Is this the first time the chase card was a different player? Why not just do a Maris release so people can do a Mantle/Maris set. Does nobody know how to market the collectability of this product?

I do like Laurens Maris moreso than the Mantle, but both are nice, however I prefer it when she uses a topps design with a heavier border.

Best CES card yet by a mile with his Ohtani. Oof, my bad, just realized its a Game of Death parody, and Bruce Lee is Chinese ... which Ohtani is not.

I like the layout of the Nevers Anderson, but I am going to be a nit picky in that Anderson doesnt wear his uniform baggy or sloppily like hes been rendered. But it looks like Nevers based it on the movie uniforms and not what the 2021 White Sox actually wore in the game (as can be seen in the photos behind the painting).

Siffs Ruth looks like what anyone would have expected.

Comment of the day!

I can't tell if I like it or hate it.

The card, that is. The comment is spot on.

I like the Siff Ruth! It expresses a mood. Honestly I was surprised the AP was up so I bit.

I also like the Mantle. I'm grateful that it doesn't copy that dreadful 1952 Topps portrait pose. I still think Quiccs performed a miracle making that look good.

I like 1989 Topps but don't love the Tim Anderson. I prefer the Jacob Rochester rendition. Agree on the comment about the baggy uniform.

I can't stand the Ohtani, though it might still be the best Ces card, for what that's worth. Not $250 worth for an AP, that's for sure [for me].

Still going a little wild this week, 8/12.

I like the card well enough, but not to buy it. Ohtani's face just looks off. It reminds me of "Kamikaze" Tanaka from Major League II:

Because it's a card referencing a Chinese American martial artist, but with a Japanese baseball player?

But Bagwell deserves one. Maybe even a JR Richard with his passing. But Bagwell has to have one. Too much of a character.
With or without the needle ?

I'll never buy anything from Topps again, what an absolute scam they have going here.

Got my Pardee Tatis card in the mail yesterday and the centering is soooo off it's a joke. It's 2021 and you can't cut cards with some quality? I can't even look at this garbage they sent me, does topps not have any quality control.

You are asking $20 for this base card and you send this garbage to people, unreal. I'm tempted to just throw it in the trash because that's where it belongs. I wish i could take a picture of it and post it. if the back is off i can handle it, but the white border on the front is absurdly off, so unpleasant to look at. I'm beyond pissed at this point, i feel as if Topps has scammed me out of 20 bucks.

If you are printing "art" cards, get it right or at least respectively close

F topps, F this project. If i see a card I like i'll buy off ebay, F foils, f ap's, f gold borders, f chase cards, f all this garbage. Topps will never get another dime from me.

It's printed based on the number bought. If your 1987 Tandy computer prints the #@#@#@#@ you sent me, throw it out and print a #@#@#@#@ing another one. Aholes


Sorry, rant over
