Random Wax: 2023 Topps Baseball

 2023 Topps: Mookie Betts recently won his third World Series ring.  He was also an All-Star and Silver Slugger winner as a super utility guy for the Dodgers.
The rest of my pull from this pack wasn't quite as exciting but it doesn't dampen my enthusiasm.  I do like this design.  Topps did a great job with the photos, logos and colors.
AJ Minter looking like a left-handed Craig Kimbrel with that stance and stare.
Cal Raleigh had 34 home runs in 2024 while Brady Singer won 9 games for Kansas City and posted a 3.71 ERA.  He was also recently traded to the Reds.

The Team Cards are good.  Topps does well giving us fun photos.

Checklist.  Again, a good job giving us a good photo.  Even if they are Mets.
The back of the Cubs Team Card.  Those team leaders have to have the actual numbers, right?  Why would Topps leave those off?  Otherwise I like these.
Fun cards.  That Stassi photo is a keeper.  Hopefully the offseason heats up with the winter meetings next week.

  1. Hey look, a Look-in card. I like those but the horizontal ones (too many Kimbrel cards to count) make me a little claustrophobic.

    1. There are so many of those Kimbrel cards. I'm a fan of his but still....

    1. Great photo. The defense, the ball midair and the glasses. I'm in.
