If I remember correctly this is the second year in a row the Living Set kicks off the RC shields with a Yankees player? I believe Ben Rice got 2025 started?

I just dropped a new small batch of artist-signed cards: Andy Pettitte and Carlos Beltran.

Remember, my new policy is to make the new artist-signed cards available on my site for 1-2 weeks. After that, any remaining inventory will be marked up and moved to my eBay store.

Here's a look at the full art for my Vince Van Go portrait:

I know. Baseball cards with no checklist, it’s unseemly and hard to fathom don’t you think?

Hey Living Set fam -

I'm excited to announce that I've started making custom 1/1 Living Set art cards. It's a project I've been wanting to do ever since I started on the Living Set. I am finally pulling the trigger on it.

Each art card is 100% hand-painted by me. Some will feature images of the player that mirror closely the original image on the card Topps released, but others will feature completely new portraits of the player. There are so many awesome images of many of the players I've been assigned on the Living Set, which I wished Topps had used. These art cards give me a chance to showcase those better images of players.

The cards are 1/1 custom creations, but I've also serialized them so you know their order of creation over the coming years. Lou Gehrig is my first official Living Set art card (LS-AC 01)

The cards come with my standard Certificate of Authenticity plus additional signed documentation showing the progression steps for each Art Card.

SELLING FORMAT:
I've chosen to do a Dutch Auction for these. For one week (Sunday - Sunday) these cards will be live on my site. Everyday at noon, I will drop the sale price by $100. If a card has not sold at the end of the week, I will move it to my eBay store with a fixed price.

These look really cool in-hand. I can't ever seem to photograph them to accurately display their appearance. Trust me, the pics never do these art cards justice.

Gehrig and Aaron are my first two art cards and they are live on my site now. I hope you enjoy.

I just dropped a new batch of artist-signed cards to the shop. This newest release features Kent Tekulve, Yanier Diaz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Cade Horton.



*After I packed all the Diaz cards, I noticed the pack labels erroneously shows 2024 when it should be 2023. Whoopsies. What do you expect -- my quality control chief is a toddler.

Yainer's first name is spelled wrong on the packaging, too. Get that toddler a spell check program! Haha.

NOOOOOO! Good grief

At this point, I'm not even positive Diaz will be in the packs when opened.
