2022 Topps Update

2022 Topps Update:  We might be past the baseball season but we still have some new baseball for some of us in the form of Topps Update.  This one of course is centered around young players and those who have changed teams.  One of the big ones to move in the offseason was Matt Olson.  Olson's batting average wasn't anything to write home about but he did hit 34 dingers and drove in 103 runs.

Always fun seeing players in their new unis.  Corey Seager's average was down this season.  Bryant had a good year but it was very limited due to injuries.  Correa had a good year in his first season with the Twins.

Youngsters play a big part of this set and Julio Rodriguez is the new hotness.  That Brujan is a royal blue parallel which I like.

Cutch hot box?  I'm okay with that as I'm a fan.

I like these manufactured relics.  It's a good look in hand but they are so thick it makes them tough.  you have to find holders and sleeves specifically for this size.

Stars of  MLB to include a Topps Chrome version for Yu Darvish.  That Royce Lewis is a Topps Black Gold.  Not sure what I think of that one yet while I do like the design of the Stars of MLB.

Nice Wander Franco pull.  I also enjoy retired greats and you know I'm a huge fan of All-Star cards.  Though I might not be a big fan of those jerseys.

Generation Now.  Meh.

Here we have a Checklist, 1987 Topps Baseball and Combo card.

These are fun though they don't have quite the star power of the series one cards.  Still it's fun with inserts helping break up the monotony.  We'll end it with a nice pull in Shoei Ohtani.  Now for the MLB offseason.  Let's hope it's not as slow in years past.  By far the worst of all the major sports.
