ted Williams, so hopefully 57/58 (blake henderson & ermsy williams) should be shipping.

(my previous order was already received an my next order was from 5/10, so it's gotta be the order placed on 5/5)

Brett has the crapping his pants story and also the pine tar bat, so I’d say he’s a little more well known than Gwynn

Just boggles the mind that people aren't buying straight from Topps. 2 hours ago they could have all they wanted for AT LEAST $10 less
Even with Free Shipping from Topps...

1 Griffey purchased from Topps for me is $21.29 w/ tax.

1 Griffey from TwinsJake is $17.25 and no tax.

If i buy a 2 pack... I buy from Topps. Any 1 card purchase is done through eBay. I will take the $4 savings for no chance at the gold frame.

I'm glad Don C took my advice and did the player in color and the rest the solid metal color. Just call me Rene Ricard.

At current pricing, the real fans can't get their hands on the cards anyways. At least raising prices will cut into reseller profits. You're also assuming real fans cannot afford to pay for the higher prices which not necessarily true.

Anyone selling these cards should be PRAYING for a sub 40k number.

Griffey's Shore to be MORE than last weeks Blake's McGwire and Thiele's Jeter COMBINED would be a clear indication that a majority of buyers are coming in for the wrong reason.
