This. I would of purchased this in a heartbeat if I saw it. I'm on Ebay everyday. Weird listing.

Best ghost artist cards: Toy Tokyo, Infinite Archives, Snoop Dogg, or other?

And out of those, which specific artist are you liking?

It looks so much like a friend of mine, I had to get him one.

In other words… we need more rookies in this set!

Yes and no. I feel like cards that can really function as an investment are out of my price range. I expect very long term, on average, the value of these Project cards will be a bit less than I pay for them, not worthless. That is the price of enjoying them and acquiring them when I do, frankly.

But, I think there are magnitudes more 1980 Topps Rickey Hendersons than the Matt Taylor version, whose print run is known. (Yes it's a niche product and not a real rookie card). Even Shore Griffeys are "rare" in some respect.

It is long from over. Lots more cards to go.

I’ve also noticed that Tatis cards often sell over $20. Also, there are enough buyers that most auctions stay over $10 a card. Ignoring that horrible idea of a lot, which I guess saved the seller packaging and shipping time.

Could one of these artists just do 13 different Tatis cards to finish out their set?

Big fan of Taylor’s set last year, but this is insulting/depressing…still undecided which.

Holy shXX.

The Taylor Henderson is one of my favorite cards in either project. Along with Siff Ripken and pretty much every Efdot from P2020, those are cards that will permanently find a home in my collection. This sale almost sickens me to have missed. I'd have been a buyer waaaaay over the $120.

It's a print on demand product. There's no reason to think it's ever going to less than $3. The supply will shrink well before then.

I broke out my Taylor set this afternoon and feel a little better now. It is a beautiful run, so can only assume this was an anomaly and not indicative of the true depreciation (approx. 80% off MSRP).

There have been other times when lots of project cards have sold for way less than expected so I don't think this is a sign of the apocalypse. Looking at the listing reminded me of how much I liked some of his P2020 work. His Gibson is an underrated gem. Really great looking in hand.

I'm just glad I actually like these. I'd throw out a third option though—annoying.

First time the back of the card is illustrated. Curious as to who the ghost artist is.

Did anyone else see DJ Skee's video for the Ohtani card release on Monday? It came up on my Facebook. Every purchase is going to get you a free entry into a card break with Coffee Breaks. Something like buy 1 get 1 spot in the break. Buy 2 get 3 spots and so on. Buy 200 of the Ohtani get the entire box. That's why there is a code on the back because you have to provide proof of purchase to an email address..

The QR code on the back is for the Spotify playlist that is unique with each card.

To enter the break, you just need to email your Topps receipt as proof of purchase.

Got it. I was too lazy to go back to Facebook and find the video so I was trying to remember what you needed to do off the top of my head.
