2023 Topps: Mike Trout isn't having a typical Mike Trout year but he has been fairly healthy, knock on wood, and still has his power.
I've posted plenty of packs and blasters of this set, but I really do like the design. The head shot, colorful team logo, and position look great all the while leaving plenty of room for a nice photo.
Plenty of youngsters. Pasquantino is having another good season for KC.
Checklist cards are fun.
A couple Stars of MLB inserts as well as a Holo Foil Parallel.
We do need numbers on the fronts of these League Leader cards but otherwise I like them.
We get a Nolan Gorman 1988 Topps card. Needs a logo but otherwise okay.
I like the Team Cards.
Excellent photo on this horizontal Josh Donaldson card.
Fun cards and more great photos. Won't be the last of them you'll see on the blog.

Any day you pull a Mike Trout card is a good day. He may not be having a typical Trout season, but he is closing in on 400 career home runs and I think he is still a sure fire Hall of Famer.
ReplyDeleteHard to think he wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I'm a big fan and always look forward to pulling his cards.
ReplyDeleteStill have trouble picturing Donaldson in pinstripes. As for this design... I like the fact that Topps went the extra mile to utilize both a portrait and action shot on each base card.
ReplyDeleteYeah the Batting Average is kinda low but I think I'll take it as opposed to .300 hitting, done after 75 games Mike Trout.
