T206 Polar Bear Chronicles By Chris Torres

Welcome to the final leg, the final week of Topps Project 2020! Just nine cards left in the set and the three that were revealed today are from Sophia Chang, Blake Jamieson and Naturel. I am also giving away one of the these three cards for free and I have to recap the recent two card giveaway from Thursday night. I also recap each card that released today and talk about a special episode next wee...

On the final weekend in Project 2020, we say goodbye to JK5, Matt Taylor and Oldmanalan. We also see Dwight Gooden for the last time as well.  I also recap the recent print runs and discuss a topic that I haven't talked about in months, the overall market in Project 2020. I also discuss what I am most curious on as we enter into 2021.  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/pro...

Today we say goodbye to Efdot and Gregory Siff, two of my favorite artists in the set. There players, Frank Thomas and Jackie Robinson are also ending their run today as well. Joining them today in Don C with his Derek Jeter, who still has a few cards left in Project 2020.  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Project 2020 Store https://www.crtsportscards.com/pr...

The light at the end of the tunnel is as bright as it has ever been tonight as the three releases today take us into the 380's of the set. Also, my favorite artist in the set releases their final card and another card is a free giveaway for the person who guesses closest to the actual print run. I also talk about what each of the three artists means to me as a fan of Project 2020.  Project 20...

The second to last Monday in Project 2020 and Ben Baller releases his Jackie Robinson, which is a free giveaway card on this channel. Best of luck guessing that print run! This is also the last time we will ever see Tony Gwynn in the set and I also recap the recent winner of the Andrew Thiele Ken Griffey Jr.  Plus more in one of the last remaining nightly episodes for this set! Project 2020 P...

The second to last Friday in Project 2020 brings us the close of Ermsy, Mariano Rivera and George Brett.  That brings us to a total of five chapters that have closed so far and there will be many more as we have just eight days left in the set. I also correct the record on Sophia Chang from the other night.  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Project 2020...

With the release today of Andrew Thiele's Ken Griffey Jr, that completes Andrew Thiele's run in Project 2020. This Griffey though is one of my most anticipated releases and the person who guesses closest to the print run will win a free copy of that card!  I also recap the other two releases today along with recapping the most recent print run announcements!

Today we make history in #Project2020 as Ted Williams becomes the first player to complete their 20 card journey, but was that a mistake on the part of Topps? Also, as we start to look back and understand what the true takeaways are from this set, I really believe the set is bigger than what is on the actual cards each and every day! I also recap the Monday print runs that were revealed today.&nbs...

Tuesday in Project 2020 is typically a lull day as we do not have any Print Runs for the week. So because of that, where do we go with content in 2021 as Project 2020 ends in two weeks and one day! I also recap the three cards that released today along with correcting one omission from last night's episode. Also, buyer beware on chasing the Rainbow Foilboard parallels.  Oldmanalan Nolan Ryan...

Welcome to another brand new week in #Project2020 with new releases today from Gregory Siff, Grotesk & Jacob Rochester. I also have to recap the contest winners and the six print runs that were reveled this morning. Last but not least, even this late in the set an artist can WOW you and energize you for the future! Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Project 202...

And that is a wrap for this week in Topps Project 2020! Closing out the week is a card that some have said is one of the best in the set but is that true? Or is it just an easy copy? I also crown two more print run guess champions along with reminding everyone to go and guess on last night's video for those two free cards.

Along with my thoughts on Topps tonight, I share one final thought as we enter into the last three weeks of the set. I also celebrate the winner of the Mike Trout Matt Taylor and discuss the next two cards that I am giving away for free in Project 2020!

The Ken Griffey Jr. Ben Baller print run is now at and when you take a look at that number in relation to current print runs, just how large is that Griffey Jr. The number will surprise you. We have also found the holy grail on the signed Artist Prints and I am giving away another two cards for free today! So much to cover in so little time! Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project...

The Mike Trout by Matt Taylor is here and along with 10 Trout Auto's available, this is Taylor's Rainbow Foilboard release!  I am also giving away a FREE COPY of the card to the lucky person who guesses nearest the print run of this card and all submissions are due by 10AM PST on Thursday!  I also discuss the potential print run for the Ben Baller Ken Griffey Jr. along with my thoughts,...

For the first time ever in the set, Topps releases three cards in one single day. Card #347 Ken Griffey Jr by Ben Baller, #348 Mariano Rivera by Fucci and #349 Cal Ripken by Mister Cartoon. We have also learned a lot about so many different things throughout this set, we should all be wise to the games now and make responsible buying decisions!  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.co...

I received something in the mail today that left me speechless.  Thank you is all that I can say and I am beyond humbled for your support throughout this year!  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Project 2020 Store https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-store WJL Sports - Mike Trout Auto  Used "CRT75" to Save $75 https://wjlsports.com/collection...

With just six weeks left in the set, how should be treating the homestretch of this set? I also need to celebrate our latest winner in the Most Anticipated Content for a free Ichiro Oldmanalan card along with recapping the two releases from today. Card #343 Dwight Gooden by Andrew Thiele & #344 George Brett by Jacob Rochester! Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps...

We wrap up another week in Project 2020 with the release of card #341 Roberto Clemente by Don C and #342 Ichiro by Oldmanalan. You can also win that Ichiro from me by accurately guessing the overall print run! I also recap a few notes from the week, share the final product of my custom card and talk about how I may not actually be a JK5 fan.  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/p...

Welcome to Thursday where we saw card #339 Jackie Robinson by Ermsy and #340 Mariano Rivera by King Saladeen release.

Welcome to Wednesday in Project 2020! Does the recent Bob Gibson PR tell us where the remaining cards are potentially headed in the set? I also cover the newest cards in the set, card #337 George Brett JK5 and #338 Mark McGwire by Joshua Vides. Included in the video is a first look at my companion card and potential delivery method. I am still in the brainstorming mode for it, so all feedback is w...

Welcome to Tuesday in Week #35 where we had a brand new Derek Jeter release by Natural, card #335, and card #336 was Roberto Clemente by Blake Jamieson. One of these two cards is up for a free card giveaway if you accurately guess the print run! All answers are due by 10am PST on Thursday morning. I also dive deeper into the new Rainbow Parallels as the Frank Thomas from last Friday was the second...

A lot to get to today but first we had two brand new cards release today, #333 Don Mattingly by Sophia Chang and #334 Bob Gibson by Efdot! I also recap the recent contest winners from our print run guessing challenge last week and pose one big question to everyone that was asked to me over the weekend! Welcome to Week #35 in Project 2020! Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-20...

Week #34 has come and gone but a lot of things have transpired this week in #Project2020. Releasing today is #331 Frank Thomas by Andrew Thiele and #332 Willie Mays by Tyson Beck. Some would argue these are some of their greatest pieces so far in the set? Do you agree with that? I also dive into a very frequent question that I have received around the newly released signed Artist Prints that went...

Just two days after release of the brand new Project 2020 Artist Prints, Topps changes up the game on us? Is that supposed to make us want them more or less now? We also celebrate our first winner in the Most Anticipated contest and talk about the two newest cards that released today, #329 Nolan Ryan by Ben Baller and #330 Tony Gwynn by Fucci. One of these two cards is is also on my Most Anticipat...

The first two print runs are out for the week and they came in very low. What do those numbers have to do with the recent Artist Proof release we talked about yesterday?  I also recap the two newest releases #327 Ted Williams by Mister Cartoon & #328 Ken Griffey Jr by Grotesk. I also recap one big note that I missed about the Gregory Siff Mike Trout that released yesterday!  Project...
