Did you see the teaser pic Shore dropped? Darryl is not in the background.

I don't want to get my hopes up but that would be fantastic.

Oh, I thought you meant a preview of the actual card. I did see this one. I thought this meant that he was just hinting at Strawberry possibly being involved.

Yeah, I don't think that picture means Strawberry will be front and center with Doc, but just that he could be on the card somewhere.

Is it part color?

Hope so! Bucs helmet in the background alludes to likely pirate themes as well?

The mods should edit the title to remove the negativity, these are really cool cards. This thread title turned me off to them for quite a while and really they're quite enjoyable.

It's my opinion that the thread title is fantastic. Took me some time to start keeping up with the thread, but I really like the title and I think someone here should sell trophy placards for peoples' display cases that read: "the worst product since 1991 Fleer"

It's also been speculated that Oldmanalan's Gwynn card was a reaction/trolling of the thread title.

I don't think I'm alone in defending the thread title, and it's another controversy around whatever happened to Bob Loblow. He quit posting here around memorial day.......

I also don't love it, too much (and too large of scale) in too small of a space IMO. Would have loved Strawberry throwing a Strawberry at Doc from the background or something instead. But hey, it's not my art. It's not bad or anything, just far from my favorite Doc or my favorite Shore.

cjmccreary · 08-13-2020, 01:44 PM

Darryl could have been sitting on the toilet in the background and I would have loved it. Never thought I would have seen my childhood hero in the midst of P2020. But hey, what do I know...

Agreed, neither my favorite Gooden or Shore, but it's different, and Shore cards are amusing. We've been seeing lots of "different" lately. I assume things will head this way over the next couple hundred cards. It keeps things fun.

This whole week has been really good.

Rochester is literally painting AND is creating fonts that are consistent and clean.

He’s coming on at the halfway point.

It is part color. The colored portions of the card are foil so they change as you move them. The box looks nice but I was expecting something more "substantial" for all the hype about it.

Yeah, it's odd as you hope you are getting new people involved in the set but at the same time you are getting some of the most "controversial" cards. But at the same time it gives people who have been in for the first half some new things to talk about with the curve balls.

Side note: It made me so happy to see Keith throw in an "F the Mets"

Sweetblue · 08-13-2020, 01:52 PM

Has anyone heard an update regarding the Oldmanalan send in autos?

Ha ha I was immediately happy for you specifically when I saw that. But I missed your terrible guess that strawberry would not be front and center. Almost hilariously wrong on that one Don.

LOVE IT!!!

the "F The Mets' part cracks me up, as its Citi Field that sells his beer lol

ThoseBackPages · 08-13-2020, 01:57 PM

Hats off to Shore for bringing in other 80s Icons into P2020

ZiggySQ · 08-13-2020, 02:00 PM

Shore a Phillies fan, I knew there was something about him I liked.
