Oh god. More of these types of cards.
Yaz Master Set
#1 Gino Cappelletti master set
#1 John Hannah master set
Also collecting Andre Tippett, Patriots Greats' RCs, Dwight Evans, 1964 Venezuelan Topps
I like the Ruth. The others, not so much.
Peter Max
51 artists, 20 cards each, $19.99 per card (or $17-ish if you buy the 3 card bundle). Kudos to anyone who tries for the full set at that price.
Jim
I may buy a few here and there direct from Topps.
I will be interested to see what the new artists come up with.
I will buy a few especially the Mike Trout. The Rainbow Foil is a nice addition.
Rainbow Foil editions /70 randomly inserted into each card’s print run.
I was very excited about Project 2020 until it was revealed there were 400 cards. This now has 1000 cards. I really like these but at $20 a pop out of my price range to get enough to feel like I have a good representation of the set.
I didn’t like most of the p2020 cards but those Ermsy cards are very nice. That Tatis is pretty cool....majority of cards have terrible photos so I’m not going to get fussed about an artist (ben baller sucks and isn’t one) doing an interpretation of a great player.
Nope.
Lol that’s your best post ever!

love some of these artists names.
think i'm going to start posting as "bobby food stamps "
I am amazed at some of these artists names and their work.
Not many are my cup of tea, but it is interesting to see what is going on our there.
after i looked at the 2020 project I realized that I really don't understand art. '
at all.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Picked up the Acuna/Snoop Dogg.
Very clean look, like. That Tatis was nice but very busy. Not for me.
Well, this is a colorful card of one of my all time favorites:
I don't fully understand how these cards are presented. Are people going to be sending these cards into PSA for grading or are they already encapsulated by Topps and not suitable for submission to PSA?
Project 2020 cards were in one touch holders with a sticker "sealing" them and they can be easily removed from their holders. They're 130 point cards, I think, and the general feeling on the BO forums was to leave them as is (PSA can be tough on thick cards, apparently?). PSA has graded 1300+, though, so someone sent the P2020s in - I'd imagine some will send in P70 as well.
Jim
How should one send in Project 2020 or Project 70 cards to PSA for grading? Should they be left in the case sent by Topps or should they be removed and put in something. I assume they are too thick for a Card Saver I.
i bought one of the side projects by one of the project 70 artists, i think.
don't know exactly what it is, but i like it. great play on his nickname...
I use CS 4s.
no thanks. I learned my lesson the first time with Topps 2020.

Grabbed 2 so far- Snoop Dogg doing his riff on a 1954 w Acuna and Pose doing his 1953 riff with Rickey
They got me. I couldn't resist.
Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.
My Pirates Collection
First Topps Mantle since getting the rights back:
I been picking some of these up too. Guess got lucky and received a Cody Bellinger #83 plus an #83 /70 foil print last week, Today I got a #90 Cory Seager plus a #90 /70 foil print add-on again!
Been a fan of Project 70 and Project 2020 - but the sheer massiveness of both sets had kept me on the sideline. This was the first time I really liked all 3 cards in a week so I ordered them. Really like Naturel's (he did the Bench) cards so far so thinking of collecting just his set. Missed the Soto - but ordered the Aaron.
I picked up the first 3 but that's it.
I'm still doing the "Living" set and Turn back the Clock.
I have enjoyed the revealing of cards on Topps website M-F, but I only bought the Vides Mantle so far.
This one is really good IMO:
I'm a designer/ Artist and I actually follow Ermsy, Beck and Thiele so I'm into this. I'm collecting the AP's and I'm more drawn to the Project 2020 as AP's were limited to 20. The Project 70's are 52 plus 75 Rainbow holograms. Not sure the market can support these outside of a few key players and uber cool designs

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I was really big on project 2020, but can't get excited about these new ones. I don't like the open ended nature of the project and collecting only cards I like doesn't jive with my OCD for set collecting. I started, stopped, started again, and finally bailed on these cards.
If they do a Harold Baines card, I'm in for a 5 pack, but that's really the only way I'm buying any more.
Loved project 2020, but project 70 is just too much. I will pick up a few of the APs if the price is right.
The Project 2020 press didn’t even cool down before P70 was upon us
You, Tony LaRussa and Mrs. Baines will have a corner on the market...
Just ordered this one. I absolutely want the In Action. Could not find anywhere how many of those there are. It mentions a chrome chase card with a print run of 20 but there is no mention of the In Action.
.
Picked this up for my Buckner collection. Definitely an interesting set, with hits and misses, subject to artistic preferences.
This card is an example of when Project 70 does something cool. An ode to the fact he was on two straight 4 player rookie cards and a tribute to the Dale Murphy reverse negative all rolled into one card. Love this one.
I've purchased some of the Alex Pardee ones.. I enjoy that crazy / morbid / comic book type..
I got the eck, trout, r.johnson & r.fingers
Definitely different.
And my only Project 20
What's preventing you from fully appreciating these as works of art is that you really DO understand art.
Should have had goat horns sticking through the cap!
As a 1986 Mets fan, Bill was my favorite Red Sox 😁
had to breakdown and order a couple of ermsy trout/adam bomb cards.
too nostalgic not to have. i cant imagine how many they have prolly presold…
I picked up a bunch of 2020 Trouts - they're really cool.
I posted back in May or so...
When Mantle popped with Topps.com, I picked up one and was really lucky!
They threw in one of the Rainbows - 1/70!
For those who don't participate - you can't buy the Rainbows directly from Topps - they're a random pick "insert" with your order like the TBT set where 1 out of 20 get an SP with their 3 card set.
Like Roberto Duran, Manos de piedra.
The project 70 artist missed the boat, IMO. Buckner should have been depicted with the goat horns AND stone hooves
IMHO, the horns should have been shared with Schiraldi and Stanley. But probably a discussion on another thread. lol
Just ordered this one from Topps.
Sorry, that is one fugly card. If it was a child, you'd have to hang a pork chop around it's neck to get the dog to play with it. The margins in my school notebook looked like that by the end of the year.
To each his own I guess.
Yep. To each his own is correct. And, to offer another cliche, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It's a great thing that our hobby offers us so many choices on what to buy and collect.
