Topps Now - Topps Living Set

[bigfanNY]

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.

I thought ebay had a policy against "pre-sales" of an item. Is this no longer in effect ???? I see many dealers pre-selling the Living Topps Sets each week ? Acuna print run was 46,809 cards !!!

The luster is already off, but apparently buyers aren't getting the message(lol). There are cards at auction with bids higher than the current BIN's on several of the cards.

It will be neat to stay with it and in 10 years the set will be at 1500 cards and growing.

Ichiro is in this week's Living set and the name on the card is "Ichiro Suzuki." He's been listed on Topps cards as simply "Ichiro" for years and now all the sudden he has a surname? So disappointing. He's Ichiro.

Perhaps Sportscasters subscribers thought the same thing too?
