She has every right to be offended and I have every right to assess that.

Oh I see, if you think your dead relative is being mocked or not put in a positive light by a company looking to profit off of your relative's likeness you should just shut up.

This is the first Project related card I have bought since about #40 in P2020.

This is the Soto Bambino by Naturel. Print Run of 222.

its not a Topps card, but is awesome!

The whole point of the Illmatic cover is Nas as a 7 yr old about to grow up in a world of racism and projects.

All he had to do was get a photo of Satch as a kid (or have someone draw a realist photo of him if no photo is available) and this SATCH-AS-KID would be confronted with decades of baseball behind a racist color line that quarantines him into a future of project (alt league) baseball.

A first grader could copy the form of the Illmatic cover. And maybe understand that using a photo of grown-up Satch waters down the point of the LP artwork.

So your main issue is the card did not achieve perfection? Tough crowd, jeez.

jfc, Yanks and Dodgers again? Why doesn't Topps just spawn off special projects for that stuff instead of pretending this one is something that meaningfully represents anything beyond NY and CA.

P70 has created a lot to Dikembe Mutombo days in here.

His personal feelings aside, the "relationship" between the two is undeniable, as undesirable as it may have been.

Besides, if anyone's family should be upset about an artist rendition, it should be Jackie Robinson's, at Siff.

Jackie Robinson's family, Clemente's family, the Koufax family.....long line of relatives with good reasons to go after Siff

The data on this set will be fun to play with. I don't see a meaningful PR bump for NY/LA cards vs. others. I personally just think it's the bias of the participants, which Topps did select primarily out of a few markets (NY/LA and Philly has a couple).

ThoseBackPages · 03-12-2021, 03:16 PM

i dont doubt Topps struggled to fill 51 roster spots

JRX · 03-12-2021, 03:19 PM

I could see a situation where second cards will have a lower pr but won't be worth more similar to the issue 1 phenomena in comics.

ThoseBackPages · 03-12-2021, 03:19 PM

all of this crap is going to blend together

This is the truth. The Bo Bichette PR would be higher than another Mattingly or Rivera card.

Jo Adell sold 5400 cards.....Jacob Rochester has the right idea. Go with all prospects. Kyle Lewis is next for him, right?

It's fine to have a high bar, it's just when your bar is too high you start to get ignored. See Pitchfork.

To be fair, a lot of P2020 blends together. Most of the iconic cards are the early ones with low pr.
