But in 2016 I bought 5 copies of Topps now card number 1 and sold them in the 2 to 3 hundred dollar range each and they have climbed since so I might be selling my extra set early.

Good luck with the sale! I am loving how they are starting to look together in a binder. Going to stick with it for awhile.

So far the lowest print total for a card is 2,600 I cannot see that many collectors trying to complete this set. There are maybe 20 or 25 dealers that order 20 plus of each card and a few that order 100 plus. Eventually those hit market. And remember it is not Ohtani or Judge or Rhys. That have low numbers it is Nick Markakis I just cannot see 2500 plus complete set collectors. The topps now short prints are under 500 and most of them are tough sells. I might be early and this might run up for a little while but numbers just don't add up.
But they are nice so far good luck to all who gave them a shot.

The cards look great but I can’t see the prices for the SP cards holding up long term. At some point there will be collector fatigue with this set. The set by definition is never ending. They are only a few weeks in and already I’m tired of it. I’m mainly just picking up cards because I think they will look great signed.

Well sold first 21 cards for $900 what I really hope happens is this run brings notice to all the "test" issues that topps has been selling via the internet since 2014. A number of these sold well under 100 copies. Take the test buttons 10 teams and an announced run of 75 sets. I think only the Yankees and red sox sold out. And the 5x7 sets and 11x14 posters all have low print runs. If any of this activity from topps living Carries over then my hope is these issues run up as well.

Nice return for a $105 investment!

I bought the Acuna to go along with my Ohtani. I'm not really interested in the cards unless they're rookie. The Ohtani card is his nicest looking card in my opinion.

I looked at sales and it is clear that a small group of dealers are manipulating the prices of these cards. Example I bought 5 Altuve's on Saturday for 8 bucks apiece. Monday there are sales of 1 Altuve for $199. But there were a number offered under $15. So no "REAL BUYER" would pay $199 for a card they could buy fro. Another seller for $14. Not cool.
