Sweet, thanks to both Tyson and Viking6 for your answers. Those cards are crazy cool in hand. Such a great presentation all around, packaging included. Premium all the way, im sure it was a task creating such a premium feel, just know its not lost on this collector. Excited for the Kuzma drop.

Finished my version of the 1982 Cal Ripken card, took some inspiration from Efdot and threw a handful of references/easter eggs in there. I consider there to be 8 references/easter eggs, all pretty easy to spot (nothing hidden) and I think y'all will be able to identify all but maybe 1 of them



I will post an Imgur album explaining all references and inspiration behind this design later today. Hope y'all enjoy, I had a blast with this and might just start working on another card just for the hell of it

The Rivera would be the best one in the actual Project 2020 set!

Maybe Ohtani could figure a bit more prominently without running afoul of good taste.

This is way cool! I wish I was talented enough to do a card in less than 1000 hours.

I think Shore may do the barbershop quartet like someone said earlier. Would love to see Mookie Betts on there with Trout. Just not a Harper fan at all.

Thank you! Honestly I would have been completely lost if I didn't have software that allowed me to trace over and import images. Doing anything freehand is not my forte

Yeah a little lower than I expected, but it's alright. I also backed off a bit on my own purchase, and will prob only do signed/numbered of like 50-75 on this one.

Cal Ripken on deck!

Got my 5 pack of Grotesk Jackies today (first and only multi-card purchase for me, so far).

Card is amazing, although I'd prefer it if more than 2 of 5 were centered.

Visual art is not mine, period.

If somebody did a Topps greeting card that plays a song when you open it, I could write the music for it.
