I wonder if all the cards will be close-ups or if there will be some wider images, like the Willie Mays from 53 Topps.

I wish they had kept the painting aspect of the 53 set in tact. I can't help but feel like some of the cards are just some photoshop effect laid over a regular photo. Why not commission the art?

[Shankweather]

I think they did, artist's name is Mayumi Seto. She started painting for Topps with 2016 Topps Museum. Her style is a little different from 53 Topps though. It's a bit more true to life, maybe too much.

Wow I'm surprised to hear that. I wonder if she actually painted or if it's a digital artwork. It just doesn't look right to me. It reminds me of that movie American Splendor with the rotoscoping.

My dad saw my Ohtani cards today which include several NOW, GQ and a few others.

He was blown away by the Living set one.

I will note that 1953 may have been the first year he got cards. He was born in 1942.

Oh man the Rickey is so good! And the first two Cubs in the set are Happ and Morrow? I'd love to get a look behind the scenes at how they decide on building the set.
