Topps Now - Topps Living Set

[richardcards]

The way it set up by topps with the pre order and giving discounts for bulk sales leaves the regular joe that just
Wants one card for hobby wide open to the vultures to take advantage of regular collector guy.

I still can't believe this seller is willing to go to all this trouble and alienate buyers for $3.

But there are no shortage of these cards. They are printed in the exact quantity that people order them and anyone can order them for 3 days. So if you don't want to pay more for the cards why don't you order them and pay retail?

I did buy from topps bundle for three weeks
This time i only want one card and found on ebay
For $4.90 after paying for card seller raised the priced
And demanded more money. Not nice experience
Guess I picked a greedy seller.

And somehow the greedy seller is Topps fault?

I joined this site recently because I'm putting together a 1952 Bowman set and I love looking at vintage cards, but I ventured into the Modern forum and I saw THIS thread a couple weeks ago. I had never heard of the Topps Living Set.

When I saw how nice the cards were, on impulse I bough the current set at that time (the Acuna set...haven't received it, how long does that take?).

Watching this unfold is fascinating. Is this an opportunity to invest early on what might become a historically significant set? Or is this just a fad?

I think the beauty of the cards and the VERY interesting plan of only having one card per player (per team) certainly makes it unique.

I couldn't help myself when I saw the Week 4 set pop up on Ebay today with a Buy It Now price of $37.50. I'm a Royals fan, so I really wanted the Alex Gordon, and while I have no love for the Yankees, the investor part of me recognizes that this will be Jeter's ONLY card in this set. I could see myself recouping my $37.50 pretty easily by off loading the Jeter in the future if this set gets really popular (or the Jean Segura which looks like it had a pretty low print run).

Pretty cool idea by Topps. I wonder how many collectors out there are chasing every card, and I wonder how long Topps will keep this up? My guess is that they'll switch designs every year, but keep the numbering in order?
