Smart move by Topps, if true.....they've probably cleared close to $10 million just off his Project 2020 cards....

Simultaneously think we've jumped the shark and interested in the price/breakdown.

One of my least favorite artists in the project 2020 set. But, maybe his card will actually look decent with chrome refractor technology.

Would be nice if they created an insert set of his P2020 redone with the chrome but can't happen with less than half his P2020 set done

There are 400 cards in Project 2020, next season will have been canceled by the time the last one comes out.

His personality is really growing on me, he and I are both into jewelry, art and cards. Except the poor guy pays way more taxes than me!

I think we've now officially jumped the shark with cards. These new sets are so ridiculous.

Interesting product especially if it's neither a low-priced set with crappy parallels and no autos meant to capitalize on the moment (think the Mandalorian Child blaster) or a "high-end" box with diamond encrusted cards or teeny gold bars like Panini does.

Regardless, Topps made a wise move with this collab. If any P2020 artist personifies the blinginess of chrome cards that would no doubt be Baller.

Topps Chrome x Ben Baller actually seems like a perfect combination.
A lot of people were complaining how his cards looked dull with the bling just pictured on surface of the glossy cards (saw these comments especially with the Ichiro).
With chrome/refractor finish, I think his bling will work well, though of course it's not going to shine like a diamond.
