I applaud the fusion of art and baseball cards that Topps has achieved here. Obviously with art being so subjective, what some will love others will not find aesthetically pleasing, etc. That said I've happily bought the ones which have grabbed my eye. If one is a fan of a particular card, for example as I am with the 84T Mattingly and 85T Gooden, it is nice to pair these renditions or artistic interpretations of the card alongside the original.

As with anything in the hobby, there will also be those who are only interested in the cards in so far as they can flip them for a profit. That's not how I engage with them so can't really speak to that. I've bought paintings I love decades ago that I still look at and love every day, and have no idea or care as to what they are worth.
