Got my order of a 5 pack of Ermsy's Robinson just now, but there was a 6th in the box, so I am pleased with getting the Foil. They all look OC because of the way the card was created, but whatevs.

The day that dropped with Don C's best card to date (opinion obviously), the Gwynn, will forever be a nice memory from this set. Very few days I can remember the drop pairings and that one stands out above all others for me.

What are you getting for 18x36 commissions of other cards in P2020 style these days? Ha ha.

Stay well, enjoying summer?
Thank you so much! Great story to share. Haha, unfortunately I don't do commissions. Maybe later I will open that up but haven't done one in at least 5 years. Yes! enjoying summer here. Keep safe over your side.

All good - mostly a tongue-in-cheek question - there's an unfortunately-low limit to the number of giant baseball cards I can hang on the wall. Blake did one for me and it's probably enough!!!!

I've got a full set of Tyson Beck Project 2020 cards (not all in hand yet) and I agree that collectively it is one of the strongest.

I also agree that Beck Rivera is one of the masterpieces of Project 2020 (and is currently the leading candidate for 'Silas Barnaby's Framed Art Print' status).

I have nitpicked the Beck Jeter and Beck Mattingly out of a combination of Yankee fandom and affection for his other cards. (And sometimes I can be a dick.)

I am sad that this is ending so soon...

Mays has really great colors, the background design is so unusual, and it will stand out more in the his set with the vintage weathered look.

Fucci Mays is to Fucci Jackie what Fucci Ichiro is to Fucci Ted Williams.

Plus, the Fucci Clemente is horizontal

Me neither. I had assumed it's because the haters weren't invited. This is strictly a pump thread in 2021.

That drives me crazy too!

I am for some reason paying for PRO ZOOM so I'd be happy to host. I want to see all of your smiling faces, badly. I will have a large glass of whiskey and promise not to bring up taxes or photography.

I've seen a few great interpretations of the Siff Jackie, but I don't see it when looking at it.

I ordered it, so I hope it grows on me like Siff's Ted Williams did.

Appreciate you for grabbing all 20. something not many can say that's for sure! Nitpicking 2 cards is totally fine, I personally love the Jeter, visually that's strong but my cards aren't for everyone.

Having you invoke Fucci Ichiro only stirs rage and sadness at the fact that you have not yet provided the placard I will be placing next to my FAP if and when Topps gets it together and takes more of my money.

I agree that the Mays is outstanding. I passed on the AP today to get Mattingly and every time someone points this fact out, it stings a little.

Just to memorialize part of why it was so memorable for me. I think you (Tyson) previewed your card before the drop, so we knew it was coming, and knew it was strong.

"Def grabbing the Beck Rivera tomorrow" I would have thought to myself.

Then I recall seeing the Don C and almost flipping out over it... it was 'memorizing' or something if I remember correctly, and it stole my attention. For me, it wasn't a better card necessarily, but it was more surprising. That day was a good day. Two of the best cards in the set (for me).

Both cards are currently on my desk, with 5 others (Siff williams, Jamieson Gooden, OMA Ichiro, Don C Gwynn... then fucci mcgwire and ermsy henderson off to the side)

I have all 20 of your silver-framed APs /20. (A few still waiting to arrive).

If you’re ever in the States for an event, what are the chances I could get them signed?

FYI...Saying “NO!” won’t hurt my feelings.

Also have the full Beck set- it really looks great together. The conserved elements between (most) cards makes it feel cohesive. As a fellow Yankees fan, I'm going to say that my feelings towards the Jeter and Mattingly are not nearly as hard as yours. I like that he took big swings with both.

That card is so out there, I was afraid to tackle it. Maybe I’m ready now that I’ve see all 20 Fuccis. It should all make sense soon. I just have to get in the right frame of mind, put on the right pair of glasses.

I'm a sucker for bright colors!

Going through Project 2020 has made me realize my affection for the color yellow.
