I'm going to have to pick up the Joe Carter one for my Son. Outside of Bo Bichette, that is his other favorite Blue Jay.

[astroshane]

As a Canadian I love seeing the Joe Carter selection. That Toronto skyline is epic. Amazing work and thank you !

[MtnAg08]

I agree about how cool it is seeing the Toronto skyline in the background. Would love to see each city eventually get one on one of their players over the next couple of years.

[astrotrevor]

Not too many hits more memorable than Joltin' Joe in '93. The Carter/Alomar for McGriff/ Fernandez trade was a blockbuster to remember.

Hopefully we get get more WS Champion Jays in the future . Here is my pitch for Kelly Gruber!

[Joliet Jake]

Jared has a new print run top 5, as Jackson Holliday comes in at the fifth spot with a print run of 9,152. This is also his fifth card with a print run of 9,000 or more. Well done.

Wow - That's a pleasant surprise. I am horrible at guessing print runs so I tend to avoid doing so. Thanks to everyone who bought one of his cards!

By the way, Holliday's artist-signed print sold enough to take the no.2 spot in my all-time PRs.

RANK | PLAYER | PRINT RUN
====================
#1 Corbin Carroll 33
#2 Jackson Holliday 26
#3 Christy Mathewson 24
#4 Hank Aaron 23
#5 Yoshinobu Yamamoto 20

CONGRATS to the lucky winner of the 1/1 Gold Signature Print Giveaway of Holliday: Order #7788.

Very flattering, but we all know Seto will forever be the Ohtani of this set. She had 21 cards with a print run over 9000, if my data is accurate (19 of them in 2018 alone!). I still daydream of her coming back to the set someday if Topps ever wants to do 3-card releases again.

The skyline was fun to do. All credit goes to Julian on the Topps Living Set crew. He specifically requested the Toronto skyline in the background. Glad I was able to help him with that request.

This isn't the first skyline I've painted for the set. Who knows which player/card features my first skyline?

Cool Easter egg in the background, too.

Congratulations, Jared!

Start the debate. Do you remember A-Rod mostly as a Mariner, Ranger or Yankee...?

I personally was hoping to get a Seattle version of A-Rod but fully expected Topps to drop a Yankees version. The Rangers one is a surprise.

Awesome job on the art per usual Angel!

Hip hip hooray! I made it to 200 portraits! Topps was gracious enough to allow me the small "JK200" Easter egg in the background.

Speaking of "background", it is itself an Easter egg. I'll let you sleuths figure it out; it's not hard.

I really hope to be here for another 200 portraits at the very least. It's been tremendously fun working with Topps on this set, the Living Set crew are the cream of the crop and are always interested in what the collectors and us artists think about the set. Shoutout to Mike, Tom, and Julian.

I am so grateful I've been able to work with two artists on the set whose work truly inspires me. And in regards to Angel specifically, I am really grateful for our friendship. I can testify to Angel's natural kindness and good nature. He's a genuine article and a huge asset to the set.

Last, but certainly not least, I am forever grateful for the interactions I've had with this collecting community. Although I haven't personally met most of you, I really do consider you all friends and interacting with you each week is something I look forward to. Thank you for the continued support!!

Is the background League Park in Cleveland?

No. It's a background found on one of the 1953 Topps cards.

Congrats to Jared on the big 200!
Yes, please, on 200 more...

Fully agree regarding the art from Angel, but I just see A-Rod as a cheater, and wish he hadn't been included in the set at all.

Specifically #200 in the 1953 set.
