Why this card matters
Ozzie Smith is a Hall of Famer known as 'The Wizard' for his legendary defensive play at shortstop with the St. Louis Cardinals. Project70 cards feature reimagined designs by prominent artists, making each card a collectible piece of art in addition to a sports card. The artistic interpretation and limited print-to-demand window make this a desirable piece for both Smith collectors and art-focused card collectors.

Population Context
Project70 cards are moderately graded in PSA and BGS populations. Because of the print-to-demand nature, total print runs vary widely by card. Ozzie Smith cards generally attract grading interest among Hall of Famer collectors. PSA 10s exist but centering and surface quality on Project70 cards can be inconsistent, keeping true gem mint populations moderate. BGS graded examples are less common than PSA.
Collector Notes
Project70 cards were sold during a limited time window (typically a few days per card), making final print runs unpredictable — some cards printed only in the hundreds, others in the thousands depending on demand. Collectors should check for centering issues, which are a common concern with this set. The artist design is a key part of the appeal — knowing which artist created card #445 adds to its collectibility. Cards shipped directly from Topps and can show corner or surface wear from packaging. Always inspect carefully before grading submission.
