Is "this past week" the Sandberg week? Or the Rizzo week?

If Sandberg: I ordered Sandberg set on 8/15, and got the shipping notice yesterday. Plus I ordered some custom cards. If you still don't get a shipping notice about Sandberg in the next day or two, you're probably still okay, but yea, you should/can give topps a call to check.

If Rizzo, the cards are still live (current). Though topps has shipped 'current' cards before the window closes, I'd say so far that has been the exception, not the norm.

I'd like to see a Met this week (and every week, for that matter)

Brandon Nimmo
Dominic Smith (RC)
Thomas Nido (RC)

maybe deGrom?

Yeah I'm referring to Rizzo week. Sandberg week I already have in hand got those on Saturday.

I think we will see a Victor Martinez card soon since this will be his last season.

Looks like Bo Jackson, Jake Arrieta, and Dereck Rodriguez.

ToppsNowFan · 08-22-2018, 01:38 PM

Bo knows the living set!

That’s the first time I’ve seen them overlap sales of the previous week’s cards with the new week’s. Same thing on the Topps Now page with yesterday’s/today’s cards. Is that new or I’ve just not noticed it before?

It’s happened a few times now.

I don't know who Dereck Rodriguez is, but I really like Seto's painting of him --
the cards with a "multi-dimensional" backgrounds are so much nicer than the plain-blue-sky (or 'bokeh') backgrounds, especially when it complements the team colors.

ThoseBackPages · 08-22-2018, 01:55 PM

its like they dont even care anymore

three weeks in a row of "easy pass"

Even with Bo?

I wish she would have done a black and white card, with the football pads..

HOFer Ivan 'Pudge' Rodriquez's kid...

epatmythes · 08-22-2018, 01:59 PM

Hmm... Bo... not a hall of famer, barely even an MLB legend

A legend in many respects though with a huge following

Does it crack 10K???

Rookie starter for the Giants, probably will finish 5th in the ROY voting behind Soto, Acuna, Muncy, and Flaherty.

Solid week IMO, and the artwork on all 3 is beautiful.

He is the son of Ivan Rodriguez

Doubt it, may be some low numbers for all 3.

New to collecting (hadn't thought about cards since I was like 12), but got back into it earlier this year when I fell down a rabbit hole of researching various cards and seeing how cool some stuff is. I got frustrated when I couldn't find a certain Jake Arrieta card (huge Cubs fan!), which sent me scouring the internet to find the card. A couple weeks later, it popped on ebay and I bought it—first card purchase in my adult life.

Recently, found out about the Living Set and thought it was super cool, so I've gotten some cards off of the bay, which has been really fun.

All that to say (sorry for the life story), I'm stoked to see Arrieta is one of the cards this week! Easy purchase decision

Makes that Rizzo sting more.

(Being serious, her artwork is fantastic, which is why that Rizzo stood out.)

Gamecock · 08-22-2018, 02:09 PM

Arieta in the Phillies uniform just doesn't feel right.

I don't know... Ted, Hank & Jackie all easily passed 10K. Bo the baseball player ain't on their level... but hobby-wise, he's right up there with them in terms of today's collectibility.

I also can't believe they'd put him in the set if they didn't expect him to sell exceptionally well.

RaysUp · 08-22-2018, 02:11 PM

Two errors on the back of Bo's card. He is a career .250 hitter not .279 and "their" is spelled as "thier" in the trivia section. Didn't check other two cards.
