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

Some more of the original artwork

One of my favorites...it’s just a stunning drawing

Looks like there will be at least one Philly!

If there is a bulk discount I will be offering these as part of my buyers club at a discount. Nothing was mentioned about pricing, but I am hopeful for bulk discounts and free shipping like Topps Now.

This is pretty cool. Like someone else asked, bulk discounts? Or is it $9.99 a card plus shipping? (ve never done topps now, but love this idea)

Artists web site...perhaps they will have our own Monty Sheldon do some in the future...I'd buy those for sure! (Shameless plug for our local starving artist and Now enthusiast)

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!)

Well there goes my idea of starting heritage over.. looks like they are doing it week to week..

I would be in favor of 5 card lots instead of 1 card per week... price point will kill collectors..

Also you know its just a matter of time before autos hit in this ....

Very cool idea.. i do like it a lot... But would rather seen them start over with heritage 1952 53 54 55 56 57 etc... while keeping the original heritage going 69 70 71 72 73 etc.. have both

The cost is going to be crazy for those who want to master collect this

joejoemay · 03-14-2018, 11:38 AM

Bulk discounts like Now! Look for their own "The Living Set" where you see On Demand, Topps Now and Throwback Thursdays

monkeymcgee · 03-14-2018, 11:41 AM

I've been looking for a cool set to put together for my nephew--this might be a fun one to start up.

This is going to be the 53 set...only...it won't change years ever.
There is a bulk discount for buying 5, 10 and 20, like Topps Now

Yes and when he is old enough he can continue it and so on and so on. It's what I really like about it.

I love topps baseball so i am happy for them...

They are just printing money.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

First card judge... Guess on the run 5-10 thousand?

kyle1707 · 03-14-2018, 11:48 AM

Also will the cards be an original stock like the 53 or modern day heritage

or will it be a thin glossy card...

thanks

I am sure they are hoping so but as a new set maybe not. The fact it will be up for a week will factor in but it be near TBT numbers with Judge in it last year...3K would be my guess. Even at that Print Run though the secondary market for the card will be pretty high I think.

I picked them up and they looked old school but never took it out of the case so not sure...will find out.

Darth Bryzzo · 03-14-2018, 11:59 AM

Fantastic-looking product concept.

Creepily abysmal name.

Net positive. I’m interested in what cards for my PC guys look like. If they are good likenesses, I’m in on those.

okumeister · 03-14-2018, 12:08 PM

Mayumi Seto!
I love her works.
Have bought several of her original artworks as below.
Will be a no-brainer for me to buy into this new product line, but just hope the price point stays reasonable.

Ms. Seto is awesome! Topps has the perfect artist for this set, they don't need an old baseball painter like me!

I still think Topps should give Ms. Seto a credit on the back of the printed card. It really is the very least they can do for the artist.
