Yes, I called up a week or two ago and they shipped it out immediately. No problem except for the annoying music that they played while I was on hold.

I was holding out hope they were sending me something cool but it certainly feels like it got lost in the shuffle.

I was really trying to avoid calling them. Perhaps I will call them tomorrow morning bright and early.

I have one no label created from July 16 I just e-mailed on.

I just didn't want to admit it was over...

Hope you like pan flutes (or a cheap patch approximation of a pan flute). Actually I'd be fine with just pan flutes, but they really nailed like the 1980s butt rock sound and somehow it features a pan flute instead of facemelting guitars.

It's not something that bothers you until you've heard a couple hours of it.

Same. Did I expect a full painting with the likeness of his regular work for each card? Of course not. But damn this screams lazy to me. I'm very disappointed, as I was looking forward to see what he'd bring to the table.

Well I just called them and was first in line and got somebody right away if you feel like expediting the process. Very little pan flute music for me.

Like others have said, it looks like a greeting card. In general, I'm not into the cards that look like Pardee's, but his is the best card today.

Idunno, this one is taking me on a good trip. It meets my I'd get it if it were Tom Seaver threshold. It's an important addition to the OMA song book.

All of his cards are built on nostalgia. I was wondering how he'd pull this off for active players. But, this one is full of baseball nostalgia. I can see Bellinger fans thinking that there's not enough Bellinger in this, but it feels timeless, like I'm both looking at a Bellinger card and and zooming through 150 years of American history. I'm listening to Stephen A Smith and reading Ring Lardner at the same time. I'm in my time machine because OMA is:

A) Hitting the red, white, and blue Americana, but not doing this in a cliched or schmaltzy or kitschy way
B) Emphasizing the classic fonts that are both 19th century (BELLINGER CODY) and 20th century (LA 35). Someone who is a font expert should riff on this
C) Using stripped-down photos to show some Bellinger, but also make them look like standard, stock baseball photos.

Acuna AP is gone.

I think we should stop pretending they're ever really for sale

Great news!!! I was #6 when I called up, but didn't have to wait too long. Hopefully Topps is stepping up their customer service game.

I've been waiting on a Panini Juan Soto redemption for over 6 months, so Topps is not at the top of my hate list.

cards aren't even listed yet and the AP's are sold out

Where do you see AP's?

ReidDeGoo · 03-04-2021, 11:34 AM

Not sure anybody shares the same sentiment as me, but gosh I severely dislike these bots and hope bad things happen to those who have them (unless they share with me)

I spent all morning trying to get WandaVision Funkos. I'm not too mad about wasting a couple minutes to not get this.

ctcardexchange · 03-04-2021, 11:35 AM

I'm going to have to resign myself to hoping for a foil. 0-19 on delivered cards so far

I have a friend who should be pretty happy we finally got a 1958 Topps-inspired card in this set. About time!

How is this 1958 Topps though? I'm not too familiar with vintage cards so honest question. Doesn't look very similar.
