Topps Living Set

[bigsmooth]

Well, I’m definitely a fan of Living cards with in game batting stances.

[kidfan9]

I’m confused…are we getting two cards this week or all three?

Two cards, Grove and Bonds.

Topps originally listed Ramos as #804, but it was quickly pointed out he had already been featured with the Giants in 2022 #540, so they had to pivot to another player Angel had already completed.

And apparently Fernando Valenzuela was up for a moment and taken off too...hopefully being introduced very soon!

As with the previous notorious cheaters (Altuve, Braun, Cano, etc.) who have appeared in the Living Set, it's very disappointing to have to waste money on Barry Bonds to keep my set current, but I'm going to bite the bullet and do it, such is my regard for the work of these two artists.

On the upside, at least he's now out of the way.

Just accepting Giants in general is a Herculean task!

[jdandns]

Shall not the Gods of Baseball do right?
It says it all that the only time he ever got to the World Series in his 22 year career, the last third of which he spent as the most obvious cheater in the history of the game, his team couldn't even beat the Angels.

[jdandns]

My therapist and I agreed I should tell you I'm still just mad Barry picked the Giants over the Dodgers in free agency. Too bad LA ownership was so cheap back then, and that Barry had such strong ties to San Francisco. Imagine Bonds and Gagne on the same team, er, peaking, at the same time? Three World Series Trophies, minimum, and twice the broken lockers and scared teammates.

Looking forward to the new season of the Living Set.
An added bonus is that when I receive the latest cards in the mail (usually from SPW, thank you SPW), it's crucial proof that I lived at least another two weeks.

Hold on, I'm being told my hour is up...

This is something Topps should make a big deal about on their social media...they should send you a commemorative 1/1 of your favorite print.

Seriously.

Topps social
Media is all about breakers.

Sandy Koufax has had Topps cards again this year. We have all seen his license go back and forth between Topps and Panini in recent years. I would love to scratch that one off the list.

Sandy Koufax is number 1 on my want list

I just received the two bundles I ordered for cards 799 & 800; these were supposed to include a checklist for cards 700-800. However, no checklist was included with either bundle. Before I pester Topps about it, I figured I'd check to see if anyone else got the checklist in their order - maybe they'll be shipped separately?

I just had same issue, no checklist & going to pose same question to the group

[Joliet Jake]

I just got my bundle in the mail, and no checklist. The packing slip didn't list the checklist, nor did the shipment confirmation I received last week.

Mine was the same but when I just logged into Topps website showed below so perhaps checklist to be sent out in separate shipment

[dherm360]

they raise the prices but don't care about double shipping?

[whooch]

Are the Topps living set cards usually off center left to right?
I just received (4) Rogers Hornsby cards and that is the case.

They raise the cost to cover their inefficiency (and make a little extra $$$).

Same for boxes without "hits"...ship them out afterwards.

Same here. Order info shows checklists:

[SoCal Topps Now]

Just finished a chat with Topps. Checklist will be sent separate:

Okay, I appreciate the patience! Looks like the checklists cards are going to be shipping separately from the living set cards here!

With that said these are going to ship out in their own shipment, which you will receive tracking information for via email when the order ships out!😊

Topps Living Set Fine Art Print #806 - Cliff Lee

[Joliet Jake]

Great artwork, but a disappointing week after the blockbuster cards last Wednesday.

Hader didn't need to be featured again, but I understand this is the time of year where we get a lot of repeats.

It's great to see Lee in the set, but I'm disappointed Topps chose the Phillies. It makes me wonder if we'll ever get another Indians card.
