Topps Living Set ( 3 cards per week @ $15) At $5 / card after one year you will have a set of 150 cards for $ 750. Will it be worth it ? Any opinions ?

I did that quick math and realized the answer is "no" which means if you have $750 to plunk down each year on randoms, then you will be one of like 10 OCD people in the world with enough cash to have a set, if you go for it.

It will be worth $500k in 25 years because of that.

Default Topps Living Set

Thank you all for the input. I had ordered three of the first set , one too keep in my PC and the other two for speculation. I figured with the Judge card alone it should hopefully make up for the cost in a couple of years, if he keeps up his pace and as newer collectors discover the set. I only ordered one of the second set, mainly for the Rhys Hoskins card. I will most likely only order future sets based on the player selection... Looking on ebay there doesn't appear like there is going to be a shortage of the first set of cards as some sellers have 100+ available. But down the road a bit some lesser players may be in demand as their playing improves and dealers drop off buying 100+ sets with no big names in them. Just my 2 cents... only time will tell.

It seems like a great idea for Topps.

Will “All Things Topps” Al chime in?

If you want a set to keep for yourself it would probably be best to order 3 sets each week and sell off the other 2 and that would make collecting the set affordable. Maybe ???

I think a living set should involve cards that when you spit on them a 3d image of the player grows out of it
