Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer - Page 2516

Does anyone know how many Crown Coins you need to obtain a Cadillac?

Will need to see his Gwynn in hand to make the call on that one.

Similar feelings about the Rivera, Thomas, Rikpen, Brett and Griffey. Ichiro and Williams seem really similar in composition to the Mattingly. Gooden, Henderson and Mays lean too heavily on his fire motif for me.

Why not use the Gateway Arch or a Churchill Downs reference?

Having lived in northern Indiana for a while, I imagine that people in Evansville still feel a connection to the Indy 500. At least, it united Bears and Colts fans where I lived.

Also, it works with the color scheme. And, the card as a whole looks like a car drove over it.

I'd guess because Evansville is in Indiana, even though it's near other states.

I like the weathered look of it. It works well for 1952 Topps, and it's retro yet modern! As a print, it would match well with stylish midcentury modern furniture, for those who have soured on the Matt Taylor Jackie.

This remains one of my favorite takes in this thread. Expect it to make an appearance on the next survey.

Fucci's Mays is a masterpiece.

Nice strong finish for Beck.

IT'S ALMOST OVER JOHNNY

mudflap02 · 12-17-2020, 01:41 PM

The one matchup is STILL tied, even though the votes are higher. Slugging it out.

Just to clarify for the record in case people in the year 3050 look at this thread without reading every single post:

This is adapted from Silas' take on the Matt Taylor Jackie card working well as a print in a midcentury modern living room.

I forgot about that. Points to you for giving credit where credit is due.

Don C Jeter now selling for $9.99 shipped - I think the print run is going to be crazy high (by December standards) on this one.

Over / Under 10k?

tblood · 12-17-2020, 01:52 PM

Under 6,500.

The dot placement on the Vides Clemente is breathtaking...

Sorry, it's almost over. I had to get one more jab in there. Lol.

it's really the dots that aren't there that set this one apart.

I feel like I blinked and the foils are already all out. Do we still have any artists that have yet to release theirs?

I haven't seen the others confirm, but guessing Cartoon and Saladeen go with Foil with their Trouts.

Silas Barnaby · 12-17-2020, 02:39 PM

Did Topps announce no new prints until the released ones are sold out?

I don't follow their Twitter.

Shore Jeter (Dec 4) hasn't shipped for me yet...has anyone received those yet?

ThoseBackPages · 12-17-2020, 03:04 PM

i have not

ctcardexchange · 12-17-2020, 03:21 PM

I got my OMA Ichiro's today. I have to say, I'm quite pleased with how they look in hand. There's a tremendous amount of detail. It almost looks like real cloth. He really stepped up his game in the end. He must have been listening to all the constructive criticism on this forum.

Oh, and I ordered 20, got 21 and of course the foil was the last one. Made me sweat it out after getting shafted on my Siff Trouts.

I am glad you got one this time around. How does the foil look compared to the base?
