Gleyber should attend a New York Red Bull’s game so he can be on a MLS Now card. It would be the highest printed MLS card ever.

As my old Grandma used to say, “The Hot Hand gets the Print On Demand!” Ah Grandma, she was such a character.

The damage during shipping, I think, is inexcusable. If I sell a card on eBay, I make every effort to pack it well enough not to be damaged on its way to the buyer. If Topps needs to invest in a truckload of penny sleeves, top-loaders, and team bags, then maybe they should.

The printing and centering issues I accept as part of collecting. Maybe I’ve set my expectations too low, but I’m also working on a 1961 Topps set and the printing/centering/registration issues in that set are legion.

Rhys Phillies · 05-30-2018, 04:26 PM

Congratulations on those grades. Those Markakis grades will stand up for awhile. 10’s will be very hard to find.

ThoseBackPages · 05-30-2018, 05:02 PM

i agree, put those in the closet and forget about em

Condolences extended. This will help me remember to order mine when I get back home Saturday.

I'm now in the habit of ordering my Living Trio when I order the weekly Topps 80th three card set, so I'm good for almost another week. (As much as 1953 fans love the Living Set, I can assure you non-sport fans are digging these 80th sets. Winners every week with that now, and they haven't even done the original Star Wars yet!)

I continue to get one of each Living Card, as I have from the start. I don't think I'll ever get less or more of one than any card. On the 80th set, I've gotten multiples of certain cards.

COTM 1 received and number 2 ordered. Have all MOTW Gold Winners ordered or in hand (except the Pujols, which I purposely skipped), and just received my first regular Topps Now purchase (the 6 pack with the Dodger No-Hitter, Gleyber & Andujar Rookies, and Pujols 3K, which is why I skipped his MOTW).

Pretty much everything has been in great shape. I reuse the envelopes and bubble wrap sleeves, so that's value added.

I also finally ordered my Royal Wedding set just under the wire, and am waiting on my Dodger Bonus Card for the combined No-no and autograph from my RTOD set (and holding out hope for another bonus for 1st Place at the AS break).

If you can't realize $5, is that really the value?

aschade · 05-30-2018, 08:44 PM

Still no print runs or did I miss something?

They need new batteries for the abacus.

If they consistently sell for $5, yes, $5 is the value.

Once again The living set strikes. Adam Duvall hits a grand slam same day his card is released!

No PR's for last week yet???

jdandns · 05-31-2018, 03:22 AM

Finally got to see the new Living Set trio and am pleased to see the return of the 2014 Topps base set Sparkle Variation SP, on Gleyber's helmet.

I'm hoping that during the off-season, they will lean more heavily on retired players. I'd definitely like to see some cards of players gone too soon. It would be a nice tribute, and I think moving for fans, for instance, who remember Nick Adenhart. To see him in an image painted from a photo taken from his superb but, alas, final start for the Angels (only hours before he and two others were killed by a drunk driver) would be a fine and fitting way to remember him.

Tracker file has been updated for the most part, took an extended vacation lol. Surprised to see no print run updates yet. Received my Ichiro set and all three looked good, sandwiched between two foam pieces in a plastic case.
