If anyone still has the Matt Taylor Soto image that was previewed, can they post it again please? I'm considering the Taylor set after seeing this Canseco. Think it could make a very nice print at the end.

That Mattingly is not good. That would be the 3rd 71 design so far. That and 90 Topps seem to be popular for the artists

Not sure if this is a troll comment or not, but umm, if people were just going to have someone else do all the cards, couldn't they have them paint them? Graphic design is still art. AB absolutely could have designed every detail of this card. It bugs me so much when I see people hating on the cards that aren't painted as if they could open Photoshop and create something clean that people would want to buy.

Was honestly not meant as a troll. I do think a lot of his fans would have preferred the raw, stripped down paintings that he has done. That was the point I was trying to make.

I still feel like Taylor never eclipsed his Rickey. It was just a perfect mix that hit all the right notes, it invoked 80s, it invoked Tron, it invoked speed which was Rickey's defining trait. It was just a perfect amalgamation.

The first Ernie Banks and the first Hank Aaron cards were worth the year-long wait.

My fav Matt Taylor P2020 was his Ichiro, which it looks like he's channeling on his Jose. I love those splashing waves. (2nd favorite Rickey, 3rd Ripken)

Visually I like this Banks and may consider an artist run. So far I really liked the Ohtani by Beck so will see how his next few look for an artist run.

I bought the Snoop Acuna purely for the Snoop name. His next few will help me decide on a run of his. If he continues such a simplistic approach I may have to drop him.
I'm curious about what the numbers will be for the prints after all is said and done.The Ohtani Beck is just over 3200, what percent age of buyers are doing the whole set to get the sheet?
Hmmm,
Vinny

Man that Banks is great. Wonder if every one of their cards will be in a similar style? That would be a fun set to display, and great print, if they all look like this. Well done Quiccs.

Top 5 in the set so far in my opinion. Maybe even higher for me. Need to look at it again after the initial reaction wears off.

Can anyone help with how to get the links for the Artist Proofs? I know it's probably a lost cause, but would like to try today.
