Let’s add another good seller to the list- toppsproject2020

I know I know lame name but they had the foresight to get in on it early. Shipped me a $250 card that I originally paid $35 for.

So we are giving props to sellers for doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing? Are the bad sellers really THAT prevalent with holding back cards that now cost more than what they sold them for?

I mean.... just over $100 over 3 purchases were cancelled on me. Those cards are now a combined $1,000 and ruined the main set I was wanting to make (mcgwire).

So if a seller comes though on a card that is worth almost 10x what I paid two weeks ago- yah man I’m gonna give them a shout out here so others can file it in their brain when they go to make purchases.

You’re free to do whatever you want with your purchases!!!

I am nervous about sellers honoring my presales.

The delays by Topps are manageable if you know they'll arrive eventually but it really impacts the secondary market.

If I miss the boat on a card, I rather pay later when the card is in hand.

79 Jackie Robinson Mister Cartoon 11,643
80 Willie Mays Sophia Chang 10,480

Good luck everyone!
Very possible that these can be had in a year for $20 or less.

But, it's also possible these could be considered SPs if things continue.

As has been said before, 5K, 10K, even 20K is not a lot if the demand is there (Acuna Bat Down = ~20K).

It appears (but is unproven) that there are a lot of new collectors coming from non-traditional sectors.

If the +/- for Blake's Trout is 50K...who is taking the under?

I think currently should be
SSP - 2500 or less
SP - 10,000 or less

I only outlier is wallet fatigue, only roadblock in sight

Siff/Brett is one I keep looking at and think it’s just the star of the series in terms of artistry.

The colors that are true to the OG but all the snippets inside are crazy.

It seems to not pop up as much as the other early big dogs either.

Just an observation for tonight as I whimper that I didn’t grab one.

Got my final secondary market Project 2020 card this afternoon-Grotesk Clemente.

So glad to be out of it permanently. Now if I can just get the 17 cards owed to me by Topps thing would be splendid

I'm sensing some dejection from the increasing print runs. People should be happy that more people are getting their hands on these beautiful cards.

That's good to hear. I've got a Beck Brett ordered from him and that one has skyrocketed since my purchase.

I think it's mostly to let others here know that these are sellers they can have some trust in
