No--a couple have a tiny bit of white. As pointed out earlier in the thread, the Castellanos had some edge and corner white-that ended up being the worst of the bunch. I'd say the Markakis I got is a little borderline as well. The rest look pretty solid.

PSA 10s are not, nor were they ever declared to be "perfect"

Yep, I’m conscious of that. I phrased my question poorly. I’m trying to understand how loose the 10 standard is for Living set cards, given the issues we’ve seen.

I’ve got a few that I may try to submit (one Happ for sure) but wanted to get a sense of which ones may make the cut.

I’ve also got a Jeter with a cold-sore - ie a small print defect right on his top lip. Would rubbing some Abreva on the card be considered “improving” it?

I got Mercer on Friday, and Torres and Duvall today, all in separate Living Boxes in separate packages. All cards looked sharp on first inspection.

Ordering one 3 card set per week so far, I hadn't run into any real condition issues (2 cards from week 7 showed a little white at the color corner, but not terrible, and my Blackmon is off center). So with that in mind, I'm glad for the extra pair of Living Boxes, plastic cases, and reusable padded envelopes, but yeah, there's no way this method can continue.

Even if they can ship these for say, $2 per package, that, along with the packaging materials and the cost to print the cards themselves means they didn't likely get to keep much of the $15 I gave them for Week 12.

Got my Gleyber Set Orders today -

- Ordered 2 Sets + 10 Gleybers
- Received 5 Packages with 2 Sets + 11 Gleybers + 1 Duvall

I like receiving extras and everything but Topps needs to get this together- I've gotten "extras" of multiple cards a few times now! The print runs probably mean nothing for this set!

Groovy.

PSA says 10s are “virtually perfect.” Gives them some wiggle room.

hairysasquatch · 06-18-2018, 09:14 PM

Gleyber arrived today. Week 12 set complete.

So, I got my Gleyber/Jordy/Duvall's today. I ordered 2 sets. It came in 3 packages -- one for each player. All of the packing slips said 2 cards of each player, but of course, the Gleyber pack only had one. Odd that they are not sending all 3 together, and now am I just screwed out of a Gleyber?

Contact Topps and they should send you another one. They asked me for a scan/photo of the card I did receive and the packing list. My missing Brandon Morrow card is being shipped soon.

I believe that after 5 emails trying to get in touch with them with no return email, it should be known that "cardsdeals" is not what we are looking for.

I sure hope they are not on this messageboard but I have to worn my fellow flippers. They are on my blocked list as of tonight

Happy Flipping

I believe cardsdeals and hojusimpson are the same person. Hojusimpson just sold a Markakis BCCG 10 serial#10562815 and cardsdeals is selling a Markakis BCCG 10 serial# 10562814. Their locations are different. No chance 2 tough low PR are submitted by different people and get consecutive serial numbers.

Well it's safe to say the time has finally come, eBay is flooded with PSA graded Topps Living cards. It was fun while it lasted.

People just got orders back--I wouldn't read too much into it. It's a glut of the middle sets, not the early stuff for the most part.

I still have a ton of early stuff at PSA but even the price of the Judge is dropping. One sold yesterday for $112. Moving forward everyone will be grading these so I'm no longer sure it's worth the effort. I really love the Robinson but there will most likely be 1000 PSA 10s.

Or the guy who has as many BGS 9.5 raw as you want. That is to be expected though with 48k print run.

Just called Topps about my missing Torres card. They said there was an error that caused most of the Mercer cards to be sent separately for those that purchased sets. They said I would either get the Duvall or Torres separately or they would come together. I already received the Duvall so I guess I'll give them another couple days for the Torres.

On a Topps-Oops note I checked my invoices/packing slips and one of them is actually for someone else's order. So the Mercer cards I received had another individuals name on the packing slip.

Hmmm--that doesn't show up in my usual Living PSA searches. Weird. I wonder if other people had that issue and that's why there weren't more bidders.
