It could be more than that if you factor in 180-point BCW and Ulti-Pros. Plus I think some of the generics are a little thicker too.

I haven’t been buying 5 or 10-packs. Usually just 1 of each card, but probably close to around 60% of the set. I think about 4 or 5 were in snap-tite cases

That is my theoretical plan as well.

Who knows if I will actually do it, but in my mind my future self is a hard worker!

I am having such a difficult time finding proper fitting sleeves for the cases.. Superior fit 260 pt sleeves are just slightlyyy too wide, but the 120-180pt rip at the seam on one side

Don C's Mariano Rivera is a card that completely caught me by surprise and I fell in love with it.

I hope his Trout is both surprising and lovable.

Do yourself a favor and get some Superior Fit sleeves for the one touches. They'll display so much better than saggy team-bags.
I've been looking and can't find them! These are ultra-pro one touch sleeves, but they are for 35-260pt and way too big. Anyone have a recomendation where to get them?

I ordered the "Superior Fit Sleeves for Pro Mold One Touch 150-180 PT" for the Generic 180pt. Still has a slight bit of slack on the sides but at least they fit.

Don C's Rivera is the best version by far, and one of the best cards in the Project. I doubt any of the remaining artists will top it.

Since Don C didn't technically design his last card, this will be his first card since #212 George Brett. He's still behind all other artists in number of cards released, but he is almost caught up

At the beginning of this I thought I'd wind up with a few artist sets. Now I think I'm going to wind up with subsets of a handful of artists...because there are some like Taylor, Grotesk, Fucci etc who have grown on me but they almost always have a couple cards I could do without.

Got my Mister Cartoon Brett companions in today. Nice quality as cards are thick and have foil accents, plus decent turnaround time, which is... nice.

No shame in a mini-set.

For those interested, the inventory on my website was stale from the people that cancelled their orders because of the unexpected long delays for the Trout signed Thiele and Fucci cards.

It's updated now and there is 1 Trout/Thiele dual signed available back in stock.

Thanks for everyone's patience during this time.

So we've got Efdot Henderson, Don C Trout, Jamieson Koufax, Saladeen Robinson and Taylor Mattingly coming so far.

It will be tough to top last week's 8 out of 10 for me with today's Vides a 'no', but we'll see.

I feel like Taylor is out for blood after people celebrated the low Rivera PR and is giving low PR chasers a massive FU by teasing a card so irresistibly awesome and colorful that people will be awestruck. At the very least, it seems he's putting a lot of time promoting this Mattingly than most of his previous cards.

I love it.

Interesting. I wasn't enamored with last week's offerings. The Ermsy Ryan might be better than all of them. This week SHOULD be strong, in my opinion. In addition to the ones you mentioned above, perhaps a Chang Griffey or Baller Brett?

I find statement 1 unlikely but would be amused if it were the case. Statement 2 is the truth and I hope it works out for him. I actually like his Rivera best of all the Riveras. I would nominate the Vides Rivera as the most forgettable card in the set.
