2020 topps project

I've been tempted by a few of these - most I think are actually pretty ugly but I like a few of the '89 Griffey Topps Traded renditions. What bothers me is actually the total number of cards and variations - wish they had just picked only the top 1 or 2 of each card rather than 20 different options leading to 400 total cards. It is way too much. Also think I read they print on demand based on sales not a predetermined number of cards released to be sold - which is lame from a scarcity driving investment standpoint.

I am not usually in to this type of card but so far I am hooked. The images don’t really do justice to the cards as some of the artists do things with textures and raised effects that don’t come through until the card is in hand. I do agree that you really have to either go after one artist or one player or things would get out of hand. I am posting in the pre1980 section my quest for all of the 1952 Jackie’s to complement my real 52 Jackie

I’ve been picking up Ben Baller’s cards as I find him funny and like the designs. I had to sell his Ichiro when I saw what they were going for (probably let go of it a little too soon but couldn’t pass up a $400 profit) but I’ll hold on to some of the others for the time being. I love them but don’t get the secondary market demand for these things since they were unlimited and easily accessible from the source.

Was there a certain timeframe to buy these, like a week?

48 hours each card

Interesting, but I haven't seen one yet that I've wanted in my PC. Since I am a collector, not an investor, I can't see any reason to get one. Now if they release a card based on T206, then there is a 99% chance I would get one. Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Cy Young. I bet these artists would love to take their hack at The Card.

Contrary to my previous post I actually think today’s Clemente is pretty awesome and might pick up one. I think that’s just the nature of the set - thinking maybe 5-10 max out of 400 I’m gonna be tempted to pull the trigger on.

The Topps Now and Living Set use the same business model, I like it. The cards that are worth a lot are not always the obvious suspects. I'm not real familiar with the Project, it seems like they are going after a different market.
