Living Set Kris Bryant

Here's a look at my first card with a 2019 copyright...


.... Kris Bryant's card from the Living Set.

He is the seventh Cub to be included.

Here's the other Cubs and their print run:

#5 Ian Happ -  Print run - 3,042
#30 Brandon Morrow -  Print run - 5,585
#64 Ryne Sandberg - Print run - 7,212
#67 Anthony Rizzo -  Print run - 5,568
#83 David Bote -  Print run - 5,345
#103 Javier Baez -  Print run - 4,499
#127 Kris Bryant -  Print run - 5,361

Sandberg's card is, by far, the most popular Cubs card.  Bryant just barely beat out David Bote.  I think if Bryant's card was sold during the season it would have generated more interest.

  1. How/why is Brandon Morrow the second most produced card? Weird.

    1. That's what I was thinking. Maybe people thought nobody would buy him and he'd be a lower print run.

    2. When the Morrow was released, the print runs were running high. Like the first couple of cards in the 2016 Topps Now set, demand was initially low. The Ian Happ is the second lowest card in the whole set right now and runs triple digits, even ungraded. People overcorrected and you have guys like Morrow with high print runs.
