I planned on being in the whole run... last October I wasn't working as much and had to cut back on things. Planned on buying the cards I missed to get caught up. After I missed 8 weeks the set just didn't have the same feel for me. I picked up a few weeks and just stopped.

Now what? lol

Save your money!

anyone keep the boxes from the set??? Some guy just asked me to keep them for him that he wants to get as many as he can--kind of a weird request

I believe the 2018 boxes had a bit of value.

thedarkbrown · 05-03-2020, 06:28 PM

I keep them all in their boxes. When I receive them, I open to verify contents, print out that weeks card w/ print run numbers, write the week # and include the info inside the bubble wrap, then put each in a bigger box. I now have 3 large boxes of these, lol

kidfan9 · 05-03-2020, 10:16 PM

I've kept all the boxes that I've received so far. They are empty and I lay them out flat and stack them up with a heavy box or item on top of the stack to compress the stack. I'd be happy to let some go for a fair amount.

lankrocks · 05-04-2020, 02:17 PM

Just counted, I have 111 TLS boxes, emptied of the card holders, but left all the black sponge packing things in there. The last cards I received (Teheran & Lux) were from week #111 of TLS, so I am averaging exactly one box a week, and currently have a total of around 2,700 TLS cards. Figuring the set has printed a (reported) total of 1,457,998 cards (through #306), I estimate that I own .0019% of the total number of TLS cards out there in the world. Eeesh... That's a big crapload of cards.

That’s a great looking Salvy card. He’s one of the guys I’ve been waiting for.

I thought this was funny.

Has the Topps cart entirely quit working? I've had issues in the past couple months but this week has been the worst for me. I've logged in a dozen times the past four days at different times and still unable to buy living cards.

Blame "Project 2020"....it's pretty much crashed the Topps website....

Nice! I just bought 3 bundles on ebay pretty cheap.

I think both of these will be good ones.

jefflasvegas · 05-21-2020, 09:27 AM

I'm surprised w the Avisail choice last week considering he appeared w the White Sox earlier in the set. For Brewers, I would have preferred Josh Hader, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor or Prince Fielder.

sandlotsportcards · 05-21-2020, 10:29 AM

Had my first week of a missing card, Hoerner. I hope it doesn't take forever to get. I'm still doing one set a week but the last few weeks have been pretty lackluster. I like the Bieber this week. I'm starting to lose some interest in this set but feel like I need to keep going.

Asian62150 · 05-21-2020, 11:55 AM

Yeah. Topps really messed this set up.

They shouldn't have reduced the number of cards/week. But I understand that move if Ms. Seto isn't able to keep pumping out 3/week.

But reducing the cards while raising the price? That just turned a lot of people off and gave them an excuse to stop buying.

At least they could have given long time purchasers a 25% discount code like they were doing for UCL Living (which Topps also ruined).

All true....but the other problem Topps is having with Living is the fact that they've run out of star players and hot rookies to feature.

The only players they have left who can drive sales are a few retired players and HOFers.

Asian62150 · 05-21-2020, 12:34 PM

I'm fine if they reduce it to 1 card/week if they really intend to keep this going forever.

But reduce the price to like $1 for commons, $2.50 for RCs, and $5 for All-stars/HOFers.

It's a print to order product so they're not wasting money on unused stock/inventory.

Change artists every 100 cards. Do a mascot or announcer/commentator/commissioner/owner/"contributor to baseball".

Inject some new life into a stale product. We've been on this same thread page for the whole month of May.

Kind of fun to see the LS Prints listed for auction on the MLB site...

Rays have an autographed Choi up for bids.

I was hoping that the Living set might get some interest from the Project 2020 crowd, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Can you envision the living set having daily gains like we are seeing in the Project 2020 set? that is the world I want to live in! In the end, they are vastly different products, I guess.
