Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer - Page 3901

I don't think the "new" stuff people were clamoring for included 5 card runs from artists that got bored and wandered off.

I asked the guy promoting the signing what was up. I didn’t get much past “he chooses not to”.

I don't even remember any Frank Thomas P70 cards other than the Pose card that looks nothing like him.

I like the Infinite Archives. The others not so much.

I wonder if an artist will do a Cleveland card and use the Guardians name and logo.

I'm really surprised at how boring the Saladeen Mantle card is.

If I got busted stealing another artist's work and had to redo a card, I would work hard to make the new one really good.

I don’t think Topps could have anticipated them doing that either.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Do you hit home runs in every project you do?

Not every project is a winner but when most of what I do is garbage it’s time to self evaluate. That self evaluation doesn’t really exist with some.

Will Frank Thomas sign my nugenix bottle?

Nevermind, found it. Much better now.

At this point it is a worry anytime they are late to release. Chuck Styles posted he has a release today (A’s player), and Pardee has a Harper tomorrow.

Hopefully just late. Today's advent calendar card hasn't dropped yet either, and those have been out much earlier in the day until today.

20 cards are a ton of art. That's a huge undertaking, especially if you're not Vides-ing the set by using the same concept in each card.

It was predictable that so many cards would have been tough for a few artists out of a group of 51.

It’d be better if had said, “He would prefer not to,” a la Bartleby the Scrivener.

His actual response was more Jerry Seinfeld.

That artist, (Jared Kelley), would have made some stunning P70 cards. Especially if given some free reign like everyone else.

I had this Jeter done several years ago by him:

I agree. I like Jared Kelly’s work. I also believe that fellow Topps artists Josh Trout, Mayumi Seto, and Paul Jennis all would have made better cards than most of the P70 artists.
