Topps Living Set - Page 611

[QUOTE=jaredkelley;19816347]For record, I do not support censoring history. The Paige artwork was not improved by hiding all references to the Indians. If a player played for the Indians, then the Indians logos should be featured on the card. Since all Topps art has to be filtered through MLB before it can be approved for sale, it's hard to tell whose "ideology" is responsible for this silly politically correct editing of historical figures; it could be Topps, could be MLB, or both.

I agree completely. If there is ever a Topps Living Set for football (which I would support) you have to have Redskins in the set as Redskins.

Oh that's right, he did have an autograph card in 2024 Bowman! I was only looking at base cards ...

Well, maybe it will happen?

Alas

No reason for Topps to miss that, especially since he's signing in their newest products.

Cards are up on Topps website

Dukefett · 02-19-2025, 03:38 PM

Padres fan and I love Luis Arraez, nice! I was looking to buy a single on eBay, I didn't realize he's been done twice already.

PedroPapi · 02-19-2025, 03:44 PM

I know some people will hate a third Arraez card, but I collect this set as a way to document the history of the game. I like the fact that he's won batting titles on three different teams and now has a card for all of them.

Great post. Exactly how I look at this set.

Yeah, this shouldn't be up for debate...the dude earned it. Sucks that Mookie Betts didn't get a Red Sox card.

Absolutely.

He's the second player (Segura) with artwork by all three artists. Definitely a cool opportunity for comparison.

Love the Ken Griffey Sr inclusion. This weekend I rewatched Tag with my brother and we were laughing how Jon Hamm's character tries to argue that Sr is better than Jr because he won the World Series. Had me thinking that it would be fun to have Sr. included in the set eventually.

CanadaShane · 02-19-2025, 06:10 PM

Griffey SR for the win this week!! Great selection and high quality artwork.

Has anyone received checklist card CL-08 (up to card # 800 yet)?

Got scared when I received my two cards with no checklist. Ordered two on eBay that just showed up in the mail. So someone got them. My order says that card is still processing...

jdandns · 02-23-2025, 02:56 PM

I received the checklist earlier this week in the lone 3-card bundle I ordered from Topps.

I agree. We did have a great run. I guess they all can’t be bangers.

We were spoiled with 3 cards per week. Star / retired , RC , active player.

Seemed to keep the set momentum a bit better week to week. Would love to see Seto rejoin with Jared and Angel. A better priced 3 card bundle and old print price point would be welcomed as well.
