T206 Polar Bear Chronicles By Chris Torres

Mariano Rivera blows his second save this year and has a card printed under 2,000 but does that really matter for the set as a whole?  What could be the reason why he keeps selling so low in the current environment.  I also am forced to pick between my first love in Project 2020 and my new crush.  Which one will I choose? I also talk about the market and what we are seeing at the mo...

In a follow-up video from June, I take another look at graded Project 2020 cards, specifically BGS 9.5 versions, and talk about if I would be buying them or not and the potential long term value they represent at the current moment.  I also wrap up the last four cards of the week and pick a favorite card of the week.

Welcome to Week 27 in Topps Project 2020! Without much notice, Topps just abandons their number one selling strategy on the release of Mike Trout's card #260 release. I theorize why they might have done this and also what this means for the past releases. I also breakdown all of the releases so far this week, the first two print runs and a look back at all of the Week 26 print runs!  Project...

We are now well past the time that we should have seen these auto's show up on the secondary market.  As it currently stands we are missing nearly 100 auto's from these players as the autographed Project 2020 card was supposed to release the base card?  Is Topps holding back certain orders or have they decided to ship them out a different way?  I also talk about a way for you to sav...

It took just 244 #Topps #Project2020 cards but we have now officially sold over 2 million base cards!  With 156 cards left in the set, where do we go from here and how low will the print runs go through a very distracting fall?  I also discuss my card of the week and share my thoughts on all of the cards that have released this week along with the first two print runs!  Project 2020...

There are a lot of great things happening right now in Project 2020 but if you were waiting for Topps to celebrate them, you would be disappointed.  That begs the question though of why?  Is Topps afraid to be successful with Project 2020 again?  With 3.5 months left in the set, we need them to start talking about the set again!

Here we are at the middle of Week 25 in #Project2020 and a card from last weekend was just printed at under 2k, a number that I never thought would be crossed again in this set.  As we look forward in the set, what does that mean and after six card releases this week, what is my favorite so far?  I also introduce a new Q&A section and if you want to submit a question to me, please re...

This week in #Project2020, we had some great cards released by #GregorySiff, one by #Efdot and one by Blake Jamieson and many others.  This was also a very expensive week in general and I cover all of that in show today. I also update everyone on the secondary market and more and more mainstream news outlets are picking up on this set and sharing details!   Project 2020 Page https://www....

As we close out August, which was a very difficult time period for this set, we are now at a tipping point for this set.  Will the powers at be improve advertising in the fall for this set or are we left to our own devices to drive excitement for this set? If we are left alone, where will be project be in late October as we hit card #300.  Blake Jamieson Interview https://youtu.be/DVfH83...

The print runs are dropping in Project 2020 but is celebrating a low print run, actually counterproductive to what we are trying to accomplish here?  And what are the lasting effects of that celebration as we get closer to card #300.  I also talk about my favorites from the Wednesday and Thursday cards along with recapping the first four print runs of the week.  Along with that, I v...

Due to a vacation this weekend, we had a print run data dump on Monday and then two just absolutely fantastic cards were released right after that we need to talk about!  We then have more drama on Tuesday as the releases were several hours late and it left everyone scrambling!  Blake Jamieson Interview https://youtu.be/DVfH83NDQVI Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project...

Topps goes on vacation this weekend and leaves all of the Project 2020 fans in the dark on the print runs.   I also talk about my favorite cards of the week and my overall top card from Week #22!  Please also check out my Saturday interviews below.  Blake Jamieson Interview https://youtu.be/DVfH83NDQVI Interview with Carlos https://youtu.be/8FsfM7AGjmc Project 2020 Page https:/...

There are multiple challenges facing us this week in Project 2020, both short term and long term that we need to be aware of going forward.  I also talk about how I am having fun this week with the project and I update everyone on the news fro TwinsJake based on my previous video.  Because I Am Carlos Interview Stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FsfM7AGjmc Project 2020 Page https://...

As we wrap up Week 21 in Project 2020 all of the recent chatter has been about the JK5 Companion Card box and the lack of updates from TwinsJake.  I share my thoughts on both along with print runs and updating everyone on the August market, which has been rough.  Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Join My Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/crtsportsca...

As I wind down the first season of the Project 2020 Show, I talk about a item that I added to the website to assist in the transition from daily to weekly audio content.  I also highlight one impressive collection and preview Blake Jamieson's Ted Williams & Joshua Vides Don Mattingly!

Today is the 99th and 100th card that we have covered on release day and with that, I do need to announce a few changes to the show going forward.  Along with that, I discuss the Gregory Siff Willie Mays and Grotesk Mike Trout that released this morning!

August is here and there are multiple challenges that face us in the next four weeks.  I also recap the weekend that was with the print run announcements and I preview Naturel's Nolan Ryan and Andrew Thiele's Rickey Henderson!

To make this show as robust as possible I have one big question for the pure collectors out there of Project 2020. I also recap the print run announcements from yesterday along with where I think the next four print runs will land over the weekend!   Project 2020 Page https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-topps Pre-Order Today's Cards Here: https://www.crtsportscards.com/project-2020-to...

Today I released brand new sales charts for 1st& 2nd Player along with the Forgotten 7 and Y2k Group.  I walk everyone through the charts and how to use them for buying and selling.  I also release my print runs for Sandy Koufax and Roberto Clemente along with previewing Ichiro and Dwight Gooden from this morning!

Today is all about the cards from this week with no market data.  As the print runs continue to fall are we making a mistake by "hoping" a print run lands in the high 2K range?  I also release my print run projections for Mariano Rivera, Tony Gwynn and I discuss the the newest cards that were released today.
