Here is a short video showing the process (this does not show the countless hours spent choosing/ageing the wood, carving the blocks, making/selecting the paper and inks, etc.) for those who may be interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlEhQ4VCAX0&t=210s

Yeah, unfortunately, that'll likely be part of the problem with the card in hand. I don't think it'll print well, though it looks good onscreen. Though perhaps it'll print in a way that is less jarring with the overexposed image of Ichiro.

As someone collecting JK5, I did not care for that card. Bit of a mess, looked like an unorganized tagged wall/facade with a mural on top.

Black Friday coupon got me to pull the trigger on a Saladeen Jeter print. Think I might prefer the /99 frame over the /20 frame but IDK since I haven't seen a silver yet.

I know I’ll never get through to Topps but maybe Amex will price protect this one for me

Enjoy the Jeter, great print!

Go to the checkout page for a print, they are pretty cheap right now.

This sale is pressuring me a little bit!

Agreed. Do I want one for less, or do I want to wait out for the one or two I think I really want and risk paying more? (always pay more for what you want, but this adds pressure)

gamboooler · 11-20-2020, 02:11 PM

Just so you guys know, this is a 24 hour preview thing but they will bring the same deal back on Black Friday. Only risk is they pull the prints from the eligible sale item list. But it's Topps so I guess nothing is ever guaranteed.

ChutneyGrey · 11-20-2020, 02:11 PM

Looks like the sale is going on now......great I'm about to my prints I don't have wall space for.

Or certain prints sell out by then. Even though I still don't know if 120/121 prints is for sure the max.

120 is the max

mudflap02 · 11-20-2020, 02:17 PM

Sucks for the people who bought them for $400 per. If they essentially cut the price by half less than 2 weeks after they were initially offered for sale, I wouldn't be happy.

I mean Shore Griffeys are definitely available for less than SRP, but not directly from Topps.

ThoseBackPages · 11-20-2020, 02:17 PM

easy pass on both cards today

Also true.

Not if you add them with a print.......just tried still get the 40% discount. My guess the Robinson/Ermsy print run will be high, flippers can buy a few 10 packs and prints and increase odds for the foil card.

What would we guess foils go for? I don't think they settle over $100.
