Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer - Page 2378

It's stay on your computer all morning waiting for Topps week!!! I'll miss this putting on hold of my real life.

Maybe the Thiele Mattingly and Rivera prints will be the original versions?

Probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

If I was a Red Sox fan I would purchase that Beck Ted Williams print.

Love the card and the print seems to fill the space better than most I've looked at so far.

1000 Sport Zonk · 11-24-2020, 11:57 AM

Yeah the Beck Williams looks excellent as a print

Using the size of the text as the comparison seems disingenuous in order to take the ego shot. It's obviously not the focal point of the card.

Looks like Siff snuck in and Sandy Koufax'd this.

NO! Doesn't Topps know that I am not productive in the afternoon if I haven't seen the releases for the day?

More and more often I find myself wondering about the likely daily internal fire drills over at Topps regarding the project. Would be quite a scoop for the coffee table book, to have a chapter dedicated to days like these.

ThoseBackPages · 11-24-2020, 01:25 PM

im in for one table book

vermonty · 11-24-2020, 01:25 PM

Someone has got to write the Project 2020 book when this is done. Cards aside, the experience and community has really made it special for me.

Standard operating procedure over at Topps. If I ran any of my projects the way Topps runs every single drop I'd be fired in less than 6 months. Seriously, Project 2020 is repetition M-F, drop the cards at Noon, announce the Print Runs at 2pm, and do it again the next day. But Topps only gets it right 1-2 times a week lately, and sometimes not even that.

Forget the book, let's think big: Who plays Jeff in the Limited Series on Netflix?

And what really happened with Don C.

samcam · 11-24-2020, 01:28 PM

Or maybe we just paste Topps employee and artist faces on characters from The Wolf of Wall Street like they do for those stupid holiday e-cards?

440ToCenter · 11-24-2020, 01:30 PM

"We have to get cards out today?"

Yeah, what happened to that guy? Been silent since 11/3 it looks like. I've been looking forward to seeing all of the Blowout custom cards together

They’re too busy counting the money

Got shipping notification on my 6/11 TwinsJake orders!

Feels like this is all coming full circle.

It is not easy to make a Gooden I won't buy--I'd like to congratulate Thiele on his accomplishment.

ThoseBackPages · 11-24-2020, 01:48 PM

NICE!

He'll come back with everything printed and sent out to the participants of the Thread P2020 cards and a nice post with everyone's submissions I'm sure. We'll have a zoom parade in celebration. It'll be a good time.
