Yep, it was the first thing that went through my head. Hope springs eternal only to be continually crushed by people being rational and realistic.

I like it, whether more is added or not. Got away with a 3 card week last week. I've already decided on both on Tuesday.
Could be a big week. Also feeling good on "calling" the Chang Gwynn.

Are you sure that isnt the final card? You can see just a very slight faded image of his face in the circle. I cant see Chang doing a card like this though. Her cards have been pretty cookie cutter so far.

I hope that’s the final card.

par578 · 08-30-2020, 10:02 PM

I assumed it wasn't the final card. If it is, I may have to re-think things.

Oliroller · 08-30-2020, 10:04 PM

If that is the final card the boards will be active tmrw!

There's a four second gif of lines being sketched on the Gwynn that I took a screenshot from. I strongly doubt that the final card is a silhouette.

If we have a very brown standard Sophia Tony Gwynn + a Bob Gibson card that we already saw Friday, and we've already seen most of Tuesday's cards, and it sounds like Wheeler is on vacay, the start of the week is gonna be slowwwwwww.

Hopefully Efdot drops more cool promo videos for his Trout. Or the Grotesk Ryan continues ascending TO THE MOON.

Oliroller · 08-30-2020, 10:10 PM

I think lots of people would prefer this version to the expected one.

Oliroller · 08-30-2020, 10:13 PM

I think Blake and Efdot will EACH have higher PRs on their Tuesday cards than the two combined tomorrow if Sophia uses her regular image of Gwynn

Bold prediction, but it's interesting. I think Thiele's Gibson has had time to grow anticipation for, and Sophia Chang seems to have a floor around 3000 for now. There is something retro cool about the brown and yellow featuring prominently on a Padres card.

So we're looking at roughly 6000 total if MY prediction is right.
As much as I love the Gooden, even with a pairing with a cool Trout, it is a less popular player and a somewhat simple design. I don't see how it breaks 6000. That said, it could be close, and I might be wrong because the Monday cards could underwhelm in the PR dept. I hope all 4 break 3K as I hope sub-3K print runs were merely a slump.

Oliroller · 08-30-2020, 10:33 PM

I think the Blake/Efdot pairing will generate lots of 2 pack purchases, which obviously will boost Gooden. I dont see this Gwynn passing 3K. But its Monday and not Friday, which helps.

I don't want a ghost Gwynn card.

Maybe Topps could provide a real Tony Gwynn cut-out and some adhesive so that we could choose-our-own card. Or slip a few SSP Topps P2020 Negative cards into the PR.

You have 19 others with him on it in the set, stop being greedy.

ThoseBackPages · 08-30-2020, 11:05 PM

I'm with you here Don C. I stared at this image a long time, and the absence of Tony is so striking. He was gone way before his time, and this card evokes longing in me to see his smile, hear his laugh. Listen to his distinct voice. I met Tony at my HS baseball diamond during that MLB strike in the mid to late 90's in San Diego. Rancho Bernardo High School. He signed 3 or 4 cards for me with that smile on his face. Tony was a good man, thank you Sophia for taking me there.

Crap. Leave it as is Sophia pleeeeease.

I’m not panicking til TBP goes on vacay. That would be a legit crisis.
