Do you know if your Koufax will be available as a framed art print?

sadly, i have heard of others having similar issues with mix ups and missing/extra cards

I switched to Wheeler after Twinsjake went silent. I'm only buying one card at a time for an artist set, so my orders are spread out. I received my first order of 4 cards when I asked about the order via PM here. I received the next order of 3 cards with no prompting whatsoever. This brought me joy. No more chasing down orders!

I bought another non-P2020 card from the site during P2020 and got enough coins to get a free P2020 card, and I've been able to get further discounts on a couple others along the way ($5 or $10 off at a time). I believe I have just over 100 coins now, so $5 off the next card I buy.

See you at the finish line.

0 days since the last Twinsjake mention.

Looks great Towerymt! Naturel is one of the 3 artist sets I'm collecting as well.

ThoseBackPages · 12-09-2020, 03:21 PM

sweet Natty Run!

Hope you utilize that awesome 1950s Space Age Pink hue and give the overall Gibson card a nice 1950s vibe

Just one more to go, and Gibson is going to be a fun one for me. That will have the 1:20 foil chance, and I think will be one of the last few cards in the set.

Only because it is you TBP, but I believe the word you were looking for is principle.

Not that I think this is a discussion worth getting bogged down in, but that seems like apples and oranges to me. He's not hyping up this product and then funneling customers to Topps and pocketing a cut of the sales, he's offering Topps product at a discount to anyone interested. Oh and not only that but he's willing to pass on any parallels or "hits" he gets, which is above and beyond IMO...I honestly don't know what anyone could possibly be complaining about. But I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time.

concerning the Foils, as long as he gets his first, since he ordered a lot of copies for himself.

but this is well beyond P2020

again, i have no issues with Matt, he's a valued member here, but to think its all out of the goodness of his heart is foolish (IMO)

Oliroller · 12-09-2020, 04:27 PM

I guess not many people are collecting Rochester or Rivera sets. Like others have said, that Rochester Rivera is a great card...a top 3 Rivera in the set. I know you all were in love with the alien reincarnation of Roberto Clemente, but to sell 300 less than that Mattingly is pretty shocking to me.

I'd really like to support the artists directly, but I can't bring myself to go buy direct from the company. There is no semblance of customer support and the various issues many others and I have experienced are too numerous to recount. Here is just one:

Case study, not related to Project 2020
I bought a single card of Derek Jeter Chrome Retrospective #2 on 6/18. My window to submit a problem with PayPal is 12/15, so I opened a case. Topps continues to churn out these cards, despite numerous delays that have now almost reached six months. If I send an email, nothing ever happens. Heaven forbid if I try to call them.

Am I sure I'll receive the card eventually? Absolutely. But what if I get the wrong card or what if it is significantly damaged and my window to submit a claim has passed? I don't have the time or energy to chase them down and I don't enjoy spending money on a complete crapshoot.

So I choose to deal with Matt for all my P2020 needs. He is passing through a good portion of his bulk discount and he is essentially offering to deal with any and all crap that Topps throws at him on my behalf. Thank you, Matt. I wish Topps had half of your ability to run a business.

Also, I can place an order on Wheeler's site in less than 30 seconds. It takes me 10x as long to limp through the mess that is Topps' system.

1977 Cloth · 12-09-2020, 04:29 PM

Rivera makes the all pink set. We have Blake's Griffey and several of the Gibson's, but the Rivera is way up the list.

Your order has been cancelled. Let us know if you have any questions.

We hope to see you again soon.

Thanks

TwinsJake

Fat chance of that happening

Yes, I like many others never got cards, had to open case, won, and then had one form his site with my credit card that I cancelled and got my money back....well that card came last week. Yup...cluless

I really like Don C, Beck, Chang, Efdot, Grotesk, Siff, Saladeen, Thiele...

What is your top 3 Rivera so far?

Who cares why he's doing it? He's offering a discounted product with superior service. It's a win for everyone involved. As far as I'm concerned, he's well within is right to keep any/all foils, autos, and golds that come his way.

obviously not many lol

Oliroller · 12-09-2020, 04:40 PM

I like Efdot, Chang, and Rochester as my top 3 Riveras. But Don C is a good one too.

Shinjoy · 12-09-2020, 04:49 PM

Rochester and Rivera have upper echelon artist and player sets, especially for the last half of the set. Too bad nobody is collecting either.
