I ended up joining the fray and bought a Blake Jamieson's Big Mac card.

I feel like I am late to the party, but I keep trying to convince myself to start picking up the rest of the George Brett cards for my PC
Or would I be better off waiting till later and picking these up for $5 a pop in a couple years? I just checked PSA Population reports and there are already 2 Project 2020 cards graded. PSA 8 Cal Ripken Jr./Fucci and a PSA 10 Ermsy/Ichiro. Slightly interesting that the Ripken card has the player listed first, but on Ichiro's card, the artist is listed first. I wonder if that is how it will show on the flip? Last edited by Farm_kid; 05-22-2020 at 09:06 AM.

Yea the problem I’m gonna have is the discipline to really limit myself to the new releases I love from the get-go (like the Jamieson McGwire) with about 300 still to go but unfortunately finding the more I look at ones I may not instantly want (like Ermsy Gibson) and learn about the artist, the more I want those too!! Damn you Topps and damn myself for being so impressionable!
I do agree though the ship has sailed on the >$100 cards with runs over 10,000 so I think there’s pretty low risk to passing now and buying later if I’m still haunted by having to have one. That being said, I don’t think they’re ever gonna be $5 a pop, should at least retain their $20-30 original price unless truly 400 was too many and big time fatigue sets in when we get into the 200-300 range. We’ll see- wild ride!

Really good point. I like that idea of waiting until the fatigue sets in and the print runs start dropping. That would be the next time to get in possibly. Of course at that point, you would have to wait years before the hobby comes back to revisit the set. Could be 5 years, could be 20 years.

Just another observation - I have never seen the dynamic between auction and Buy It Now prices function this way. When it comes to vintage, I would literally never touch a BIN as they are always about 20-50% above what the card goes for on auction and there's absolutely no incentive to do so (except immediate availability). With P2020, literally on an hourly basis sometimes, the current auction for a card exceeds BIN prices out there so in a way the BIN becomes a guaranteed bargain based on immediate market value. And even when you see these outrageous BIN prices start to pop up for sellers to try to stay one step ahead it keeps happening.

I would be very cautious about paying decent money for any project 2020 cards on ebay. Like the previous post noticed the auction pices seem a little hinkey. I voiced the same opinion about Topps Living and the prices for those cards has come down significantly.
I know there are alot of marginal collectors home killing time on ebay driving up some prices. But with these cards there are a few players that own a big piece of the available inventory. And that almost always leeds to prices being manipulated. Look maybe there will be a crossover market with cards and art. I have a couple old Nike posters that were photographed by Jeff Koons ( large metal balloon animals a couple permanent at the Met). So if one or more if these artists moves near the top of the foodchain then all of his cards would do well. But for now I think print runs in the 2 to 3k and 3-4k range produce more cards than there are collectors to buy them. Jmho

I’m gonna do a run of the Griffey Jr. and possibly the gold cards by Don C if there are more like the Frank Thomas. So far I have all four Griffey’s (Saladeen and Beck in hand, Taylor just shipped and waiting for Rochester Griffey and the Don C Thomas) I really screwed the pooch at the beginning figuring I could get Saladeen Griffey anytime but then the whole thing took off and I paid a pretty penny for it.
I like a lot of the other cards but financially I have to hold the line. Last edited by Deadman31; 05-23-2020 at 07:56 AM.
