Topps Living Set... Mr Tiger is here!

I made it to the post office box today (Thursday afternoon).and had a few packages waiting for me, and I was very happy to see that the Topps Living Set card of Mr. Tiger himself, the great Detroit Tigers HOFer, Al Kaline, had arrived.

Kaline, card #184, was released on May 15th of this year, and it was a no brainer that I'd purchase the card to add to my TLS collection. 

Seeing that beautiful signature of Al Kaline just never gets old! 

The reason that I'm just getting the card is that instead of going right through Topps, I decided to order two of the cards online, at $5.00 each, instead of paying the $7.99 at Topps.com.

The seller, who I won't mention (he's a good guy), apparently received his cards damaged in delivery from Topps, and as of last week, still hadn't gotten them replaced, so I went ahead and got one one, at $6.79 ( FREE Shipping), just to make sure I have one.


On Ebay right now, the Kaline cards ( UNGRADED) are priced from $4.99 (PLUS Shipping), to $19.99 (FREE Shipping).

Of course, there are also Kaline cards up for bidding, including cards of Mr. Tiger that are GRADED, but I'm a collector who prefers the card as is, an so I looked for the best price w/ the FREE Shipping. 

When I get the other two cards of Kaline one of them will go into my TLS HOF pages, another one will go in my separate TLS page with just Tigers cards, and the third one, well, I may just give it away, who knows.

I also got a couple other cards in the mail, which I'll share in upcoming posts, and I'm expecting two more Topps Living Set cards to arrive by the weekend.


Thanks for reading this post, and, until next time, PLAY BALL! 🐯⚾️
