I need to see them without the gold frames to really tell if I like them or not.

DioBrando · 02-25-2021, 10:30 AM

Ok, the Pedro card is unique enough I think im gonna have to buy it. The Ohtani is pretty cool, on the fence just because we have 1000 or so cards to go. The Turner is boring and forgettable. It should have a low print run, but won't since everyone thinking that will buy a copy or 5

Great point Silas. The gold frame really makes that Ohtani card pop

It looks like they had a Topps Now card that used it.

The 1982 border is interesting on this one. The image is so exciting, that it's begging for a full-bleed card. Putting it in the 1982 Topps design is like seeing a shark in an aquarium.

Is Turner an "obscure player" as far as these things go? To an East coaster, there were the relatively pedestrian Orioles and Mets stints; granted he's been heroic in LA, particularly in the playoffs. But without his beard and the Dodgers, he feels a bit like David Freese. No insult intended to Turner, rather a hope this may be a sign to come for us looking for out of the box choices.

Colonel Kurtz · 02-25-2021, 10:35 AM

It's Beck's best card yet.
The Turner isn't bad (not my style but I can see it being liked).
Pedro (just Pedro) is okay but all the other frilly curly cues is too much New England 1750's bedroom for me.

Most definitely. Plus, it looks like the start of spring in Boston, and yesterday's drop was so unsatisfying, I'm gonna see the good in anything today.

Are you still a fan of The GOAT?

Always curious to examine the weights of upcoming Topps70 shipment 3 pack:

Cards 1-3 weight 0.9 lbs
Cards 4-6 weight 1.1 lbs
Cards 6-9 weight 0.9 lbs

Hope that it is something "extra" in that 4-6 shipment

Your next post is #1,000, make it count.

Without the gold frame...

THammers · 02-25-2021, 10:51 AM

How fast will the bots gobble up the APs this morning. Thought I was going to like Distortedds more than I do. Will probably buy in case they get better. The Ohtani looks pretty cool too. Will debate on purchasing. Wasn't too excited about his P2020 work.

JRX · 02-25-2021, 10:53 AM

What is Pedro eating and why?

Distortedd '82 Pedro: Not really an illustrative style I go for, but its hers and I hope she keeps up the cyclops trend throughout.

Nevers '82 Turner: I like Turner and appreciate player variety, but dont think he alone will drum up many sales. Also, Nevers is a very good realistic mural style painter, but there isnt any oomph to it. I wish he would have painted the graphic elements rather faking them digitally (at least that how it looks at the this small scale).

i dont see the "1954" in the Ohtani

WillBaseball · 02-25-2021, 11:00 AM

Today’s Turner is the first that’s caught my eye out of the entire set so far. That’s a completely hand painted image. Never is a reallyyy good artist. Ermsy’s Tatis was the closest second but I didn’t pull the trigger.

Curious to what the print runs for Monday's cards will be.

Me too. I don't have a good feel for it. Ermsy Tatis still feels like the upper limit for now. Guesses:

Judge 9200
Griffey 7700
Cutch 5800

BigEd · 02-25-2021, 11:06 AM

Does anyone know how to get to an artist subpage before the listings have popped? I'm going to try for an AP.
