What's wrong with getting the cards too quickly?

Be nice if Topps took their time printing them so they weren't so badly off centered

Yeah, I would much rather have Topps be on their original "alleged" printing schedule of 3-4 business days after the clock expires, as they had it originally.

What is the A.C. heart on the Jeter card?

I was just going to ask the same question. Weird.

I have cards 167 and 187 set to be delivered today, both are Trout cards.

I am loving the faster shipping.

I hope they can get to their 3-4 business days shipping time sooner than later

Microsoft Paint!

I'm a Linux guy so ... this is probably a waste of time to explain but I'm using Gimp and may make use of Blender.

These have very high learning curves however there is great support and tutorials if you google "how to do X in gimp". Just make sure you're on Gimp 2.10 or later.

Gimp stands for gnu image manipulation program and is open source and free. It's on Windows & Mac as well. It is high quality but like any other advance suite, it requires A LOT of study and practice.

I'm at about 40% done with my Bob Gibson card.

Very excited.

This is precisely why I’m not doing one. I’d want to go grab new pastels, start on a larger canvas, then shrink it down. And this would all be done to create Ghost Gwynn which all of you would hate.

Plus, work.

Good luck. I’m hiding money on this one.

Received 3 orders today.... Was sent an extra Efdot Brett instead of Oldmanalan Jackie

Naturel Nolan Ryan cards are awfullyyyyy centered and so are both of my Fucci Robinsons.

I haven't had too many issues with quality control so far but today I am annoyed

Don C Gwynn just landed on porch. Makes me just as happy in my hand as that fine day it was released with Beck's Rivera.

Haven't opened Beck's rivera yet, I saw the gold on facebook so I know it is not gold. Then another 2-pack landed, will be a surprise in a few minutes

Other 2-pack was ermsy henderson and trout Naturel. Both awesome. No gold, no auto. Very nice cards the 4 of them.

I assume he got overwhelmed with his orders and I see he hasn't tweeted in 30 days. I tried emailing him a couple weeks ago but never heard anything. Any word on this? Again, sorry if this has been addressed.

I'm still waiting for 3 in the 90s. Finally emailed to inquire last week. Crickets.

[ctcardexchange]

Wow, I just got shipping notifications for 215-220. I'm still waiting on various cards from the 170s, 180s and 190s

Just not in the cards right now due to work. You can hold me accountable to do it at some point, but have someone do the Gwynn for your set for now as work isn’t easing up for the rest of the year.

No worries AD!
I realize it’s insurance open enrollment period coming up for most.

That insurance isn't going to sell itself!

(Sheepishly withdraws complaint from last night)- OK, a pretty good mail day today. Except for 1 card I’m now complete through #180. Guess I have to trust the process

Ok guys, I'm in on Gwynn then. This is a big leap for me but I've decided to take a risk and jump. I expect good things in the process of actually creating something, as well as some frustrations. But I can't let opportunities like this pass me by any longer.
