And soon as I post the original thread I realize I missed the 2nd 0 in 2020. That's about right as my vision doesn't hit those numbers....

Looks like the first look for 2020 Topps is out.

I would give it the shrug shoulders emoji.  as CC says in their article it reminds me more of a Bowman design than a flagship design.

Thanks!

While I certainly have my preferences, I think I care less about the look of the card than lots of folks. That said, I like it! I miss borders and there will be complaints about the vertical wording, but on the whole it looks pretty good. As long as they don't revert to the lack of full stats on the back, I look forward to next year.

(Really, I shouldn't have even looked. I haven't even gone through my 2019s yet...)

I'm curious how the parallels will look with this design.

I’m a border guy too. Everything from the last few years seem to blend together for me.

I assume the parallels will be similar to previous years and color tint the shaded area next to the name

So many edges...

It's interesting. I have mixed feelings about it. First glance was okay, but then I looked at it closer and it began to remind me of some of those Playoff designs, albeit a more tame version.

I think I’m in the meh camp. Not bad but nothing ground breaking
