(Video of me unboxing at the bottom!)
I have drank/drunk/drinked/drankethed the kool-aid and picked up some Topps Wall Art "posters" (the 10x14s). I actually loathe that they call them posters, because they are not poster stock; they are card stock.
Before picking them up, I tried to do research on them, and there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot on them, so I thought a video and pics would help.
I had mixed feelings on them, but thanks to a black friday deal, I picked up some. The mail lady dropped them off this morning, and I do have a few more coming up!
Firstly, though I knew the dimensions, they are larger than I thought they would be. I am not typically a collector of oversized stuff, but I do love different parallels / rainbows, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
Here is a list of pros and cons for me:
CONS:
- They don't come in top loaders
- No backs
- They are oversized
- Yet ANOTHER parallel to chase
PROS:
- They are much more fun than I thought!
- Very unique addition to rainbow/parallel runs
- Showing off a massive baseball card to non-collectors might be worth the price of admission alone!
- They are now checklisted in Beckett
I kind of let out an audible sigh whenever I see Topps adding even more 5x7s, 10x14s, etc. but I dunno ... I do like these for some reason!
Here are the 4 different sizes of the A&Gs.
And for you astronomy geeks ....
And, here is a video of me showing them off:
