I agree wholeheartedly. Expos deserve a card in this series, and to have Vladdy Daddy on it would be ideal. He played in Montreal as long as he did with his other 3 teams combined. The Angels may get the bust, but give the Expos the card!

For me, it's:
Carter on Mets (WS Champion) Dawson on Cubs (MVP) Rock Raines and Guerrero as Expos, any order. I wouldn't mind Vlad as an Angel, but there's too many other Cal/Anaheim/LAA players I want to see first.

Well hell... if they are going to be putting scrubs in this set like Eric Sogard then maybe we will be seeing Delino Deshields and Marquis Grissom as well. Tim Wallach (5-time all-star) may be a good choice as well.

boy am I glad topps picked Mayumi to do the art in this set... just saw a few cards from the upcoming Museum and it made me think if I would buy Living if some of these artists did the art...
Those eyes kinda scare me... This isn't bad... but no even close to Mayumi.. This one is close... |

There is nothing wrong with people ordering heavy on rookies like Soto but when people buy 500 or 1000 thinking they'll make out like bandits, well that's a problem!!! Your best case is what, $8 for Soto after release? And can you sell enough to justify buying 500 or 1000???

It's a beautiful card. I've said it before, at $3.75 each, we can make some young baseball players happy by giving them out at the end of this year's youth baseball season.
I just hope they arrive in time. |

Gleyber PR was 28.6k Gleyber was red-hot when his LS card came out. The PR will be high, but I think Soto will be much closer to Gleyber, not Acuna. Unless I'm simply underestimating Soto's popularity..? As of today, I'll guess 25.5k for Soto's PR -- anything between 21k and 28k would still make him the third highest PR in the set.

The ramblings of a low level player...
20 Gleybers bought at $4 shipped
Gleyber raw selling near $10 currently 20 Gleybers sent to PSA service at $12 each ? Gleyber PSA 10s at $30 each someday (min speculating) ? Gleyber PSA 9s at $15 each someday (min speculating) Investment = $320 If you grade 20 Gleybers and get 10 10s and 10 9s = $450 ? If 10s go for $50 you move up to $650 approx. ? If 10s go for $100 you move up to $1150 approx. ? $320 in the bank 1 year savings acct at 2% = $326.40 He may be Rookie of the Year and an All-Star for many years. He might break his leg tomorrow and never play again. Things happen, see the Jose Fernandez and Oscar Taveras stories. Too much free time now that school’s out. Vinny PS: I think Andujar may be better overall through time |

Yep.
From an investment point of view...A 33% gain in value nearly instantly. From a hobby point of view...Probably cheaper than buying the team ice cream or throwing a pizza party at the end of the season. This is so much more of a hobby for me than a business. I love collecting, and to me, that's what the Living Set is all about. |

So as most of you may gather I am not as high on this product as I am Now...the print runs seem crazy high to me and some of the art seems too cartoon like to me. This hasn't kept me from buying though as some of the cards are amazing and the entire concept is quite fun. Still I didn't like flipping them with so many damaged cards so I held many and have been sorting and sending back many since day one. Anyway, I will be putting up some lots of nice cards (meaning nicely centered, with few to zero flaws as near as I can tell. So if you are looking for what I consider a gradable card of your favorite Living card, check out the lots I am putting up...feedback is appreciated if you all think this is a silly way to sell these...but as the auction says I pick my one out of 20, toss the crap ones back to Topps (about 50%) and will auction off the rest.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-CHARLIE-...QAAOSwC6xbMStx https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rafael-Deve...oAAOSwjUxbMTHP https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-ALBERT-P...cAAOSwlglbMT~E I like the first photo on the Pujols auction...was just focusing on it and was that looks like a nice photo. What I am really looking for is feedback...in I would never bid on an auction like this etc...

Was going to add the Henderson's and a few other lots but I find very few to put up as 90% to 100% are being returned or in the process already.
