Walt Weiss!!!!!!!!

The next best option to Pete Rose would be Johnny Bench, I guess.

I think it would be cool if anyone did some classic bay area players. McCovey, Gaylord Perry, Jack Clark, Will Clark, Tim Lincecum, Rollie Fingers, Catfish Hunter, etc.. I am bay area biased, obviously.

Really looking forward to a Fernando Valenzuela also though.

Ermsy - Charlie Hough would be awesome. One of my favorite pitchers.

Exactly. I mentioned this same request some pages back, that would be incredible.

Curious who he picks as his subjects though as I really don't think he followed baseball much prior to these projects.

True...True!

Pete Rose got turned down, but Topps selected Gooden and McGwire as two of their 20 players in P2020.

Silas Barnaby · 02-02-2021, 05:56 PM

Probably no Mickey Callaway cards either.

MLB will not allow Pete Rose

Oliroller · 02-02-2021, 06:02 PM

So Pete Rose can never be recreated on any baseball card due to his ban? I didn't know that.

Anything officially licensed by MLB.

Oliroller · 02-02-2021, 06:06 PM

Interesting. Thanks for the info TBP. I didn't realize his ban extended to baseball cards.

WhoKilledTupac · 02-02-2021, 06:11 PM

I thought even Mitchell and Ness wouldn't release his (Pete Rose) throwback jersey, due to the ban but it looks like they did make that jersey recently. Years ago I could have sworn they had a ban on him also.

Who sells more cards, Acuna or Walt Weiss. haha!

AirplaneDon · 02-02-2021, 06:29 PM

My opinion on the entire P70 will rest solely on if a small inclusion will be allowed on EfDot's first card or not. It will all hang on this one tiny, green thing.

Seems weird that Weiss only had 25 career HRs.

Whoops, didn’t mean to steal your idea! Guess that means I need to go back and read the last 2600 pages

I think it will be allowed Don, based on what we were shown.

This set has the potential to reveal whether certain collectors are 'hardcore' or merely 'casual'

I thought the 400 P2020 set was pushing the limits. I'll be impressed with anyone that builds a full P70 set!!

Probably 1000+

samcam · 02-02-2021, 08:26 PM

TP2020 ends and we celebrate and prepare our shrines of sporting art and next thing you know 900 cards in the face!

I think it's gonna be pretty sick tho.

I saw a redone Randy Johnson 89 Upper Deck somewhere today, or else I imagined it, but I think it was project related...looked sick.
