Got that Bam Bam action going on in the Harper card. I'll keep that Distortedd set going even though I don't collect him at all.

What exactly is the food he is sitting in?? Are they waffle sticks in a bread bowl?

Nice to see Blue the Great starting to incorporate something recognizable from his typical artwork (mummy rags), even if the Ichiro card doesn't seem to make any sense.

Looks like Maple Crunch cereal.

All four cards today look nice.

Just not players I'm interested in right now.

Dang, I was really digging the previous blue the great cards. Why a Seinfeld reference for Ichiro? No reason?

Seinfeld says:
"I'm obsessed with Ichiro. He's one of my favorite players. If I could be any athlete, that's the guy. He played the game in his own way on a unique level, with an amazing unique skill set: the hitting, the defense, the focus. He's a cool guy."

For Maple Crunch:
'According to the six-time All-Star outfielder in a recent interview with Rawlings, he and Hoskins have cereal before every game called Maple Crunch.

“It’s actually this super healthy cereal … but its [the] ‘bomb,'” Harper said. “We eat it before every single game and it kind of just became a thing, where we go in there after [batting practice] and we eat our cereal.”'

The other two cards are not worth researching [I agree this is my least favorite Blue the Great card so far. But, my favorite Distortedd]

Thanks, Shin. That's actually pretty funny. I'm really digging Distortedd's work in this set. There's definitely an elite class when it comes to P70.

Pass on today's for me. Did pick up the Naturel Reggie yesterday. Picked up Efdot's first 3 cards, not a fan of the Boggs. Got his Acuna in yesterday, still looking for my 1st foil. Have a box from Wheeler due in later this week.

I think Wotherspoon's cards would look better without the text borders.

3 really low PR candidates in this group. Distortedd is a fun card as usual.

That’s why we buy aka collect what we like. P2020 was $20 each too and the same philosophy rang true for me then too.

Still on the fence about the Naturel Reggie, but I'm grabbing the Distortedd for sure. We'll see how tomorrow and Thursday play out since I'm really trying to limit my buying on this project.

I am at least happy to see Wotherspoon do a non-P2020 player

I get it. There are new artists and new players in this set that deserve our attention. I agree that Topps lied. However for me I still enjoy what I enjoy while I am angry at the corporate greed that Topps represents. Hell, you know that I have been over this project about three times already. My problem is I can’t ignore good art. Distortedd deserved my $20 today.
