Thanks Van for the above link!

So as we were informed at the Summit on the 9th The Living Set should be introduced today. It will be in the 1953 design (I'll add photos soon of the original artwork)
The living set is a set that will go on forever (or at least that is the plan) starting with Aaron Judge and branching off to retired players later on. I believe it is one card a week and then that card/player will never be offered again (unless they change teams). Obviously retired players will get just one card....ever. The set will have an issue every Wednesday and be open to buy for a week (like TBTs). The set will carry forward from now until...FOREVER!

(Or at least that is the plan!)

No artist info on the back of the card? Hmmm.

Yes, as I was looking at it more closely it could be Cal. Black hat with the Oriole logo (bird) that can't be seen. Good chance he drops this week?

I thought it was Cal when I first saw it. We're also due to have an Oriole at some point and sooner or later, another retired great. This would fulfill both. But I was just going off of the photo. Definitely looks like him in his earlier years. However, Duke and Cal share resemblances so... both are good shots.

are we sure this pic is of a retired player?

This is cool! Are they all 1953s for this year or Forever? Will they go up at around the same time as the typical topps now cards?

Exact questions where asked at the Summit. Yes the 53 set Forever and every Wednesday, about the same time as TBT's or Now cards come up.

AWESOME! 1953 is my favorite- super excited about this set!

That's a cool product concept. I'm definitely open to buying Cubs cards from this set if they are good likenesses of the players. The quality of the Judge card is encouranging in that regard.

You can see some more photos on my facebook page...if you do the facebook. They are under the summit thread. Some were just amazing...

What has me excited is that it will be a on going set from today until...whenever. Looks like it will be 52 cards a year...I believe all the same artist (for now) a Japanese artist named Mayumi Seto who many of you know already!

Yeah, that's what excites me. I've got 3 boys so I'm thinking about working on a set for each of us. It's nice to get in on the front end of a release like this haha.

Are there bulk discounts? and if so are you buying and offering them like the TN cards? if so I'm interested in pricing
