LOL. That may be going a bit too far but it's off to a nice start. It also has around the same print run as the Shore Ohtani which is settling back down to earth after the initial spike. This will be fun to keep an eye on the next few weeks and see how it plays out.

Wow, wasn't expecting another Ermsy already so his Soto makes it a 1 for 12 week so far

No way dude, you were serious? Delicious!

Not sure about serious but it fits with his posts on other threads.

On demand printing is not going to immediately provide huge profits for the base cards, ever. Also, none of these cards have sold for less than $10 right after delivery.

not US300

I wonder if the Ermsy Soto will capture the spirit of the nation and the world.

The Ken Griffey Jr SNES game was AWESOME.

Fun stats fact. Harper has the same number of cards in this set as Dock Ellis. Almost the same total print run as well.

Kind of low for a guy on a HoF career trajectory.

Kind of funny for a guy who will most likely be in the HoF after his career is over.

Bryce will be in the HOF

Seems like Topps is leaning on some of the artists to keep things going right now. I like the Ermsy Soto, even though it's more SNES box art. I think the Rochester Ohtani wins the day.

DioBrando · 12-08-2021, 10:42 AM

Couple of the artists have to get getting close to 20 cards now right? Vides, Craola, Ermsy are up there.

Fun and strange indeed. I've been waiting patiently for a nice Harper card and I think today is the day.

No crickets, just had other things including personal stuff slow him down. He has commented a few times on social media about it.

I follow him loosely on insta and twitter. But hadn’t come across any p70 talk so i wasn’t sure. I know he did some garbage pail work.

(Counted 14 cards for him btw, not sure if accurate or not. Surprised it’s that low)

*though wouldn’t surprise me if Topps is holding his stuff back too to end strong.

14 for Pardee looks right.

Hundreds is working on your 54 Topps Aaron. He is going to use the 1963 Tommie Aaron image though instead of Hank. That would actually be somewhat creative though, so don't hold your breath.

Today's cards are fine, and again, happy to have 4 cards, even though my guy Sean Wotherspoon is still nowhere to be seen...

Too many Ohtanis. I like Jacob Rochester, but not this card. Maybe it's the speckling or the colors or the pose or the big SHOTIME, but it doesn't work for me.

The Harper is fine but one of the least intriguing Matt Taylor cards in this set. Instead of funky like bouncy music, it's funky like old cheese.

Already saw the Mantle last night. It's possible I like it even less today. The colors don't work for me; the purple neon piping and crown look both cheap and goofy. There's too much gray and black. And what's the deal with the towel? If King Saladeen were less popular I'd say this was a good candidate for the lowest PR Mantle.

The Ermsy is fun. I'm curious about the free collectible baseball card inside. I've cooled off on horizontal cards, but I like the 1994 design and it feels more "traditional" Ermsy to me, which is fine.

1/4 today. Sprung for yesterday's 4-pack so I'm at 7/12 this week.
