Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer

Felt it was a pretty big slap in the face with some of the names Blake used as 'hits,' (especially since these are basically all 5-10 cent bass cards anyways) but it is what it is.

I'm flip-flopping pretty hard. When I told my Dad about the fanny pack he was all excited. I'll give it a couple of weeks and see what happens. If there's no movement, I might open it and give the fanny pack to my Dad. He's an artist, so I can totally see him using it to store art stuff while he's working.

Even better.


Honestly, the fanny is pretty sick with a lot of drip (as the zoomers would say). It's just the player selection that was a gigantic letdown. Seems as though he just quickly gathered as many worthless bass kards from his personal breaks to spray down and toss in there.

Like 20% of my encased hits were current or future HOFers. Maybe I just got the short end of the stick, which is entirely possible. Most left me scratching my head.

It's not like it's sealed. It's pretty easy to open and close back. It's not like a sealed box where once you bust it, there's no going back. Have to say I have similar thoughts as ninja.

I will add on the plus side I thought it was cool that they are numbered as the first fanny pack offering. Also like that the packs are individually numbered on the inside and he autographed it (at least I think it's an actual auto???). That was cool. Just wish the player selection was better.

Yeah my 3 encased cards were Pujols Strasburg and Kirby Puckett (sold the Puckett for 50) while the 5 other cards were commons though one was autod by blake. At this point I'm just gonna try to sell the two other encased cards separately and then sell the Fanny with the 5 cards and hope to salvage at least a decent portion of my money back. Mad at myself for getting caught up in the hype and buying one of these. Ah well

Consider yourself fortunate. I would have killed for those 3 (all future HOFers) as an average baseline.

I think I just got one of the worst runs. That has to be the only logical explanation, because the breaks posted on youtube were far better. Even had a few of my encased hits (the worst names by far) in regular toploaders with his sticker on them. I'm guessing he ran out of one touches, or felt it would be disrespectful to house those scrubs in one.


Winsum, loozsum.

I'll have to go back and double-check what I got exactly. I did at least get a Soto RC though it was a Topps Now card. Still thought that was cool. Think I got a Harper as well for another bigger name. Got a Jackie Robinson P2020 (assume it was Blake's) but not signed or anything.

Don't think it gets much better than that, broham.

My best prospect was AJ Puk.


The immediate word that came out my mouth added a nice letter to that last name.

The box these come in is not sealed on the sides and can easily pull the fanny pack out and put it back in looking like it wasnt opened. SO, I wouldnt think about buying one of these on the secondary market thinking it hasnt been looked through. Im pretty dissapointed in the fanny pack. Im glad its at least MAde in the USA

My three encased cards were Dustin May, Stan Musial and Arnold Palmer. The 5 loose cards were nobody. He said he was gonna "load these up", yeah not quite. Was very disappointing.

Hold your fanny packs until Friday.

I heard Gary Vee is going to make a big surprise announcement about them.

LMAO, and on that note Im burning all my P2020 items, lol.

[UGLI baby]

I think you just gotta take the fannies as almost a total loss at this point, and keep rollin' with the punches.

I just wouldn't dwell on it or think of it in terms of value or investment.

Also: Reminder to everyone that utilizing the ignore list is an absolute MUST for maximum Project 2020 thread enjoyment.

[redauto5]

I didnt even buy any fannies but reading about everyone's sorrow makes me want to cry. A dark night in P2020dom. I think Blake and his chaps tried to do right by people, but the market is saying otherwise at this point. I may pick one up on the cheap as a memento of the times. Still a fan of Blake, he's a young cat with big dreams trying hard to be a good man. I can dig that.

On another note, Wheeler you still on the After Midnight tip? I bailed on last night's purchase, freaked out after sales slowed way down on the Mics and all the announcements of various P2020 ephemera yesterday. But we are under 100 left and I'm considering buying another couple. It's a Companion I believe in.

I didnt love the Jamieson Ichiro until I saw the teal border. The teal border makes that card.

Please remind me, How much did Blake sell the fannypack for originally? $300?

A part of me feels like listing it is just dying by a 1000 cuts each day. Maybe just ending the misery is what I need to do.

Of course me saying that is totally unfair to Blake, and I don't mean it like that. I really don't. I think Blake is an amazing artist and I think he really meant well. But, charging $200 was a bit high.

That's funny because my box was taped all over; on the sides and the long front. There's no way I'm getting that open w/o anyone knowing, lol.

BL comin' in...

[nerdherd020]

My fanny pack comes in tomorrow. I have already pre-sold it so all I will be doing is slapping a new shipping label on it and sending it on its way. I sold it here on Blowout a week ago so I hope the buyer hits a McGwire auto or Jackie P2020 base.

Blake is probably my least favorite P2020 artist, but, what, $240 for a painted fanny pack with plenty of stuff inside seems somewhat reasonable compared to $100 for a single mass-produced companion art card numbered to close to 1000, or $500 for an artist signature that's hard to read on a busy card.

All of the ephemera seems risky at this point unless you love the artist and don't mind holding it until the market is no longer saturated with flippers flipping.

I agree he should've put one hot rookie (hotter than AJ Puk) and one hall-of-famer in each pack, but paint-covered Mike Trout cards probably won't have much long-term value unless Blake ups his game in P2020. He's been quiet since his McGwire.

Is the fanny actually painted? I thought it was just printed like that

And here I am ordering the companions and autos for me because I like them.

Are most of the people here picking companions and autos to flip?

Oh, I was giving Blake the benefit of the doubt, and it had looked dirty/messy in a hand-painted way in the pictures that I had seen. A faux hand-painted bag is pretty bad.

[byronscott4ever]

Wasn’t there a Topps tweet about using both Blake Ichiro versions or did I misread?
