Topps Baseball Living Set First 300 Stats

The checklist for Topps Baseball Living Set has finally reached the 300 mark and as we did for the first two centennials (Living Set first 100, Living Set first 200), it is time to take a look at the sales stats for the set thus far.

The total print run for the first 300 cards has now reached 1,423,717 total cards. Print runs have increased at a much slower pace thanks to Topps shifting from a three card weekly release to only two cards a week.

Card #297 (Luis Robert, RC) was the best selling card since #200 with a print run of 8,539 which ranks 25th on the overall list.

The average print run per card is 4,745 cards. The total of rookie cards increased from 54 to 83 and only two teams represented on this checklist are without rookie cards; the Expos, obviously, and the Texas Rangers. The Braves and Padres are tied for most rookie cards with six cards each.

The Angels have an average print run of 8,282 which ranks first among all the teams. The Braves previously held this record with an average run of 11,209 but they have dropped to third on the list with a new average print run of 7,633.
