I think they both look great and I agree on the Thiele given the PR. I just picked up one and will likely pick up more.

If the average Trout in the set has a PR of 35,000, thats 700,000 total Mike Trouts produced.

I suspect the average will be higher than that, but whatever.

Still awaiting your PM for your bet.

Remember, before we do, 79% of Trouts ever sold on eBay have gone for $50 or less.

If i wanted to poke a hole in this argument i would ask what percentage of all sales are done one ebay as opposed to fb/inst/real life

Clearly, I haven't been following this closely, but I see this thread growing every day, and I'm confused.

Yes.

More and more people becoming aware of it. There is a world outside of Blowout Card Forums, surprisingly lol.

If you like art, but aren't into cards, these still have appeal. Especially since all are retired players, sans trout. This project stretches across all generations.

It's a culture thing, honestly. I spent about 3 hours today looking at all the artists other work. Some really cool prints out there.

This Naturel Michael Jordan print in the link below is so sick, only 23 of each in various sizes. Unfortunately missed out on it but can happily say I'll be buying my first piece of full-size art once it becomes available on eBay or somewhere. Would have never came across it if it wasn't for P2020.

The print runs for the vast majority of cards 1-85 were very low and there is a big demand for them. Today's Griffey had about 85x's the amount of orders as some earlier cards did. People want the early cards and countless ones have less than 5,000 in the print run.

What disaster. Artist's are getting paid as deserved. Baseball/Art cards are getting into peoples hands that typically wouldn't purchase them. We all have learned a lot about some great artists. Print runs will be up and down just like they have been.

This is a buying opportunity. Once Jim Cramer and Gary V start talking about Project 2020, it will be game over for future releases but game on for everything already released - even the shore Griffey. You heard it here first folks.

But I will be buying these and if my track record is any indication I can guarantee you the road is not looking good for cards 87-400.

Take the bet, you have 309 chances to win lmao

Blake McGwire auction currently at 142.50 with 14 minutes to go. keeping my eye on this one. Lowest BIN 145 DLVD. Anyone remember the highest the price got for this one?

I wish the Ermsy Gibson's were in hand right now. I'd love to snag one of those, BUT you don't know what eBay members are going to cancel/not ship, etc. Especially when the delay Topps has getting these Project cards out the door. Seems like the purchase will be past the time allotted for an item not arrived claim, if needed.

Here's what I don't get..when you consistently state this product "doesn't appeal to me" as the poster you quoted has repeatedly said, I don't get why you'd come to a thread about a product you have zero interest in? Maybe I'm weird..I don't go to the Soccer thread and Hockey Threads and post on their boards because those sports don't interest me in the least. I don't go to the Topps Now Boards because Topps Now products don't appeal to me. I just don't get it

In all honesty, baldboi Jim needs to STF out of this. MSNBC has always been the market short signal.

The Blake McGwire is probably my favorite Project card out of the bunch. I wish I would have been paying more attention to these a little bit sooner.

Well we don’t know who it is - just that it’s bigger than ESPN.

Seriously considering buying one. I think I heard Blakes have a gloss to them I bet this one is really nice in person.
