If the card needs to meet your artistic qualifications then the player isn't a must buy right?

Exactly. I can sit here and say I will buy every Eddie Murray card, but if it resembles the Siff Clemente or Ron English's Yogi I would not.

I definitely could have worded that better. I look at Topps Project 70 purchases as:
1. Is the player one I want in my collection? (Josh Gibson, yes)
2. Do I like the artistic take on the card? (I don't know yet)
The purchase has to hit both for me to make the purchase.

I hated the Siff Clemente too when I saw it...it's weirdness grew on me and ended up buying one later. That Yogi though, that's a nightmare on cardboard

Gregg Jefferies is a must buy player for me.

I don't care who the artist is, or what the card looks like.
If there is a p70 card of Jefferies, I'm buying it, and I'm buying multiples.

I did not.

Don't hold your breath

THammers · 03-31-2021, 08:51 AM

Do any of the Patreon folks have insight into the prints at the end? Will they be unique or is Topps just going to put all the cards into a print?

As much as I love the Mets and Greg Jefferies I think it’s a safe bet to say that we will not be seeing him in this set. Way too obscure for this kind of release (yes I know Coco Crisp was too.)

Same with Kevin Maas and Rusty Kuntz

Topps hasn’t shared any insight into this yet. It’s probably a print with all 18 cards and 2 wrappers on it. I am not expecting anything mind blowing.

I'm just giving you a hard time. I thought it was kind of a funny sentence. Absolutes get us all in trouble.

BH34 · 03-31-2021, 09:01 AM

I'm gonna hold out hope til the very end.

If Coco Crisp, Deion Sanders, and Craig Biggio can have cards, and Lasorda can earn multiple, surely Jefferies has a shot of getting one too right??!

True enough.

You're just looking for Orioles Murrays, right? That's one that I would have to consider, too. I loved watching him hit. I'm pretty sure I'm in for all Tigers, regardless. I wasn't a big fan of the Pose Kaline, even though I really liked the Rickey, but I still bought multiples. I know that I would regret not having them sometime down the road, and it has grown on me a little more since the drop. Plus, I know there won't be too many team representatives to worry about having to spend too much.

That would be super disappointing. If they really want to incentivize people to purchase a full set they should allow the artists to create their own print. Anyone can make a simple print of the cards themselves if they wanted to.

Purchase all 20 cards from any specific artist and receive an exclusive gold-stamped oversized print featuring all 20 cards!

That’s not the plan - it’s “an exclusive gold-stamped oversized print featuring all 20 cards”.

Unbelievable......come on Topps! Spread it out a bit

Oliroller · 03-31-2021, 09:30 AM

Serious question since I don't really collect baseball cards post-1980.....does Tony Gwynn have a lot more hobby appeal than Wade Boggs?

Ahh duh I feel stupid. Better to realize this now than half way through the runs I want. Might as well just buy the cards I want on Ebay or from Wheeler.
