What does me having 18 posts have anything to do with anything? I have been collecting baseball cards since 1989 and have been reading this board since prior to Project 2020. It's like the old saying on sports talk radio -- long-time listener, first time caller. Sorry for trying to help people out and let folks know about an ebay buyer that does the fraudulent return thing (bigskyguru ... block him on ebay) .

I actually send the picture of the exact card I'm shipping to the buyer on ebay messages, right next to the mailing label with the buyer's address on it. It was not scratched in anyway. I called ebay and she said it was very smart I did that.

That's great news. I would love to see all of the players do autos, mostly because of how significant this set is supposed to be. If it's just a Trout auto chase with a few others sprinkled in, what does that say about the other players, artists and the set itself?

Cards 60-100 feel like the dark ages of this set, and we've been in it FOREVER. How many Ermsy cards have been shipped out in the last 6 weeks? Maybe 1???

Seems like they are similar enough to count as a single companion card.

In my world, its not the color of the cup, but the contents therein.

lol

Yeah i'd call the gold/silver parallels.

My point was that you were an unknown person advising people to block another unknown person while providing very little detail.

I would have predicted Thiele as lowest PR for Trout as well.

I do like Thiele's Trout better, though, so it should have a bit better print run.

No denying the set is awesome, but autos from the rest of the players would only add to its awesomeness

Siff's first three cards are my favorite Siff cards, so I know what you mean.

Hoping he avoid a 'Big Hurt' pun-type card.

Chris P · 07-23-2020, 08:31 PM

I got shipping notification for cards 93 and 94

How about a Frank Thomas sized testosterone capsule playing 1st? She'll like it, too!

No, he announced it on IG without a preview.

The inability of Topps to ship these cards in a timely manner is going to kill the set. The comment sections of the FB ads for Project 2020 cards pretty much consist entirely of people saying they're done with the set since Topps can't ship these out quick enough. In the time of Amazon Prime, having to wait 2 months to receive something after you pay for it isn't very palatable.

Dang, missing a day here leaves you with a lot of catch up work.

Grabbed the JK5 (thanks as always Wheeler) and then the Thiele companion because I have problems. Promised the daughter a “slumber party” so I’m off again. At least I convinced her that Space Jam was the best movie option.

I'm still buying what I like, but I can understand why people would lose interest.

Well I'm sorry for trying to help (and to try to make a name on the board. You have to start somewhere. You weren't born out of the womb with rep on Blowout Forums either.

I think I provided enough detail. It's a buyer who practices the sleazy scratch the case to get a refund scam (which I heard about on here this summer and made me start taking pictures of the cards I send out next to the buyer's address label). That's more than enough info. I thought other people want want to know about him to block him on ebay (which was the whole point!!l
