Random Wax: 2024 Topps Baseball

2024 Topps:  The Kid was an amazing player and has his own insert set, Celebration of the Kid, in 2024 Topps.  I like this set, and he makes this 1989 design look good.

Jacob DeGrom is finally healthy but it's too little too late for the Rangers.

I really like this card.  The photo, design, colors and that cap really work for me.

Mariners Team Card.

RC representation.  Gavin Williams has a 4.12 ERA across 29 starts while the others are still working to make a mark in the majors.

Backs of the Team Cards are good but the lack of totals in the Team Leaders section is a head scratcher.

With 20'ish games left it's that time of the year where we talk playoffs.  The Braves have struggled of late and let the surging Mets takeover the final NL Wild Card spot.  Plenty of baseball to play but I'm still worried Atlanta could be on the outside looking in come October.

Love League Leader cards.  Not only because a couple of Braves highlight the card.  Also hurts to see as that offense isn't there this season in Atlanta.

I always think I'll do those Home Run Challenge but I don't do it.  Enjoy seeing retired greats in the set but I do think seeing more of them would be better.  Nice stars of MLB Goldy insert.

No complaints here.

Fun cards and I do like this year's design.  Looking forward to the stretch run in baseball.  Good luck to your team...unless you're Met's fan.
