Beauty!

I don't love the parallels from 2017, but that camo is sick.

2 bombs today and 6 on the year. Yet haven’t heard a word about this guy. So under the radar.

This looks like the year he finally turns the corner offensively.

Bigger story, only one RC logo issue - flagship.

Him and Olson might be the two most under the radar superstars in baseball despite being probably the best corner combo in the game.

Olson's under the radar-ness drives me nuts as a card collector since I collect him and Topps likes to give him the shaft.

They left him off of Finest Flashbacks for crying out loud. And they made him 'extended set' for Finest. They also didn't include him in things like the clear acetate set for 2020 flagship and the chrome set for gypsy queen. Come on!

Last year imo was the offensive breakout, his counting stats were nice 102/36/90. Now he needs to maintain and eliminate the 3-4 game slumps which eat at him.

Still awesome to watch him on defense. I think it was Altuve he robbed the other night on a sweet diving play to his left. Cannon arm too.

As an A’s fan, I’m used to people overlooking our players. But Matt chapman is a top 5
Defender in the league. And he also takes. Put him in the mvp race

Chapman is really good. I think he suffers with collectors like Trout does because some say they are vanilla or boring. They are flashy or swaggy enough for today’s fans. I like the head down and play approach myself. Ref man gets more attention because of his brashness and his stats are solid as well. If Chapman can put consistent seasons together I think he will cement his collectibility.
I also like he only has the Update and Chrome Update RCs. Hard to find.

Finally got around to getting this slabbed. Was fully expecting a white label so I'm definitely pleased with the 8.5.

Wow!!!! That’s awesome!

Rabs · 08-15-2020, 07:07 PM

Great card!

17 Topps parallels definitely could have been better. Can barely tell it's not a base and it's the 1/1 version!

It’s particularly an issue with the update series

Worse than Series 1 or 2? Figure it would be the same.

Yes - somehow the tint is much harder to see in update than in series 1 or 2... I think @LVDan has some good example comparisons to check

Chapman is doing that thing he does again. After going on a tear, he's 3-for-23 over his last six. BA down to .238. :/

Hell yeah, Chapman is fun to watch when he's hot. And the defense never slumps!

Where did these sweet gifs come from? I don't know why but they crack me up. Is this a movie/tv show?

The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience, Netflix. Yes, it's funny.
