Of all of the artists that were involved with the Project 70 set last year, I have to say that Lauren Taylor was my favorite. Her photo-realistic renderings of the players using elements from the cities in which they played caught my attention from the very beginning. I seriously considered buying other cards from this set if there was not to be a Red Sox card. Luckily, there would eventually be two.
This one came from the subset of All Star starters that were released around the All Star Break. Taylor had the two third base starters: Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals and Rafael Devers. Devers made his first All Star team in 2021, though it likely should have been his second. He had a huge season last year, hitting .279/.352/.538 with 38 home runs, 101 runs scored and 113 RBIs. As good as he was, he is still just 25 years old. The sky may very well be the limit with Devers. Boston needs to lock him up. Do not make the same mistake they made with Mookie Betts.
Agree, Lauren was by far my favorite as well. Her Ty Cobb is in my collection, and I'd like to get others.
