FYI - 50 1/1s were delivered, signed, and dropped back in the mail today. Topps should have these in-hand tomorrow. Hopefully, that means collectors will start receiving them soon.

These look far superior than last year's prints. I was blown away with the quality of the print job. The colors are amazing, and if I'm being really honest, there were several that I thought looked better than my original paintings. I hope everyone else agrees that these look fantastic.

Thanks to anyone who purchased a print. It truly mean a lot to me!

Although.....

I just noticed a really big mistake on the Gibson print....Didn't see that until I posted it here.

I'll holler at Topps about sending out a new 1/1 that features the G on the hat.

Joliet Jake · 05-11-2022, 04:10 PM

Prints look great, and I plan on picking up each of the ones you posted.

Glad to hear you caught the Gibson error, too. The G really sets it apart and makes it fit the set.

How often does Wheeler ship? My oldest not shipped Living set card was from early March.

Ok, I was wanting to ask this too because I've ordered cards every weeks since 2/9 and have yet to receive any cards in hand. Looking at my order history everything says "awaiting fulfillment". Kind of concerned because I'm a former Twins Jake customer and I don't want to go down that road again.

Long wait times are understandably frustrating, but my history with Wheeler is that he always fulfills his orders, even if it takes longer than expected. Matt (Wheeler) has multiple businesses he runs so sometimes the card orders are delayed, but he's always been a man of his word when it comes to business.

Have you tried contacting him via his site?

I can echo this sentiment.

I've never had an issue with an order being fulfilled by Wheeler. The fulfillment times can vary, and if you have multiple cards in an order that span multiple release dates, my experience has been that he waits to ship the order in whole.

I appreciate the feedback guys. As I said in my previous post I'm coming from ordering from Jake so I'm coming from a bad experience.

Agreed.

Perfect week to feature Fergie with his statue being unveiled at Wrigley on Friday.

I might have to try for the 1/1 print.

Thanks, guys. Matt Majors on Twitter (@CardBoardStats) suggested dropping a Fergie card this week since his statue unveiling at Wrigley will be on Friday. Topps loved the idea and immediately sent me a reference image.

Just one more example of a collector's input being realized in the Living Set. Keep sending me your suggestions for the set and I'll keep passing them along to Topps.

Agree. Awesome timing and suggestion. Not to mention work of art

Since you asked ...

I'd like to see Topps take advantage of the opportunity to include Zack Greinke & Albert Pujols with their original teams (Royals & Cardinals, respectively).

More Negro Leaguers - Buck O'Neil during the week of his Hall of Fame induction seems like a natural. Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell, Bullet Rogan, Martin Dihigo ... the list is a long one.

Also, I'll continue my quixotic quest for a Dan Quisenberry card. One of the game's great characters deserves inclusion.

Dude. Minnie minoso. He finally made the hall.

Also the late great dick Allen, who just missed the hall and is due for another shot sooner than later thanks to the new committee rulings.

I will Personally buy many 20 packs of either.

Picked these up a couple of weeks ago. Love the vintage look with the blue auto.

The first Mantle print popped up on eBay, and it’s 001/100.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/22499254049...mis&media=COPY

Currently 32 bids, top bid is $127.50, with 21h to go.

kidfan9 · 05-25-2022, 09:49 AM

So....what are we thinking? Since the seller has #1 it's possible he has most or all of them?
