  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 88: Does Mariano Rivera Falling Under 2,000 AGAIN Really Matter for the Set?

    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 moment!

  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 87: Are GEM MINT BGS 9.5 Project 2020 Cards Currently Undervalued?

    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.

  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 86: Topps Quietly Abandons Their #1 Selling Strategy For This Set.

    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 2020 Show Ep. 85: Where Are the Guaranteed Mike Trout, Derek Jeter & Frank Thomas Auto's?

    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 save $75 on a Mike Trout auto from WSJSports.com

  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 84: Looking Forward in Project 2020 After Selling 2 Million Base Cards!

    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 Show Ep. 83: Is Topps Afraid to be Successful Again with 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!

  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 82: Week 25 Midweek Update & a Week 24 Card Prints Under 2,000 in September

    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 reach out to me on twitter! Contact info is below!

  • Project 2020 Show Ep 81: What Happened in Week 24, What I Am Buying & Extra Publicity For the Set

    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 Show Ep. 80: The Tipping Point is Here as We Enter Into September!

    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.

  • Project 2020 Show Ep. 79: Why We Shouldn't Be Celebrating Low Print Runs

    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 verbally brainstorm an idea with the community that might go over well or not well at all!

About T206 Polar Bear Chronicles By Chris Torres

From the publisher's feed

Are you a collector of T206 cards or just want to learn more about them? This is the podcast series for you as I will guide you through an in-depth look at my favorite tobacco advertisement back of the entire 520 card set, the Polar Bear back! One great thing about the Polar Bear back run set is that the set is only 250 cards instead of the 520 that are required to complete The Monster. Come along and learn why I love Polar Bear so much.
