If paying $5 for a card that may only grade PSA 8/9 is not acceptable to you, well....nobody is forcing you to continue to buy Topps Living cards.

People need to either stop buying or stop whining....it's been a known issue for several months at this point....

To your point, no one is forcing you to read the threads with people whining in them.

Meh, I think just 2 Gleyber RCs for me this week.

[VinnyH]

I had to remind myself of the 1500 or so Bernie Williams Topps and Donruss rookies in my garage.

PS: I think I’m into them for about 24 cents each.

Fully agree with this. It's annoying when investors only care about flipping and don't actually have love for the game or love for baseball cards. These are not true collectors they are just flippers infiltrating on our hobby. It's simple, stop complaining. If you don't like it, don't buy.

GT!!!!

[TwinsJake]

Some replacements arrived today. I'm on my way out the door to pick up some Twins tickets and then to my job for 5-6 hours before coming back to work cards. Early glance on these replacements is not good. I'll post pictures later tonight but looks like a lot of white corners again. Shipping method I've never seen. We'll see if it's just the stacks I picked up or if it's most of the box. I saw a Markakis stack that looked good so that's a plus. I wouldn't have shipped cards in this method though.

[KB81]

Just placed order for 10 GTs with ya Jake.

Next Living purchase will be Mariano Rivera whenever\if that drops.

i really like the GT!

The Torres is another spring training photo right? I believe he's worn the C-Flap on his helmet this season.

It's annoying when someone acts like their way of collecting is better than someone else's way. If everyone was just a true collector, not only could you not buy the singles you wanted, but you'd only have a Topps base product and nothing else. 1987 all over again. The hobby has evolved and you have to evolve with it!

PSA 10's:
(1) Judge, (2) Harper, (4) Smith, (1) Segura, (1) Gordon, (1) Ohtani and (1) Bradley Jr.

I put a min grade of 9 on all but Markakis and only had (3) that didn't get slabbed out of 22 cards. For Markakis, I got (2) 9's and (1) 8.5.

Looks like about half PSA 10's then.

These are going to be tough as I assume you looked over a fair amount of cards to send in 22 and like I said only half came back a 10. No wonder they are selling for so much.

Good score on the Harper...you might be first one out there with a Harper.

Topps printing money this week

Topps is getting farther behind on shipping

I just bought my Gleyber sets. Don’t expect these for 4-5 weeks

any 9s on the stars?

[Jeramy]

Looks like nothing higher than a 9 on Markakis, yet. There are 80! 10 Ohtani's. Looks like I got the first 10's for Harper and Smith. 76 Judge 10's.

[smanzari]

Question for bulk buyers- is there an easier/cheaper way to buy 100 or 250 cards? Or do I just need to "stack" the 20 card deal?

I had at least 20 of each, 30 of the first week. These were the best and the ones I didn't include I knew had no chance of getting a 9.

A tad bit of Gleyber overkill this week.

That's what I figured. I can easily get rid of about 25-30% of the cards just for being off centre alone. Never mind the crappy corners....

[GemMintKing]

I don't like the Gleyber. The guy is always happy and smiling and he looks downright depressed on the card.
