Neither of today’s cards knocks my socks off.

I know it's easy to ridicule, but that's his thing. Some artists don't need to spend time rendering and what not.

If you're familiar with his work, it makes a lot more sense. Also, I'll point out, I've been following along, and this dude BUSTS HIS ASS. He's ambitious and hungry.

Here's an installation he did.



Long term, an artist from this series needs to go big if it's ever going to have a serious impact on the aftermarket prices, but I think Vides has that potential. He's hot AF right now, just look at all the crazy collabs he's doing, this Topps project is just one of many.

Also, his cards are some of my favorite in person.

I haven't particularly been struck by any of his cards to date.

I would love to see what one of his cards done in this style would look like.

At least it is an interpretation of a 55 Koufax. There are a few that don't do that.

Grotesk Gooden and Grotesk Ryan will make a nice pair even if you don't have any other cards by that artist or of those players.

Anyone else having issues with the site? Getting 404 messages when trying to click on both cards since they dropped. Doesn't happen when I switch to Incog. Tried clearing cookies/cache, still nothing.

Maybe oldmanalan will pick a swinging photo. I also think both these cards today may fall under 6k.

I agree with you a lot, but today I have to disagree.

I think both look great.

I have not been able either as I've been trying for several weeks now. I took someone's advice on this board and requested a partial refund through Paypal as Topps has ignored my emails and been unable to reach by phone.

That is an hour and a half more than Fucci and Shore combined.
