Topps NBA Living

[Joliet Jake]

Dang, that was quick!

All of Angel's artist signed cards are already sold out. Had one in my cart, but wasn't quick enough.

And even 1992-93 would work as a general framing structure and key year in Topps NBA past. Nothing says this one *had* to lock into a vintage year.

One card a week should mean only top names or rookies for a while -- a "miss" week might hurt more without a second one to fall back on (if they are sticking to one per).

I've updated the permissions to Viewer for anyone that has access to the link.

I bought 1,000 Judge cards from Living, for $4.00 a card back in 2018


Anybody think this #1 Lebron, will be better than the Judge card in price ?

Did you really buy 1,000 copies of the Judge #1?

You're single-handedly responsible for 7.5% of the print run!

As for this LeBron, I expect the response to be similar to Judge, maybe even more because the Living Set is a known commodity at this point. I picked up a 20-pack myself. I'm still hoping to pick up a PSA 10 Judge for a reasonable price at some point, and I'd like to avoid that with the LeBron release.

Yes, #1 card and Judge!
I have about 100 left.. Sold most at $25 - $50 a piece...

That's awesome!

Glad to hear you made your money back, and then some.

After seeing the LeBron signed cards sell out almost immediately today and realizing that some long time Collectors were shut out I was considering a subscription option. Would anyone be interested in that? This way you would be guaranteed not to miss out. Currently I have 3 people who have asked for each card for the entire season and thought I’d extend the offer to the people that truly love the Living Set series. The Gold /5 $50 would be $1750 for the remaining 35 cards and the Black /10 $25 would be $875. We can do the entire set or monthly where the payment would be due at the beginning of the month at 5 cards per. So the Gold would be $250 and the Black $125 respectively. I know 4-5 cards comes out each month but 5 card segments seems to work best at this point. Also, I will include a non-numbered signed LeBron card in Blue Ink as a gift to anyone who subscribes for the entire season. This would help to have the entire run if you missed out today. Feel free to email me at angelsaviles@gmail.com if interested… cheers!

Does anyone know if the Topps rewards coupons work on Living Set? Or do they only work on Topps Now stuff? Thanks!

I truly appreciate this option!

Is the non-numbered blue signed LeBron card available for subscriptions that pay monthly?

They only work on Topps NOW and Bowman U NOW. I tried to use points for LeBron earlier today, and received the ineligible notice.

[Angel Aviles]

I appreciate the positive feedback! Indeed, I will include a Blue LeBron with the monthly subscription once all 7 payments are made. For anyone who pays the full subscription I will send it with the first 5 cards or shipment. I was actually bummed that you missed out!!!

I’ve sent you an email.

You can count me in!

Thanks again for looking out for the longtime collectors.

I know it’s early and we’re all enjoying card #1 of Lebron James but does anyone think that #2 will be anyone other than Cooper Flagg?

I would assume he's next.

It'll be interesting to see how this first season unfolds, and what kind of breakdown we get with veterans/rookies/retired.

[oldgoldy97]

Steph is a good choice, too.

Definitely getting Curry and Wemby within the first 5 weeks.

There’s no way they’ll do all the first round picks this season. I’m guessing maybe 15 of the best or most hyped rookies for 2025-26 get included. Way too many superstars active and retired to not include them to drive up print runs.

Kurt Rambis in 2049 at this pace.

[Asian62150]

I think they should do Curry/Wemby/SGA/Jokic before Flagg.

My guess is they trot out some veterans until they see the PR drop a lot then they'll throw Cooper in there to spice things up.

They've said for retired players, they will only do 1 card, right? If that's the case, will they do KG as a Wolf or Celtic? My vote is Wolves.

They backtracked on that retired player 1 card statement. There have been a few MLB retired vets that have 2 cards in the set.

As a King, obviously.

I’d love to see this photo of Jerry West make it into the set when his time comes. What are some you’d like to see since action shots may be the theme here?
