I may be alone, but I really like the concept of the Hernandez card. The problem is that the execution falls short. When I look at my laptop monitor from across the room, the card is striking. I'll wait to see higher resolution images, but from the front page banner it looks disappointing up close....

With this set, I've stuck with artist proofs for the cards I really like. If I don't like it enough to buy an AP, then I don't buy the base card either, figuring I can probably get one cheaper later. And, if I can't...well, I didn't love it anyway.

So the short answer is: no.

But if the same concept had been masterfully done, it would have been yes on the AP.

Only two of the cards are showing up for me so far. A bit buggy.

Looking forward to about eight years time, when someone bumps this thread with a photo of their entire AP or foil set hanging on their wall. (With that many cards they could probably just build the wall out of the slabs.)

ATeamHasNoName · 05-12-2021, 12:30 PM

think I see the cards now... ~~but no AP? unless they sold out... which I doubt...~~

edit: they weren't on the "Online Brands" page but I see them on the P70 page

vermonty · 05-12-2021, 12:31 PM

Cards are up for me.

For anyone that was into eTopps this was the ongoing joke. I got a few hundred "Redskins" (can I say that?) cards I could build an igloo with.

Easily my favorite Action Bronson card so far.

The Action Bronson card is actually pretty funny and fits in with his prior cards. Not gonna buy it myself but it's enjoyable.

Because there are lots of good players who don't have a card yet. Why two Doc Ellis and zero Willie Stargell? A "We are Family" Stargell card is more relevant than a card of an one time all star.

We’re only 1/5th of the way through this.
There’s only been one Cubs card so far, but I’d be surprised if we finish with that number. (Just don’t let the next be Sosa.

)

I'm so mad I didn't get in on AB in the beginning. I love his set.

I'll beat the drum for a Stargell too!

Yeah swooped an AP for sure! I have plenty of the Turn Ahead the Clock giveaway hats around. Always wanted the jersey! I have the tattoo...but mine is so old and faded and about 1/10th the size (same arm tho!). I think I got mine before this game.

Even as a Dodger fan this is a great. I'm filipino and have supported Quiccs from card #1 and for him to do "The Freak", another filipino is just awesome.

The Timmy is awesome! Quiccs is doing a great job. He was dominant for awhile there. I met him and his dog Cy. Timmy is just a nice dude from Seattle who appreciates Hall & Oates and plants.

He was a monster so I still hope Pardee might do him.

I actually think the Munson Claw is a cool card. Great looking design IMO.

The Fisk is so good. I'd attend a JK5 gallery of the originals. The details with Bossk and the Salinger ref...I just love how deep he is. I'd also attend a psychedelic session with the man. Let's go inside and explore this that is and really examine our nature!

Of course I love the Tim Jacob. Great image, the bat over the border and the font. Player seems to be a fine selection to me.

I won't assume anything for Wheeler, but he is just getting burned like the rest of us so I wouldn't blame him for turning bear.

I admit I am super tired of Topps mailing it in to us after already tanking all of our TP2020 stuff and jacking up the AP price beating exactly zero bots.

10:15?!?! An hour or two or 30 minutes early or late, like every other day. I want to see the cards and check the drops but this is just abusive.

The least they could do is respect our time but nah, they don't GAF.

I have bought one card this week. Will grab Timmy. May grab Tim. Probly snag a Will because Bobby is cool and he's making it fun. Action Duque is fun, not sure if I need to chase it.

byronscott4ever · 05-12-2021, 02:28 PM

The Hernandez looks like a glitched Sportflics card...or the few like it UD tried

The Chang is a nice design change from most of her cards

They are cheap enough on eBay. Lucky for you the demand isn’t there.

niklday · 05-12-2021, 02:47 PM

By my count, the 3 new players today make 97 unique subjects over 193 cards. By the end of the week we'll be at card 201. I think we'll reach 100 unique subjects by card 201, but it could go either way - we've had a few days of no unique subjects and a few days of 3 unique subjects in the last couple of weeks.

Silas Barnaby · 05-12-2021, 03:23 PM

I have the Action Bronson Mattingly and Henderson and will order the El Duque.

I can't do the Yogi Berra card. The finger nails and old hand skin is too off-putting.
