2025 Topps Baseball Series 2

2025 Series 2:  Bryan Reynolds and Pittsburgh are struggling this season, but Reynolds has consistently produced solid numbers for the Pirates in his seven seasons.

As is expected with Series 2, we see some players in the unis of their new teams, like these three, while getting the same flagship design.

Plenty of young players as well with RC and Future Stars offerings.

Fun photos.

Inserts including Stars of MLB showcasing two rookies and a Summer Superstars.  Jackson Chourio is having another solid season with the Brew Crew.

We get Lucas Giolito on a Holo Foil Parallel.  Fun pack even if it doesn't have many of the stars we hope for in a pack of cards.

Love seeing stats like these on the back of the Mark McGwire Topps 1990 All-Star card. Does the stat year (1987) match the design (1990)?  No.  Still a great looking card but Wade Boggs was second in slugging?  Yep.  He hit 24 home runs in his monster 1987 season where he hit a career high 24 home runs, and led the league in WAR, batting average, on base percentage and OPS.

2024 Topps Series 2 Hanger Box

2021 Topps Series 2:  Series 2 is out and as always I'll take a gander.  It's a design I like which helps this year.  Like much of the Braves' lineup Ozzie Albies is struggling some this year but he'll be key to any offensive turnaround with Ronald Acuna Jr. out for the season.

Pretty good pull in this hanger box.  No complaints from me.

Plenty of youngsters.  Winn is having a great year for the Cardinals hitting around .300 this season.

The checklist cards are fun.

Like some others I'm getting a bit tired with these.  Not enough change year to year in the design for me.  I liked them initially.  I do like the Arozarena photo.

Team cards are fun as well.

I like the 1989 All-Star cards even if they aren't my favorite design.  Very happy with my Jackson pull.

Good catcher photo.

We get to see faces in new places and unis.

I'm not feeling the design of Covering the Field inserts.  

Really enjoy seeing Jason Heyward on cardboard.  He was a fan favorite with the Braves who traded him in his contract season to the Cards.  He signed a big deal with the Cubs but never lived up to it though he helped Chicago win their first World Series in forever.
