I am wondering if there is a way to create a PID for the Artist on these cards, since it is one of the primary marketing/selling points. There are likely a number of us who would be interested in collecting all of the cards in a set from one particular artist and they are listed in the card descriptions. Is this something that can be done, should be done, should absolutely NOT be done (and why?), what do you think?

Admin has stated in the past that artists should not be linked because they are not the subject of the card. So, that would be a hard no.

It's not the greatest solution, but Topps has an "archive" of the Project 2020 cards that you can filter by artist.  That way you could at least get the card numbers for each card by that artist in the 2020 series.  Then you could create collections in TCDB by Artist or Project or whatever.  They'll probably have something similar for Project 70.

Thanks! This was the answer I was looking for. I can find what I need without the handy addition of filtering by artist indexes. (Would still be really cool though).

I wonder how many of us are collecting these by artist instead of player? For example, I have the Ted Williams project 2020 card by Mr. Cartoon. I would much prefer the other 19 cards by that artist than the other 19 cards of that player.

For Project 70 I would like to get a many of the Lauren Taylor (artist) cards as possible, but I don't even know (or care) which players those will be. 

Thanks for the answer!

I have no specific interest in collecting the sets, but would it make sense to add the artist name in the Notes field so it shows up on the checklist, maybe?

Adding the Artist Name to Note2 is completely within the guidelines, and now that Note2 displays on the main checklist page, this might help many various collectors.

We already have the artist name in the Note 2 field for every card for Project 2020. That will continue for Project 70.

Yes. The information is handy already. Thank you to those who built the project 20 checklist.
