While I'm not a fan of the super short print concept, I think both of these cards are fantastic images and I'm glad that they're finally part of my collection.

Gatorade Baths
As the 2020 baseball season teeters on the brink I was reading some of the articles posted the past few months about some of the stipulations that would be put in place IF the season were to proceed. One of those included no player showers after games. I guess that's ok as long as players are no longer permitted to celebrate with the mobbing at home plate or the post game gatorade baths. Sure, it stinks "literally" but it's a different world we live in right now. That being said, yesterday I stumbled upon a couple of super short prints that I thought I would never own since they were so far out of my price range a year ago. These two cards together ran me the same price as it would if I had purchased just one of these a few months ago.

The Senzel especially is a great image. I would have had no idea that these were SSP's.
I never really understood why Topps decided to use some of their best photos for the super short prints. Personally, I think they should do away with them and use these fantastic photos for their flagship cards. Perhaps that would get more people interested in purchasing that product again.
Lol. I wouldn't have known these were SP's either. I've always wondered how many SP's I've tossed into my donation boxes over the years.
I've often thought about starting a "Gatorade Bath" mini-collection, but too damn many of them are SSSSSSSSPs.
I agree Nick, of all the images Topps decide to use from their super short prints it has to be those with players getting doused. That would be a VERY expensive mini-collection.
I agree Fuji. It's not like Topps easily spells out what cards are super short prints. Besides, if a majority of collectors like them just make then a standard print card and don't limit it's production.
