For people who wanted to see more cards, I actually think a P2022 isn't the worst thing. Presumably they'd cut a bunch of artists, narrow the scope and design a project that isn't so ambitious that it collapses under its own weight.

That's assuming you want to see more cards.

Personally, I am not interested in buying more project cards. If there were smaller individual releases, like the Blake Jamieson and Shore sets, that would be cool. I am wanting to finish off the 2 artist sets and maybe pick up a few P2020 cards I still need. Then figure out what to do with all of the extras I've accumulated

CES card is pretty nice with the nod to Manny's idol Kobe

DioBrando · 01-13-2022, 09:58 AM

Looks like Pardee Henderson is the 1st AP to sell out this week. 1st card of the week for me and it will probably look great if you are lucky enough to get a foil.

Lauren Taylor announced her own Topps x Collab set in October. Don’t see any other details yet.

I will probably pick up Efdot's Berra to pair with his Mantle.

Quiccs has a quality set. I feel like he was a good choice for this project.

Can’t find the Pardee AP. How much was it?

I’d like to see more artists cards. Broken into multiple sets with actual themes, fewer artists, fewer cards per artist, etc. Breaks in between each set to let people breath.

Still think this is a fun idea but there needs to be a manageable level of direction and ability to review the cards in advance.

Edit: I would think the direct to consumer part of these sets would fit with what Fanatics wants to grow. With that idea, I don’t see why any of the print-on-demand sets would stop.

Oh cool, I would buy a set she released. I regret not building her P70 set.

It was $199. Had it in my cart, all ready to pay, and it was out of stock.

Agreed! He's the only artist set I kept alive. I meant to keep Pardee and DJ Skee too but I missed the Pardee Alonso while on vacation and then just straight up forgot to buy the Skee Puckett.

I'm interested in Projects outside of baseball. Topps could do a Star Wars one for example. But what I'm really interested in is the possibility of an NBA project in a few years.... So many of the project70 artists would be for this!

You can search this thread for galaxy (and ignore the Ohtani hits) to see our discussions on what already exists for star wars. But yeah, more star wars, more!

A little up there but not surprising… debating getting the regular one or not… not a terrible 4-pack either (Nats fan also so bittersweet memories of Harper, and i love quiccs style)

P70 started on 2/17 👀

eldavojohn · 01-13-2022, 11:46 AM

I'll say it, I think it's pretty cool we got four new players so far this week -- could friday hold a fifth?
Julio Franco
Michael Conforto
Anthony Rizzo
Manny Machado

gododgersfan · 01-13-2022, 12:15 PM

Topps need to cut this down. I could see a price increase for 2022 to 24.99.

Silas Barnaby · 01-13-2022, 01:13 PM

Price increase would be a bad call in my opinion.

440ToCenter · 01-13-2022, 01:23 PM

Is the efdot Berra the first Project card that was designed to be viewed with 3D glasses?

I may pick this up just because of it novelty as I want to see what it looks like in person. Cool design for sure. Wonder how the foil will be too.
