Ssalefish GSO First Look #300 for 2.1.23
I’ve done my best to stay out of the card craze that has mirrored the arc of the comic market in the last several years despite Bret & Colton giving me gifts including Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres autographs and Ahsoka Tano and Baku Frik features, making it extra tempting to keep going.
Then one day I was listening to Pod Meets World, and Danielle Fishel mentioned her husband was Jensen Karp, so I went on his Instagram, and he owns Gallery 1988 in L.A. which means he has a very impressive pop culture art collection, including this recreation of Bret’s favorite baseball card of Billy Ripken by Ermsy, who also did the above Derek Jeter card for the Topps Project 2020 collection. And now I’m sunk!
Two fold, cause now I want all of the Ermsy cards for Project 2020 and Project 70 AND I want all of the Yankee cards from both sets which are also done by other artists I know like Greg “Craola” Simkins and Joshua Vides, who have both designed basses for Mark Hoppus of blink-182 as well. And now I’m eating my own tail.
