Card #112: Now This Is Art

Every day on Monday through Friday, Topps reveals their latest pair of cards to be offered as part of the Topps Project 2020 set. 

It was revealed during Blake Jamieson's Zoom Conference with Sophia Chang that her version of Roberto Clemente will be available tomorrow. 

I really like all these different versions of Clemente's 1955 Topps card and am excited to see her take on it.

I have been picking up other Clemente art reproduction cards in sets lately, especially the Topps Museum Canvas Collection cards.

This card is from 2019 Topps Museum and is absolutely stunning. 

Unlike the graphic designers or jewellers that are working on Project2020, you can tell that this was done by someone who does photorealistic paintings.

Art is a very subjective term, but ask anyone in the sketch card industry and they'll tell you...
"That is art"
When they look at how well the artist captured The Great Roberto Clemente.
