I most definitely won't be buying my normal amount.

I hope that makes people buy more. I'd love to see this be a high-PR card so that it gets very little love in the future. My worry is that it will be very short-printed and it accidentally becomes another face of this Project.

My rant will be over after this post. I hope when card #400 is released, I can honestly say card #158 was my least favorite. To this point, I did not have a least favorite. I liked them all at least a little.

Yes, absolutely. And a few extra, just not the normal extra.

I can't tell if this is going to be low PR (I'll be upset I didn't buy), average PR (I'll forget this card existed until it ships and people start offloading), or high PR (I'm going to be so glad I didn't get one). If Wheeler takes it down from the site, I'll really be unsure of what to do. At least I have until Thursday to decide. I can focus on taxes until Wednesday night.

Has anyone heard if Ermsy is dropping a new card this week? I decided to collect his and Don C"s run. Unfortunately for me, i got in late and my 1st Ermsy was William's which means I'm stuck with the Ebay route if I want the Trout, Ichiro, and Gooden....Can't believe I may actual spend a couple hundred on a Doc Gooden card lol

since May 27th, this is the "beauty" of the set, and has been since the Shore Incident

at what point, will the Print Runs hit a level that sellers are no longer willing to sell cards for $12 delivered

Maybe I'm old-fashioned and this product is for younger edgelords and such.

Yep, having a man cave (or woman cave) is definitely an added bonus and a leg up on the display and presentation initiative.

My boy purchased shelves from amazon and will be using that as a molding shelves all around his basement. His basement is also 800 sq feet.

Ermsy Gooden is a beautiful card and underrated in my opinion.

Saw this on FB. A lot of money made & a lot of money lost on this project.

Yeah, I love that one. Have considered trading for it.

Gooden is one of my favorite players in the set but I don't want to spend $300+ on the Vides. Also, Baller and Mr. Cartoon's Gooden are two of my least favorite. Maybe because they botched one of the best original cards in the set. I wouldn't fault anyone for a bad Rivera because the source material is so bad.

First we'd need to agree on a metric.

I think adjusted OPS+ is a good one, and by that measure Williams is second only to Babe Ruth.

For Gooden, I am skipping Vides and Mister Cartoon so far.

I wasn't planning on getting many Goodens but have liked all the others so far.

Fucci's Gooden with the added yellow border really looks nice too. I like bright colors.

An amazing feat, but I think we can all agree that a home run is better than a single so I don't think batting average is a suitable all-encompassing metric for how good a hitter is.

Fucci's Gooden is his best so far, hands down.

If you look closely enough you can see a side boob!
