The Mantle definitely does not look like a Chuck Styles card to me.

Haha! Snoozer of a selection of players, but nice set of cards.

The Ohtani is intense and fiery.

The Jeter is "cute." The block graphics make me chuckle, even if I don't understand the specific reference.

Chuck Styles manages to pull off the rare feat of making the 52 Topps Mantle portrait look good, and a wrapper finally makes an appearance!

Best card of the day is the Greg 'CRAOLA' Simkins Fernando Tatis. Snagged an AP. It's still unclear to me why Topps keeps referring to him as "Fernado."

4/4 today, relatively easy decision.

I would have rather it been a younger player since Minecraft didn’t come out until 2011. Or a Seattle player since Microsoft is based outside Seattle.

But whatever, it is who Ermsy picked and I like his video game inspired cards.

Of the 8 cards for sale

2 Jeters
2 Ohtanis
2 Tatis
1 Yankee

Lincecum for the win!!!!. Wow. I hadn't paid much attention to the card, but quickly noticed the Grateful Dead 13 point lightning bolt and the psychedelic ballroom poster vibe of the card.

Grateful Dead finally making an appearance in p70. It's about time.

Thanks for pointing this out. Initially I was thinking this doesn't look like a normal Styles card and honestly didn't like the card within the card look. Makes me think of the terrible Topps Now inserts. I can live with it knowing it is a wrapper card.

It's a very spot-on reference to Minecraft, both my kids sincerely chuckled at seeing the card this morning, ages 5 and 9 and to their eyes it's just a funny-looking Steve (the character that you play as in the game).

Like the Styles Mantle. (Nice integration of the wrapper.) The pinhole in the top border is a nice touch.

And this is why I always buy two if it's a card I really like.

Super happy. My Bo Jackson Naturel cards arrived over the weekend and I scored a Raiders Bo Jackson chase card.

I collect Bo Jackson cards, and I'm a Raider fan, so this is going in my PC. Fantastic card.

I'm glad I saw you say this. Need it for my run, but totally missed it was his. Assumed Hundreds.

There are 129 Yankees cards in the set. There are 168 unique players/managers in the set.

At the rate of Yankees compared to new subjects lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees number is higher by the end.
