Here is my up to date Living Set, I must say the 1953 80th Anniversary Card compliments the set just perfectly

The last 2 weeks are still in the mail from Topps
All cards are in near mint condition(I have been picky ) and in brand new one touches & bags.
I have 2 sets on going and have been ordering 6 sets per week

Very nice! I agree...The 1953 80th Anniversary card looks fantastic with this set.

Well this is interesting.

Why does the back of the Lindor card in the pic look different...not the cardboard type of stock???

Made a site update with the new cards, I guess I will have another one when Topps posts PR's (may do this with Pricing update over the weekend)

Did some of you receive the Brian Anderson card already? (from Ted Williams week)
If so, how did the centering look on your cards?

I just got mine yesterday, and was quite disappointed.
I rarely ask Topps for replacement on centering issues (last time I did was back in 2016 with a TBT set), but thinking I'm justified asking replacement on these...

yanman · 08-02-2018, 09:05 AM

Print Runs are up from last week.

Stanton - 7,626
Peralta - 4,915
Neshek - 12,736

Now the question is, how many did Pat buy himself?

I think mine were OC too. Not sure if Topps replaces those though.

Dang...It looks like those 18 cards individually sell in the $1080 range.

It appears the buyer of that set got a 34% discount. If he turns around and sells them individually today, he could make a 50% return on investment.

Going forward, I wonder how many people will sell in big lots like this? Might be a good short-term investment when they appear.

I'd bet 100- can always ask him! (I did go pretty deep on Pat- I have met him a few times, and once you do you usually root for him! Fairly positive that may be the case here, with others who did the same!)

Gotta admit, I’ve had that same thought.

Just image if a handful grade PSA 10...

That went for a bargain imo.

Simply selling them raw at today's prices is a positive 50% return on investment. I agree, getting a PSA 10 or two out of the group is even better.

I'll be paying more attention to the larger lots for sale from now on.

New record? Topps put the new cards out and its 12:30PM. They don’t even let you get last weeks cards.

Centering on most of their cards is bad and I have a feeling they'll tell you to fly a kite on that card. I don't understand why they care so little about the product they put out. It seems to me if they cared a little more, they'd make more money from fewer returns and increased buying. But what do I know, I'm just some guy on the internet.

Yeah I know, and I haven't complained till now about centering, because while they were bad, it wasn't this bad...
I'll see what they say.
Brian Anderson is my PC, so having 20 of these OC cards is really upsetting for me.

I don’t think they will replace for centering. My group of Williams and the other 2 were terrible. A lot of chipping on the corners. It’s the first week in about three weeks that I received cards like this. It feels like week 1-15 all over again.

TwinsJake · 08-02-2018, 12:38 PM

Centering won't bring down the card enough in most cases. I think out of however many cards I've needed replaced I've pegged about 10-12 for centering. I used to keep an example handy until I deleted it but it's worse than the Anderson above. But if the centering is bad with even one other slight defection I will toss it. There better not even be a hint of a white spec on the nameplate.

This set will be one for the books some day: the concept that so many loved and the execution problems that turned them against the cards.

I'll be curious when the PRs really start to reflect the people giving up. I think we've already seen the weekly buyers of multiples drop off.

An OC qualifier is 2 pts with PSA; only way cards OC like this get an 8 is if they’re a 10 not considering centering (so yea, pretty big hit grading-wise)

#58 - Giancarlo Stanton - Print Run: 7626
#59 - Freddy Peralta - Print Run: 4915
#60 - Pat Neshek - Print Run: 12736

---

Does that mean Neshek potentially purchased 5k+ of his own card?
Otherwise, that's significant hobby/ttm love..
