If I thought about value much I wouldn't be here lol Of course one of the only ones (that I'm aware of) that's somewhat taken off is the Pardee Acuna which I skipped 😑

I like the water color touches on the Griffey and the old logo.

Too be fair, they start out around $17 on EBay thanks to presale foil chasers. We really should be asking if these are worth $17, not $20 since that better fits with Topps bulk discount pricing.

Answer of course is still no for most of them until PRs hit low enough or demand shows up.

And when you see this.... oof

oh my!

The Yaz isn’t my favorite JK5. The colors are too faded, the shout-out to Blake and Skee make me face-palm, and it’s a little too heavy-handed of a tribute to JK5’s pencil (RIP), even by JK5 standards.

[vermonty]

Fair on the Jk5. Forget the auto-buy as part of a Wheeler artist set. I'm at the point where a "bad" JK5 is still in the top half of offerings in this set. And he is an artist whose evolution from Project 2020 to Project70 has been positive in my judgment.

Wait…

To commemorate #ComplexLand#@, Rainbow Foil editions /99 will be randomly inserted into each Project70 print run Wednesday-Friday!

Each day brings a new @Complex Land insert.

(Any purchaser of P70 is eligible & purchases can be made via ComplexLand or Topps.com.)

…what’s that mean? I thought foils were /70. They add another foil set or expand the current one?

This is the norm with P70 (and mostly 80-400 for P2020).....P70 has maybe a handful over $20 but seem to be moving lower every week

To me, even the worst JK5 offerings are interesting to look at. This isn't my favorite but I'd still put it in the top half of his stuff.

I think the progression of artists that carried over between sets has been really interesting to watch. Even though Ermsy remains a favorite of mine, I don't think he's really grown the same way JK5 has. Matt Taylor's consistency in design and palette for P70 has gotten just a little boring. Player choice aside, I preferred Rochester's movie/music poster approach. Thiele has approached P70 with a nice consistency in formatting that I prefer to his P2020 cards.

It's a subset. These are the foils...

[ptbbreaks]

Such a fun set. If you don’t like it, you’re wrong. Lol

The Infinite Archives gives him that smug, effortless look. I think you can read into it like "the Kramer" from that Seinfeld episode. Who is the actual artist? I am a big JK5 fan but I actually think the Griffey is today's best card.

Of course the Topps site lists the Ohtani as 1976, what else is new. Very amateurish on their part that once a week they seem to slap the wrong year on a P70 card.

Gimmicks

[Oliroller]

Those Complexland cards/foils are ridiculous. Why would anyone be excited to get that?

[ThoseBackPages]

what is complexland?

Ah ok. That makes more sense. Assuming each of those is /99. That's neat. Wonder if they'll be encased and all that.

LA-based annual convention for "street wear" and gen z-ers hosted by Complex "magazine" (I'm not even sure if they have a magazine anymore or if they're just an online thing). Usually an excuse to make exclusive merch to sell to teens so they can resell for 100x the price.

[BH34]

at the rate topps is coming up with these gimmicks, how soon will we see Project cards included with every Happy Meal?

Or maybe they should include a Valpak or Dunkin Donuts coupon sheet with every p70 purchase..

[Oliroller]

I'm sure the complete set of 3 will hold tremendous value

Absolutely. Unfortunately i wouldn’t be surprised if most of the people that get exposure to this are botters or botting adjacent
