Why did they push the cards back?

Koufax and his faith have no relation whatsoever to the twists and turns of the P2020 thread.

I’m also kind of shocked that Tyson said he just learned about the Holocaust yesterday. I mean Mel Gibson is kind of a big deal in Aus, correct?

Think this is huge - might be the bottom we see going forward for the top 10 cards

This is super good news. Large $$ coming into the market implies a tolerable amount of risk and confidence in the set's continuation moving forward.

Topps probably will have a Saturday release to catch up? Cards and artist deserve the spotlight not split 4 ways imo.

I wouldn't be shocked if most kids in the US aren't really taught about either anymore.

Think of Smartpost as your card/cards kind of hitchhiking with their thumb out. Not always a direct route and they dont always get a ride. May get lucky and get on a truck right away and beat normal delivery or may wait at a location for a long time.

Random. Mel Gibson is a nobody in Australia... not viewed as an Australian really.

Yeah would be too tough on them and their sensitive feelers.

What exactly is smartpost, should I not be using it?

According to a research study from 2018, 66% of millenials did not know what Auschwitz was.

Every day is an opportunity to either learn something new, or help educate people on things they did not know about. we all had to start somewhere. Cool that Tyson learned about this through his art. Fantastic looking card.

Heck, I never learned about the Greenwood massacre until this year and I'm 42. It was never taught in my high school.

Great thread. great cards.

I don't see anything saying the P2020 release is pushed back though, just a black image. Maybe I'm missing something since I don't have a twitter account.

This is true. States actually create a task force and decide if and how the Holocaust will be taught. Isn't taught everywhere in the United States.

totally hijacking this thread, but I highly recommend the BBC series the World at War. It was made in the 70s I think so many of the participants on all sides were still alive.

Seriously, why is today different than any other day? This has been horrible for the past week+. I seriously don't see why today the pre-sale of baseball cards would have to stop.

Edit: Topps has designated this "blackout tuesday"? I assume the twitterverse has?

Soxfanguy · 06-02-2020, 11:36 AM

What is blackout Tuesday?

I completely agree it’s ridiculous.
