Topps Living Set

[nerdherd020]

Five years later and am still waiting for members of Oakland’s Big Three: Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito. A release in 2024 would be nice.

Excellent Post. Those big three would be great.

Personally, with regard to TLS inclusion, I couldn't care less who was accused of cheating. You can't have a set that reflects MLB history without including players like Barry Bonds and Pete Rose. I was happy to see the addition of Roger Clemens, even if he is wearing a Yankees hat.

(Maybe Jared and Angel could save some time by photoshopping the reference pix of the various cheats Topps sends so that they merely appear illustrated.)

The art has always been one of the main selling points for me. Even for players I'm otherwise indifferent to, for whatever reason, I still enjoy the immense talent the artists contribute to each release.

That would be great to see at least one of those guys released next year.

This is my general opinion of the set.

I agree. It is the art that makes this set. Long live the Living Set.

I added this to my Suggestion Spreadsheet (shared with Topps) when you suggested it. Topps is listening, evidenced by Barry Zito making his appearance in the set this week. Great work again by Angel!
