Topps Living Set

[joejoemay]

Like your break down BH34...and you’re most likely spot on. I predict a slowdown overall but all seem well.

I decided to put my early week sets I was keeping raw set into a PSA bulk sub and will probably move those once I get them back. Maybe hang onto the big four for a little while longer if they come back as 10s like I hope. I still have my #1-21 PSA 10s, so I will still have 1 complete set.

I'm not giving up, but I will do an evaluation once we get to 100 to see if I want to continue.

I’m with you on this. I will re-evaluate after 100. I like the anticipation of what the next 3 cards will be week to week. Plus it’s fun to get mail and continue to work on the completed set.

I’m planning to collect the first 100, and stop after that. It sounds like a few more people are having similar thoughts. I fully expect Topps to make card #101 Babe Ruth or Mike Trout. Haha.

You’re right about the anticipation of the weekly 3 card reveal. I highly look forward to it and always check the site (even if I’m out traveling for work) right when they go live.

[BH34]

I'd like to think I'll collect forever, but I probably won't.
I'm going to try to own the "Seto set" though.

I think a definite point of reevaluating will come when the new artist takes over, however long into the future that may be; that will be a huge turning point for it, when the set enters a new era.

If the next artist is just as good or better, I may continue, or maybe I'll stop at that point either way.
Hopefully I won't have to make that decision anytime soon.

I've already stopped (buying in bulk) and selling quite a few weeks ago except for Phillies. Down to just my one set this coming week....Some cards are nice some I just don't like...If I miss any I can't imagine they will be crazy difficult to pick up as long as the numbers stay strong.
I do like the seeing who comes out weekly but as a Now guy I get that every day and that is my set (though I get it is not for every one as sets go)...this is a great collectors set and I like the old and new players and I am glad they are avoiding the "Scrubs" a little more...the set will suffer if it doesn't have at least a big name rookie and GOOD to GREAT player (VS Scrub) each week because people like me will get bored.
Good thing for us there are many products on line now...I'm actually digging on the new On-Demand set "packs" this week....I mean 3D Sport Flicks Cards? What is not to like about that????

I just got my two signed Nesheks back, #'s 31 & 32. They look great but he signed them sideways. Would have preferred them signed horizontally but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

Has anyone else noticed a few sellers with feedback between 0-15 selling psa 10 cards? Just waiting for the feedback on these sales.

Are you still waiting on replacements for some of the early cards? If so... are they printing those on the new stock or still using the older stock. I believe the Soto week (15) started the new stock.

I am wondering the same thing, I am still waiting on various replacement cards. I spoke to Topps customer service on Friday and was told the printer is still working on printing replacements and it can take up to 6 weeks. It would make sense to use the new card stock and hopefully be done with damaged cards, but then we would have variations. I am curious to see how they handle this situation.

[TwinsJake]

I have no idea. I really don't ask a lot of detailed questions. I can only begin to imagine how busy Jeeves is so if I can avoid it I don't message. But like Wally said, it would make sense to be done with it. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

People are now selling Neshek’s signed cards. I am just shaking my head. People please. He is nice enough to do that for free and he is a collector like us. I think that is sh@tty.

You should call out the other sellers of 25,000 items of in person autographs listed on eBay while you’re at it. I see no difference.

Just saw 2 on eBay signed sideways, not sure why he’s doing that, it bothers me as well! Just got Nesheks in today, I may ask nicely if he’ll sign them normally LOL

I don't care for that. I give my blessing on using them to trade tho.

I don't mind the sideways signature at all. I believe someone asked him on twitter how he was going to sign them and that's what he came up with. Looks good to me.

[poppincurbs]

The first one he signed was normal horizontal. Obviously he can do whatever he wants and I’m thankful he takes the time to sign TTM, just looks weird IMHO.

But yeah people selling freebies is pretty lame, but not surprising and it’ll never stop.

[byronscott4ever]

I think it would be cool if he did IP ones differently than TTM.

That actually would be really cool! Someone should ask him if there’s any particular reason behind the sideways placement on Twitter. The first one he signed was IP I believe, and signed horizontally.

If you don’t get it, I’m not going to explain it.

3 more slots available in the fantasy football league, if anyone is interested.
Mr. Neshek, if you are reading this, you are also welcome to join - we would be honored if you wanted to participate in our league!

Well... I guess the PSA 10 Pollock is finally getting some attention. It's the leader in the clubhouse for cards with atleast 50 graded. Only 24 PSA 10s... 26 Markakis.

56 Total graded... 24 10s... 30 9s and 2 8s

Another tough grade
