Topps Project70 arrives as artist-fueled Project 2020 sequel
Update (Feb.17): The Project70 cards are now live and in the gallery -- new cards will be added daily after they are revealed.

Details are deliberately leaking out -- by some names you should know if you collected baseball cards in 2020 -- for a new artist-field baseball card line coming soon from Topps.
It's Project70 -- a new brand that will revisit past stars and designs in new ways in this year that's the 70th anniversary of Topps' start with baseball cards back in 1951.
The image above -- and then who's involved -- is all that has trickled out so far, but with the launch of 2021 Topps Series 1 coming in a matter of weeks this one should be arriving soon, too.
Artists take on classic Topps baseball cards in Project 2020
What happens when Topps selects 20 artists to re-imagine 20 iconic baseball cards from the past?
A new set called Topps Project 2020.
The first two cards arrived today with Ichiro Suzuki's 2001 Topps Rookie Card and Sandy Koufax's 1955 Topps Rookie Card getting the nod from artists Ben Baller and Jacob Rochester.
How does it work? Keep reading for the details.
