Favorite Topps Project70 Cards From the Third Quarter of the Set

With the release of card #765, Topps Project70 has now released 75% of the 1,020 card set. As I did with the first and second quarters of the set, below I take a look at my 10 favorite cards from the third quarter (#s 511-765). (Click the affiliate links to shop the cards on eBay.)

694. New York Nico – Lou Gehrig 2008

I’m a sucker for pink and yellow, then you add in the emotion captured here, and you’ve got a great card.
525. Claw Money – Jackie Robinson 1986

Claw Money has the lowest average print runs in the set, but I think her super bright collection of cards is killer.
628. Lauren Taylor – Ty Cobb 1963

The understated 1963 design and expression on Cobb’s face allow Taylor’s impressive talents to shine.
595. Infinite Archives – Mike Trout 1968

This is kind of an odd pick, but there is something about the clashing colors and the burning/singed background treatment that really works.
591. Matt Taylor – Aaron Judge 1994

I dig the repeated profile of Judge’s intense stare and Taylor’s distinctive, limited color palette.
540. Chuck Styles – Derek Jeter 2009

I think I like my cards either really wild and bright or, like this one, understated.
521. Tyson Beck – Ken Griffey, Jr. 2007

Beck flipped the black borders from 2007 to white and lets those great baby blues and yellows shine.
746. Morning Breath – Jackie Robinson 2008

More yellow and pink! Can’t go wrong with those plus the great 2008 design.
588. Chuck Styles – Ernie Banks 1954

Styles captured a great expression on Banks here.
715. Andrew Thiele – Hank Aaron 1965

The best looking card of the entire set so far.
