Random Wax: 2022 Topps Hanger Box

2022 Topps:  The Blue Jays poor season overshadowed another great season by Vlad Guerrero Jr.
2022 Topps gives us a simple design that I liked.  Pretty clean with good design elements.  Salvador Perez also had a really good year and is probably on his way to the Hall of Fame once his playing days are done.
Lars Nootbar is the standout of these youngsters.
Great looking team card.
More youngsters and my Royal Blue Parallel.  McClanahan developed into a really good starter while Clase was a shutdown closer last year.  Fun looking back and seeing how the young players turned out.
My 1987 Topps Baseball 35th Anniversary and Welcome to the Show inserts.  I like the '87 design and Welcome to the Show is growing on me.
Bichette struggled mightily last season.  I like him and hope he can figure it out in 2025.
Folks seem to like these Stars of MLB and I enjoyed the 2022 versions as well.  Purchased this hanger two years ago but finally getting it up on the blog.
A nice Ohtani appearance on my Rainbow Foil Parallel.
Fun box of cards and lots of star power.  Soto is no longer a National...or Padre...or Yankeee...after signing with the Mets.

  1. Yeah, it's a solid design.
    Judge wins it.

  2. Wow. Olson with the A's. Scherzer with the Dodgers. Ohtani with the Angels. And Soto with the Nationals. 2022 seems so far away.

  3. I have decided to try to put together the complete 90 card run of the 2022 Stars of MLB after I got close to a 1/3 of them in a box of cards I picked up last summer. I have all but one of the SMLB from 2023 and the entire run from 2024. I am also planning to collect the 2025 ones.

  5. Good stuff. Seemed light on the inserts but I would have been pleased with it.
