Almost all of the Ted Williams companion cards I have seen have ATROCIOUS centering. That is a deal breaker for me.

That JK5 Companion got a sneak peek on Insta....Looks way better than advertised even. Also, Thiele announced another companion on the way this week. Ain't no wallet slow down in sight.

Oof. Another Thiele. I hope it sucks so I don't feel the need to buy it. But it probably won't...

JK5 WS#1 looks amazing! Really glad I jumped on his set early.

Feels like there's been a lot of Ermsy drops lately.

Any talk of Siff doing companions? Not that I need more to spend money on but he's the only one I'm collecting who hasn't jumped on the bandwagon yet.

Good lord I hope not. I don't need any more temptations.

14 players to go
Jeter - Gift Basket would be awesome
Mattingly - Baseball Stitching - Donnie Baseball
Gooden - Back to the mask
Brett - Pine Tar
Ichiro - Rising Sun
Trout - Meteor Shower
Koufax - ??
Clemente - Gold Glove which I thought the Gibson was at first.
Robinson - Color Barrier reference? Half the bark in black and while and half in color?
Rivera - This should have been the sandman reference
Gwynn - This could have been the basketball reference too.
Henderson - Steel
Ryan - How would you do a train? Steam engine?
McGwire -
I’ve posted previously and agree about Trout and Henderson

That Robinson is the one I’ve been waiting to see in general

Gooden could be scrubs material?

Jeter could be nautical (captain reference) or calendar (Mr. November)

Mattingly—no other ideas here

Brett—flames? (Hot corner)

Ichiro—water makes sense (Blue Wave team), alien referencing Area 51

Koufax—sand is too obvious right?

Clemente—sugar (sweetness nickname), Marine fabric (was in the Corps)

Robinson—if not the color idea, could be done with lines too, or tied to a bear (Bruin)

Rivera—could do something tying Sandman to sleep?

Gwynn—silver or something Aztec related

Ryan—steam would be one train thought

McGwire—something Red maybe, perhaps USC Trojan related

I can't imagine why anyone would prefer the leftmost one, but apparently it's getting more votes.

Of course the marketing side of Blake comes out even in a simple poll using it to pump his likes and retweets on twitter. Love him or hate him the man is always hustling.

Majorities are generally silent.

True. I didn't vote because the process is loaded with ulterior motives (likes and retweets).

I didn't vote just because I'm not going to purchase it either way.

I didn't vote either.

I was told early on to not try and influence the artists. That it's okay if they want to make a horizontal card vertical. That it's okay if they want to sell thousands of autographs. I agree...it's okay.

Now they're asking for opinions?

Whose opinion did Baller listen to when he made Ichiro #1? Who did Ermsy listen to when he made Trout?

Project 2020 is so very interesting to me. I enjoy every single aspect of it. The evolutions are enough to make one dizzy.

I actually voted for the splatter version

Topps should just print both and make one SSP
