Never guessed I'd be less enthused by today's lineup of cards given the artists and players, but here we are.

Got the Matt Taylor Acuna. It is good, perhaps even better than expected. Classic, classy Matt Taylor.

The Ohtani is not good, unless you love The Matrix or something.

The Babe Ruth is showy almost in an understated Ben Baller kind of way. No thanks.

The Bo is a Risk card, which isn't the worst thing that could happen, but my excitement for it is around nonexistent. Anyway...

6/12 this week, including yesterday's 4-pack.

Topps could always open up Wander Franco to the artists to get one last surge for the set.

Admittedly this is not the most in-depth comparison, but feels like there is enough here to suggest Mountcastle isn't likely to win ROY.

No reason to when they could be saving him for a Project Rookie, 50 artists each doing a Bowman tribute for 5 rookies, staring 50 Wander Franco cards!

Zero Roger Maris. I am sorry but a chase card doesn’t count.

At least they are current players. No disrespect to Bo Jackson but c'mon.

I am on the fence about adding the Blue the Great Dock Ellis to my Dock Ellis mini-set.

Any thoughts?

I think I will purchase it.
