No, it’s ebay’s opinion. That is why the cards are selling so cheap.

They are terrible. At least we got the Oldmanalan Griffey this week. Otherwise it would be a big zero.

The non-childish way to communicate this would be "I don't care for them"

I have to say , that i love the Hendersons (all of them). I must be a sucker for the green/gold combo, and i love his batting stance pic, so i'm glad most have used that pic. I am continuing to love Chang's work as well. Chang and Efdot my faves still.

I find myself wandering all over this set. Not a lot of focus - trying not to get locked into a a complete set, but its soooooo tempting. Hate the idea of buying the cards just because it completes an artist or player set...so just letting the visceral reaction to the art drive the purchases.....and hey, if i change my mind i can buy on secondary market later.

That doesn't get any reactions. Hot contrarian takes are where it's at.

I found the Blake one on amazon. I purchased mine on ebay though as it was cheaper.

I’m actually a Beckett subscriber and just got my edition for August (with Jasson Dominguez)- they totally skipped me on July...never got it- figures the one I was actually hoping most to keep!

Got my JK5 Teddy Ballgame in the mail yesterday, looking good with the other 3 in hand so far.

It’s a beatiful thing, y’all.

10/10 would highly recommend for maximum P2020 thread enjoyment.

I agree. It’ll always be safeco to me. “Going to a game at safeco” is just vernacular there

Default Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer

Two dogs a beer and a ballgame for $20 those were the days

Mmmm I should do this, not like he's adding anything of value anyways. Just vehemently defending his son's photoshop skills

Rats isn't someone I would think would warrant an "ignore". He's got a different slant on this release. Doesn't make him a board criminal, IMO.

I usually try and save that for the real dummies. He has some decent takes on vintage.

I think that is Joe? He is still there. My friend has been going to him since 93. I don't use him though. My friend Randy runs Seattle Sausage a little further south, he has the Seattle Dog: Cream cheese and onions. 'Dog on a cloud'

Before the Seahawks exploded he used to let us set up and play music before games...fun times!

I have been tempted, but I like being uncomfortably confronted with opinions different than my own sometimes and I always hold out hope that situations or people can surprise you in the long run.

Who knows what valuable lesson or nugget someone that I completely wrote off can impart on me in the future?

I don't need people crapping rainbows but a thread for baseball cards should inherently bring joy!

A 99k PR card isn't going up in value?

This is the kind of astute insider information I'm willing to pay good money for!

I like it, though honestly I'd hoped for more from Chang.

Got my Blake Henderson yesterday and it exceeds expectations in hand.

The ichiro dog was that but had fried jalapeños. Delicious!

I hear you man! I finally sat down and went through what I have to see what I liked. The last few days have been more enjoyable knowing I am only going to buy some artists and players going forward.
