The other thing to remember is that the artists are adapting as this project rolls along. Under your premise, all the cards are done and are probably not as interesting or as good.

In Beckett interview Jamieson said that he "did a traditional Nolan Ryan. It was very close to the original card but just painted in my style. ”

Topps showed him the Ermsy Trout and he "thought that was so cool and inspiring” and he "went back and revisited his initial Nolan Ryan piece to push his own boundaries some more."

which cards?

Ozzie was always everyone's favorite though. Strawberry, not so much.....

It's not the same if it wasn't obtained personally, IMO.

oh wow! that must have been awesome!!!!

It was pretty cool. It got to the point where us kids had so many autographs, we kind of got autograph fatigue.

We did search for days and days trying to find Sidd Finch for an auto, even though obviously, his RC had not come out yet. Lol.

Naturel is cool and all, but every one of his cards looks exactly the same to me. Nothing different.

No two pack for me today.

It's either no cards or a TwinsJake kinda day.

okumeister · 06-15-2020, 10:46 AM

Don C Griffey is the other one today.
Pretty "unique" design in a way...
Honestly don't think a lot of people will like it, but I may be wrong.

That was my idea! I went to Topps and pitched them my idea for a "beach" card series. They laughed at me! I could have been a millionaire!

Most of the sub 3k print runs were over $300 over Memorial Weekend and are still tough to acquire at $100 auctions. I cant think of any that are at MSRP from those highs.

gamboooler · 06-15-2020, 11:02 AM

Not really feeling that Griffey but I'll still probably order because I don't want to bail on my Don C set 3 cards in.
