My opinion of them has actually gotten worse.

That was the only card I bought last week. Was waiting till today to pick up the Ermsy and Pardee All Star cards, but now thinking I'm gonna pass on both. Pretty sure the pra will be high and I can pick them up later if I decide I need them

Ohtani by Naturel
Baddoo by Tyson Beck
Blackmon by Jonas Never
Phillips by Blake Jamieson

DioBrando · 07-19-2021, 09:25 AM

Like the Ohtani from Naturel. May have to pick it up. Of course he releases that after I dropped his set.

Oliroller · 07-19-2021, 09:26 AM

Brett Phillips is the perfect troll card for this set

SethMurphy · 07-19-2021, 09:33 AM

That Brett Phillips is EPIC!

440ToCenter · 07-19-2021, 09:41 AM

Rizzo struck out Freddie Freeman this year, fun to watch non pitchers on the mound.

I've never heard of Brett Phillips before this. Assumed he was a rookie.....looked him up, I assume there is some sort of joke with him having a card or is friends with the artist?

Did you not watch last year’s World Series?

No, not really. Neither Cardinals or Reds were in it so didn't pay much attention

Then that makes sense. The guy is one of the best personalities in baseball right now.

Im guessing part of the joke is of a position player pitching. Since Brett Phillips made his pitching debut over the July 4th weekend, thus the reason he is depicted wearing one of the awful New Era July 4th marketing hats.

Otherwise Phillips is known for being a hero as a runner-up in last years world series.

After swearing off APs a month ago, I couldn't resist on the Naturel Ohtani today.

I too like that Ohtani! Only my third Project 70 card and first AP. Price was a little steep at $225. But I still think it's a good buy.

TruBlueBrewCrew · 07-19-2021, 10:26 AM

How long after the AP's do the Auto's usually drop?

Midnight Marauders is top 5, maybe top 3, album from my youth and was the second rap CD I ever bought (after Low End Theory). Tribe has been huge influence on me since 1995 when I first got introduced.

Skee's rip off of the aesthetics from those albums is lame.
