Topps Yankees Project - 2020 Challenges

Although my team has more than one card in 2020 Topps, the checklist is not going to be conducive to quickly checking off 2020 for my Topps Yankees Project. For those unfamiliar, it's a TTM autograph for each year Topps has existed. I have completed 1951-2019, but 2020 will be a tough one until Series 2 comes out.

Here's what the Yankees checklist is looking like, with the signing habits of each player.

• 7 Aaron Judge - rarely signs
• 16 Gleyber Torres - doesn't sign
• 46 Gary Sanchez - doesn't sign
• 68 James Paxton - rarely signs
• 83 New York Yankees Team Card - doesn't count
• 121 DJ LeMahieu - rarely signs
• 157 New York Yankees Combo Card - doesn't count
• 161 Aroldis Chapman - doesn't sign (used to!)
• 252 Aaron Hicks - sometimes signs
• 279 Masahiro Tanaka - doesn't sign
• 301 Mike Tauchman - signs
• 335 Luke Voit - doesn't sign

My best bet is going to be Mike Tauchman, which I'd be thrilled with. I've gotten him TTM before, actually, so I've got a shot here. I'll still probably send to Tauchman, Voit, Hicks, Chapman, and Judge in hopes that I catch them on a good day. Maybe I'll send the team card to a lesser-known player as at least a placeholder in my binder.

I haven't updated the project and shown pictures since 2017, so I'll have to do that at some point this spring. Here's who I have for each year, though:
