who's fabio? Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) seems like this is more geared for the younger, hip hop, street wear demographics noticed that alex pardee is is now the #1 artist of the bunch. with print runs of 15k and 25k. his approach is quite a bit better than most of the artists as he's a very good illustrator going to be interesting to see if people continue to hammer away buying these and have it wind up like last years fiasco where they made 100k of griffey which has now become less than a $10 card that not many want . his art might keep it afloat, but unless more collectors come in and and say "i want/appreciate it' it might ruin 70 like 2020. in the big picture 15/25k isn't that much, but within the hobby it's a pretty big number https://www.mlb.com/news/topps-project70-artist-alex-pardee-brightmares-ronald-acuna-jr-mike-trout Edited May 5, 2021 by fwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they sold out in 15 minutes...or less Awesome looking card. I would have liked to of had one, but the price isn't to my liking/value The amount of money being spent on things in this hobby in 2021 has no bounds. For $100 you would think that he would personally sign the damn thing. To pay $250 or more just for him to do so is asinine. I mean, he signs $50 serigraphs/prints, and a lot of his original signed artwork is less than the most expensive Acuna option. It's too bad that many artists are in for the quick money grab. At least with Pardee his work is top, top. And if people want to just throw money at his stuff, good for him. Going to be interesting to see how the hobby reacts to his Trout. 25K is quite a bit. It may be absorbed at least through every card he releases. It's possible if every card is amazing every release will build up the previous cards collectability even more. I don't know where the cutoff PR "panic mode" amount is, but 100K Griffey Shore is more niche than this and couldn't carry it. It's possible he'll have a 50K or 100K PR which might set the dominos in action, coupled with him selling all the other stuff on his own might be oversaturation to the point where the demand just drops off the cliff along with most of the value. This will definitely happen at a certain number that we don't know yet. There's also the possibility that he'll be the only one left standing at the end of Project70 and will continue to demand high dollar with every card he releases, because he has so much more appeal on mostly every level than all the other artists. The Acuna might go up even more because it's quite possible that it will be his lowest PR Edited April 3, 2021 by fwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunsRTonsOfFun Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 I love the Project70 cards. LOL...they're basically the only cards I can get right now. I was lucky enough to get a foil of the Tatis/Gwynn Keith Shore card. Really sweet card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Black Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 The Alex cards i'm collecting for sure, but the claw money seaver was one i had to buy, i got the three pack and got a pujols foil that went straight to the bay. The best thing about these is people are not trying to flip now, at least not like before and people are enjoying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rms13 Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think I bought about 10 so far but I'm getting serious Project 70 fatigue with the endless Yankee and Dodger players. 3 Lasorda cards already? But I love the Ermsy Dock Ellis last week. But I'm just buying ones I like and ignoring the rest. micky 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who's fabio? Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) the latest. seems like his work has gotten progressively worse since the acuna. this looks like a combination of rorschach and the joker coupled with disjointed limbs/tentacles. this is low effort and a poor player choice.

I bought it. I like the player choice. Not a Yankee/Dodger. Not Acuna, Soto, Tatis or Trout. The first rookie card of Project 70. Maybe not the hottest prospect/rookie that he could have chosen but a good prospect and I was a fan of his father's so all makes it an interesting enough buy for me.

Only time will tell if it's a poor player choice...as of right now..the card has the highest ceiling since the project started. It's a true rookie card and Hayes has all the potential/results a team could ask for. A few awards the next couple years and this card goes for hundreds. Maybe thousands.

Maybe thousands. some of what you say is true. hayes hits the ball hard from what i've seen and it jumps off the bat. i would feel a lot better about his future if he wasn't 24 and has shown more star ability in the minors. i think it's a step down art wise for pardee. it just looks like bad comic book art imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who's fabio? Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 latest release is much better than the trout and hayes. pretty cool story about it from twitter as well. if hayes sells almost 12k they will probably make/sell 20k of these if not more.

who's fabio? Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) wow,...surprised the mays didn't top 10k. the trout companion cards seems pretty cool as well. didn't take long to sell out as well. now people are paying 200 Edited May 17, 2021 by who's fabio?

rms13 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I just ordered the Randy Johnson. That is by far my favorite of his so far. The purple color scheme looks awesome, it has a Undertaker feel to it. And he's got the bird in the background, it's one of the few perfect P70 cards for me so far. I missed the Acuna card somehow and don't want to pay $50+ for it now especially with how high that print run was. I got Trout and Hayes and skipped the Mays card because it was too much werewolf and not enough Willie for me. If I can pick that one up cheap on the secondary I probably will down the line.

micky 8 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 love the project 70 cards im not sure if they will be worth anything i personally just a bought a few to support the artist, my handle pic is a micky mantle by Ces its a great way to get one of your favorite players hand painted by one of my favorite artist, a value increase would just be a bonus, most cards i buy even for investment have to be aesthetically pleasing a great photo, a classic nostalgic throwback or cool insert or some just an amazing looking set like 86 fleer basketball, 87 topps tiffany, 2008 etopps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like his style and want them for my PC, regardless of what they run for. From this post history you seem very stuck on their long term value, which is fine, but I couldn't give two sh* ts what the long term value of them are.
