So will the Siff Clemente have a super low print run because everyone seems to hate it or possibly top 3000 because people are buying it because they think it will have a super low print? I hated it at first but its grown on me. Still not buying one, but its different and stands out.

I think the Siff Clemente is one that will look amazing as a print. May be the 1 print I end up buying.

The gold frame 1:1 will be fabulous as both a card and a print.

Mister Cartoon's Cal Ripken was sneaky good. Didn't get a lot of love on here but it might be my favorite card of his.

People are really buying this crap?!

I have no interest in a Roberta Clemente.

How is this even in a set?

It certainly is! If Roberto didn't look like that lol.

Looks like a gym boss from Pokémon that will always lose tossing in the wrong ball LOL.

Did Ty Cobb actually look like this? Nice job on the makeup, looks like he is actually blushing at a little fun joke I told! Art is fun and we all have our own interpretations.

Crazy to me that the AP cards are still selling out so quick at $300.

He does, thanks to the card. Because according to Siff , “[t]his is a token. This is an archive. You turn that little 2.5 by 3.5” inch of cardboard into a time capsule that’s going to live on when you’re not here anymore. It’s going to say something about the person who played on and off the field and I think that Topps has done a great job at making cards freezing the memory and saving it forever. Those are legends that live in the palm of your hand.”

This also has a wallpaper design, it's also amusing, and I also thought it was a little sinister when I first looked at it.

Really, this. Project 2020 cards are a really cool souvenir from a unique year, but this group definitely made it more interesting than merely a set of art renditions of baseball cards.

I'm with you on Fucci and Efdot. I also prefer the Blake Jamieson and Siff Goodens. But the JK5 Nolan Ryan is so cool. That second hand reaches out and grabs you at 100 mph. It's a tremendous card.

Re: Joshua Vides, neither grabs me. I also think it will be tough for the Keith Shore Ryan to top the Strawberry card.

If you are arranging the Mister Cartoon cards based on their appeal to me there is the Clemente and then you need the Hubble Space Telescope to see his next card.

Well, there are only 20 of each...My guess is there are buyers delighted for the chance to get one [or more] finally, and these are the buyers pouncing at the chance. I was guilty of this on the Rochester Brett on the Monday of Thanksgiving week when we waited and waited...

But yes, while it is nice to have a couple, the price point is high especially when compared to framed prints, which look great, and are tempting.

FWIW, I’ve sold a lot more Clemente cards than either of the other two. In fact, more have sold than the other two combined.

Yes, only 20.

I can display 400 Silver-framed APs without an argument, but if I try to display 400 prints, I’d probably be headed for divorce.

60 APs will sell every business day this week, just like they did last week, will do next week, and will do so in under an hour. The prints probably aren’t doing that yet.

Sometimes there is value in smaller sizes.

Wow, Thiele Ichiro has to be an early favorite in the poll. Cartoon's Ryan wasn't that bad and it got crushed.

I find Mister Cartoon's Ryan to be pretty weak.

That was a pretty big mismatch.

Was always hoping to pull a gold frame, but didn’t actually expect to do it. Then out popped this beauty today...
