Kauffman Stadium is about 7 miles away. The NLBM is downtown, while Kauffman is somewhat isolated at the intersection of two highways as you approach the eastern suburbs of the city.

I like the idea of Cy as 511.

That's great, thank you.

I'll add Kauffman to the bucket list and try and hit them both at the same time.

I had the exact same thought as you. Young @511 would be cool for all us baseball history lovers!

Wow, I was way off with seeing the initial Topps number. They really shouldn't do that.
Congrats to the winner

I second the "Congrats", TheBirdman321. Can't wait to drop your signed card in the mail once I receive them from Topps.

The print run was a huge shock. I'm very humbled and grateful. What a cool job I have. Now.....let's hurry up and see who #500 is, please!!!

I bought a 20 pack of the wander. Gunna sit on them for now. Worst case scenario they are $10 a card even if he’s a star.

That's how I felt. I bought a 5-pack, the only time I've ever purchased more than one Living Set card of any player.

Your prediction or inside info?

(If the former, you might pick a different player; someone else already guessed McCovey.)
