With Topps set to release card #500 of its MLB Living Set this week, we thought we would take a crack of who could be considered for that noteworthy card.
Since the print-to-order set debuted in 2017, its dedicated collectors have been wondering when they will see Lou Gehrig. After all, Babe Ruth was card #100 way back in October 2018. Where is his Murderers’ Row teammate? Topps presumably has a licensing deal for Gehrig as he has appeared in several recent sets.
Could he be card #500?
Or will it be someone else?
Here are just a few other names that have not yet appeared in the Living Set, but could be considered for #500:
- Josh Gibson
- Joe DiMaggio
- Sandy Koufax
- Satchel Paige
- Walter Johnson
- Mike Schmidt
- Tom Seaver
- Cy Young
- Warren Spahn
- Christy Mathewson
- Oscar Charleston
- Frank Robinson
- Mel Ott
- Reggie Jackson
- Steve Carlton
Again, just a partial list, but several names to speculate on who will be tagged as card #500.
