Living Set Ron Santo

July was the best month ever, as the Living Set had three different Cubs cards.  In fact the three in one month matches the three Cubs total from each of the years 2020 - 2022.

The print run for Santo's card was a bit disappointing, at just 1,917.  

The photo that was used as the basis of the artist's work was one that Topps has used before.  That too is disappointing.  

 

But I guess I shouldn't complain and just be happy that he was included in the set and that there have been three Cubs in a pretty short time-span.

Now, when will Topps include Billy Williams in the set?

  1. I've added Ron to my Living Set collection as well, such a classic looking card.
    I'd love a Don Kessinger card, my favorite Cubs olayer.
