He is.

Second lowest is Billy Wagner at 1,450. In fact, there are 24 Hall of Famers with a print run below 2,000.

If anyone from Topps reads this and cares... please bring prints back... limit them, double the price I don't care. They are print on demand, I am sure you have a contractual issue with who was printing them, but please give us an option to grab them again.

I second that !

Fanatics can right one of their many wrongs by bringing prints back

I'd like to suggest that if you reach out to Topps for any reason by phone or Email or chat...whatever...make sure to mention that you'd like the Living Fine Art Prints brought back in some fashion. It just needs to be heard from every direction to stand a chance of having them return.

Topps made $9500 from my print purchases alone last year. Seems like there's a way to make the prints justifiable, especially if Topps would include some chase elements in them. The print-on-demand items seem like a safe/low-risk money maker.

At least they confirmed they haven't ruled out completely the resurrection of the prints at some future date. That's something to hope for.

"made" is maybe not the best verb unless you know something we don't ... grossed, sure

Look I get it, there's no way these prints are viable money wise. After printing and assembling bizarre orders, it's a %&#%ing nightmare and then I'm sure shipping is MINIMUM $10 per order.

So, Jared, if you have any channel of communication with them, what you do is at the calendar start of the year you have them do a two week "PRESALE" of last year's prints that ship in February and shipping is no longer free on any order with even one print in it.

Okay so what will happen? The collectors will buy their prints, you'll get your prints. Topps will raise the profit margins on the products and they can print all the prints in January and be done with it for the rest of the year after they ship. Tell them we need this for NBA as well while you're at it.

It gives them time to double check all the licensing on the players and teams as well.

Thank you for the correction..."gross" revenue is a significant distinction.

I love the printapalooza idea. It would also give Topps a year to prepare any player signed prints or other chase parallel prints they may want to add to the mix as random hits. And removing the free shipping makes it even better, from Topps' POV.

The brainstorming in this group is very valuable!

I miss the gray and green underbills on MLB hats. The black is too dark.
