Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer

I know you could almost takes nice jpeg scans of the images and make your own 5x7s

My virtual collection is still enjoyable.

Do it, call me a dork, it's fine.

Will definitely be working in some kind of nod to the pine tar incident from 1983.

The best Easter egg would be this one.

Here is some inspiration:

I am a dork. You can swipe the cards in the holders then also crop them to be out of the holders. Then you mass load both into a pdf program and ouila! A quasi-movie of taking the cards out and then putting them back in the holders. Perfect holders. No scratches. Cost? $0.00.

Colonel: What do think of the centering of that Royals logo in the Star '84 card?

I love it as a spoof on centering! I think they were time-travel-trolling me!

Seriously thought that was a fake video with an audio dub. Now learning it is not. Wow.

Reached the half way mark. Card 10/20 dropped today of mine!

Hope you like it.

Great pair of cards today, I'm a big fan of this card, but did get more surprised by how much I like the Don C on screen. Doesn't take away from this one, just distracting in the right way.

This card is also, very nice. In for both.

[Colonel Kurtz]

Tyson, you did a lot with a card that is borderline un-doable. I can see Mariano tooling around Miami with Sonny Crockett, casually tossing cutters at bad guys.

Thank you! Pumped to drop with Don C

the more i looked at the card the longer Mariano's legs continued to grow lol

It's such an awful card to begin with, Tyson did what he could.

I only bought one card (Jackie Robinson by efdot) and it still hasn't shipped. How long do these take to go out?

Congrats! I got your Gibson in hand yesterday so I'm halfway halfway there.

I'm generally not a fan of the Rivera but yours is the best go at it so far. Though I did also appreciate Blake's.

I haven't really liked the cards with lots of white around the edges, but this one just looks right with that clean area surrounding the photo. Also like the large Bowman logo in the background. Keep up the great work!

You'll be vaccinated before Topps gets that to you.

Not an awful card at all by 1992 bowman standards. Imagine having to recreate this



Or this


Actually, as I type this out I have just decided that I WOULD like to see some artistic takes on these cards. I would trade 5 Shore Griffey for one Shore Castillo. Project 2022 — 1992 Bowman Revisited after 30 Years. You hear me, Jeeves?

Don C don't knock your card. I always see it as Tony's foot sinking into the soft grain of the wood...

A big +1 here. I can see the appeal of the set but the Rivera is comparatively pedestrian. Less Dockers, more "Just a Gigolo," please!

Castillo? Wasn't that Sonny Crockett's boss? Maybe P2021 can be characters from Miami Vice.

[AirplaneDon]

Hot (?) take; this is Beck's best card. It's the best Rivera card to date.

For me its between Chang and Beck for best Rivera so far.

Hoping that Thiele will make it a tougher call at some point.

Agree on #2, and on #1 it's the most immediate "yes" on purchase decision for me to date (the Colonel will have to confirm if it's really the best art to date, I guess I'm agreeing it's the best card to date)
