Isn't Moisés Ballesteros a rookie? No rookie logo on the card shown.

That was my initial thought, and while his rookie status is still intact through the 2026 season, he received rookie cards last season.

Good point but the 2026 season has not started, almost 2 months away, so I see this as still 2025 post season/off season. But if he still has rookie status he should have a rookie logo on this card, IMHO.

MLB Topps Living Set cards new year always starts on January 1st, been like that since 2019.

Looks like today is the day Topps will definitely send me the 1/1 Cooper card

He has to be the youngest player without the rookie shield on the card and will probably have that position for quite a while.

Another note on the Matthews card, in the bio text, JULY is all capital letters, compared to the standard July.

Great news: PSA now authenticates my signature!!!! In years past, PSA would refuse to authenticate my autograph for Living Set collectors who like to get their collection slabbed. PSA would never give a reason why. Admittedly, this change by PSA only occurred once a collector submitted one of my artist-signed cards that ALSO featured the player autograph, but nonetheless, this opens to the door and is a reference point to all future submissions as proof that PSA has now authenticated my signature.

By the way, a collector who is perhaps the no.1 BGA submitter has confirmed to me that BGA will authenticate and grade my artist-signed cards as well.
