2022 Topps Series 2 Blaster with Relic

2022 Topps Series 2:  Series 2 can always a bit of a hit and miss but I enjoyed this box.  It helps when you grab some big stars and there is some good variety.  I really like these 1987 All-Star inserts and I really like this Ohtani photo.  And who doesn't like Ohtani?

Frankie Montas is having a good year for the A's and is expected to get Oakland a nice return at the trade deadline.  After battling injuries Carlos Correa is having a really good year and Josh Hader is doing great for the Brew Crew this season.

As always there are going to be plenty of young players in these boxes.  I will say it seems like Alec Bohm has been a RC or Future Stars guy for a long time.

Some inserts we saw in series one but they still help with the variety in this set.  I think I'll try the Home Run Challenge for the first time.  Vlad's hitting homers at a good clip so why not.

I think this is a good-looking relic but it is like an inch thick.  Not really but no way I have a holder for this thing.

I'm a fan of the Stars of MLB inserts and these are two good stars to pull.  That Burnes is a Chrome parallel.

A team card.  Always fun photos and good info on the backs.

Royal Blue, Gold #/2099, and Rainbow Foil parallels.

Checklist card.

All three of these guys are having good years.  You'd think that means Danny Duffy will be traded.  He is now 32 and now played all 11 seasons with the Royals.

Devers is having a monster year.  Fun box of cards.  I doubt I'll grab anymore Series 2 but still this was a good box.
