Nice bait. But you are NOT going to make me break my resolution today. You are NOT.

I dont like the drop shadows used by Siff on this Williams card, and I didnt like it on the Trout either. Kills off some of the wet-ink look to his stuff. I also dont like the floppy bedazzled hat on Ted, looks like something Grandma would wear covered in collectible pins making the hat weigh 7 pounds.

Wish Grotesk swapped the orange and black around on this card, too dark.

As a huge Siff fan, this one is not my favorite. Not as bad as his Ichiro, which was by far my least favorite Siff, but no where near as good as some of his other cards. I putt it somewhere in the middle to bottom half of Siff's run.

Take a gander at the on-canvas sigs of the generally agreed upon top 10 artists in history and tell me if even one of them has a sig anywhere near that huge. Top 20, 50, 100 - probably still won't find one. Attempting to blend it in with the grass does not change its ridiculous size. #Ego

Count me as a member of the 'TwinsJake' shipping notification crew! So stoked to finally fill out some of the gaps in this set.

He doesnt have his name like that on any of his other cards, so its seemingly a one off, and it blends in a lot with the grass so its not even that noticeable. Its also one of the absolute worst cards in the entire P2020, so he made a real poor choice to use that card to show off his ego.

Very nice! I was tempted by those.

Yeah, totally makes logical sense to compare top X artist from the history of the world with a person incorporating their past as a graffiti artist within a piece they work on for Project 2020. How dare he put his personality in to a card as a tertiary (at most) image. The ego.

Just keep moving those goalposts to fit that narrative you are pushing.

Nice guy. Probably roid rage.

It's fine, not great. I would prefer the background images to be more like the top where they are "behind the yellow". I assume the mechanics of the body are driving you nuts, but that has never stopped me from enjoying a card in this set so far, so hard to start now.

It's a really bad card. The borders did it no favors, but that card is a weaker one in the set for me personally. I like KS in general but his P2020 set has not been particularly good in my eyes.

Not moving anything. I stated that his signature was huge (a sign of "look at me" ego, NOT "artistic expression") within this piece, and it is. Period. That is a fact that cannot be disputed, even by you.

My comparison was meant only to illustrate the fact that the artists who would be the most justified in having huge, ego-boosting signatures on their work . . . didn't.

Just keep defending your hero to fit that narrative you are pushing.

Yeah, that's wrong, because it blends in to the background and not noticeable as a primary subject like the player, the player's name, or the team name are, so it kind of refutes your whole, original point.

You are just being absurd. But it's a funny shtick, so you got that going for you.
