3. Saladeen Trout (I've been looking forward to this combo all set)
4. Blake Gibson (always nice to see a Blake)
5. Baller Koufax (I wasn't interested until I saw that Jackie)
6. Fucci Mays (he could throw a curveball)

No idea what's on deck for today but I'm very interested in what Fucci does with his Mays. Maybe we'll get another background monster a la the Brett

Naturel Ripken is going to be sick, but I can halfway visualize what it'll look like in my mind already so I'm not overly excited - still buying though.

Mister Cartoon has grown on me with his past few drops so I'm pretty stoked to see where he goes with his Trout.

Chang's Griffey is high on my list of anticipation. I feel similar to what I said about Naturel Ripken above, but I think there are more unknowns that could make it very exciting - the color scheme, what she chooses to highlight with her stylizations.

Favorite moment on an Efdot card? For me, Ichiro skateboarding over the rising sun amidst a sea of blob hands.

Gooden...dual signed

I vote "street scene" for the Mays background.

Thank you everyone for the Efdot thoughts. I've ranked on Gumstick's site. Ugli was the most persuasive, so I bumped Willie up:
1) Mark
2) Willie
4) Doc, cursed be his name
8) Mo
16) Jackie

When ranking, I was looking for A) amusing, B) memorable image, C) not too dark.

I just hit the halfway mark in my thirties this past weekend, so happy birthday to us "Christmas babies." I put that in quotes because my wife was born in September, so she's a different kind of "Christmas baby".

Happiest of born days to the both of you! Sorry you get shorted on gifts.

When's the Chang Griffey dropping? I need it like Dave Chappelle needs another bump of bugger sugar.

[Oliroller]

Efdot McGwire gets my vote. That card is awesome and looks great in hand.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but Chang's companion cards for Dodgers and White Sox have dropped. Chicago is limited to 200 cards.

I'm here for the $500 free crack giveaway! And by crack I mean more P2020 releases of course.

If the thread is boring next Thursday, just throw me a party in here. Should liven the place up. Put Kabrune in charge of gifts

[samcam]

Same...and I don't think I got approved to post till almost August or something hahaha.

[Shinjoy]

I hope Don C finishes by 1:00 today.

[vermonty]

Checked in on my lunch break and no new cards...

Catching up on the thread: really looking forward to the JK5 Koufax; Chang Griffey, Cartoon Trout and Jamieson Gibson should be good.

I'll have to think hard about Efdot. The Frank Thomas yesterday was sweet. I really love the Gibson. The Ichiro is fun and the Ripken remains one of my favorites hundreds of cards later...I also can't wait to see the foil Mattingly.

The comment approval process did take a long time, I ended up sending an email I think.

I like the Don C Jeter next to his Mattingly. Not nearly enough to buy either obviously, but they would make a nice side-by-side display if one were so inclined.

EfDot's best, either his Willie or his Doc, just depends on the reasoning. I'll always look back on the Doc and remember this year, the project, what one meant to the other, etc. so it gets my vote. The black shadow next to McGwire's left leg, and then the black space below him take that card out of the running.

Saving both Trouts for the very end.

[vermonty]

Cards are up!

I really love Efdot’s set as a whole. His Rivera is my favorite. I think you can easily throw a dart at his Mays, Mark, Sandy, Frank, Gibson, Doc, Ripken, and be happy calling it his best.

I am just splitting hairs here, but Jeets and Griffey are at the bottom for me. Jeter looks a little bland when compared to the rest of the set. I can’t get past Griffey’s facial expression. I really really wish he had used a different image.

The Clemente is terrible, but amusing. I hope Clemente fans enjoy the foil.

The Mattingly AP is lasting quite a while?

[cnote81]

5 minutes? Not terrible for APs the last few weeks
