Random Wax: 2021 Topps WWE Women's Division Hobby Box Take 2

2021 Women's Division:  This '21 hobby box didn't release until 2022 but it was still fun and I pulled an autograph of my favorite wrestler, today - Alexa Bliss.  Huge win!  Click the link at the beginning to see it.  This is a great Asuka card.
The object of this post is to just share more cards from the hobby box that didn't make it into the first post.  There are so many good cards it's hard to do just one post.  I like Charlotte Flair and this is a cool card.
They did a really good job on this set.  Simple but nice design and plenty of room to show off the stars of the cards.
I seem to do pretty good with my Women's Divsion hobby boxes over the years with the 2020 hobby box being my best with a Sasha auto and printing plate.  Both sold really quick.  
Roster cards are okay in terms of design but we still get good photos of the ladies.
I'm not the biggest wrestling fan but I really do enjoy the cards.  So many opportunities for good photos.
This Charlotte Flair is a Diamond Cut insert.
Cool photo.
I enjoy these highlights from matches or events.
Just happy to share more of these cool cards.  These are fun boxes and Women's Divsion boxes as a whole are still pretty affordable.  I hope this set comes back in some way shape or form at some point.

2021 Topps WWE Women's Division Hobby Box with Auto

2021 Women's Division:  First pack in and I pull this beauty.  I love Alexa Bliss so this is a great pull.  Normally with an pull like this I'd start checking eBay but how do I sell this?  This 5th Anniversary Championship Autograph Green #/50 is a great way to kick off this box.
This set is always fun.  Lots of great photos and the ladies of wrestling are lots of fun.  I always caveat these with I don't pay near enough attention to wrestling but I still love the cards.  This year's design is a good one.  Simple but it works.
Plenty of horizontal offerings in this set.  The set is highlights broken up amongst the different WWE platforms and events.  
The WWE lends itself to great photos with the showmanship the wrestlers give every time.
The roster cards give us good looks of the ladies though not in action.  Though in wrestling I think since they are always performing, they are always in action.
One of the knocks on these cards are the full bleed photos which is also what makes them so nice.  It would help if the stock wasn't so thin.  Too easy to have issues on the corners.  I really like this photo.
I like that they have the dates on the fronts.  This set was delayed mightily.  I happened to order it with another product delayed just as long and then cancelled last week so I was finally able to receive my box.
Really glad Topps breaks out the Women's Division into their own set or some of these gals may not get much if any time on wax.  I hope Panini keeps does something similar now that they have the license.
Two of the Diamond Cuts (diecuts) inserts as well as my Mat Relic which is a pink parallel #/150.
Another good shot and we get to see the fans "in the stand" as it was in 2020.  The NBA was also able to do something similar with fans "zoomed" in or whatever the technology was they used.
Not that you can tell but these are holofoil parallels.
These are all good shots for different reasons.
This brand is so much fun.  The ladies of wrestling are so good and entertaining and I think it is something that translates well to cards.  I'll show off more of these card in another post later this year.

Random Wax: 2017 WWE Women's Division

 2017 WWE Women's Division: I picked this up in December but I don't remember where.  The Women's Division cards are some of my favorites.  I really enjoy busting these packs and I like that the ladies have their own card platform to shine.  Nikki Bella retired in 2019 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020 with her sister. 
Can't pass up showing off personal favorite Alexa Bliss in a classic pose.  Plenty of star power to show off in these packs. 
Two of the best.  I pulled a Sasha Banks auto in my 2020 Women's Division Hobby Box in may.  The best pull ever for me.
Lots of variety with ladies from across the WWE platforms.  
A couple of nice action shots to finish this one off.  These are always so much fun.  I'll be pre-ordering my 2021 Hobby Box shortly.  Can't wait.

2020 Topps WWE Women's Division Hobby Box (Auto and Printing Plate)

2020 Topps WWE Women's Division: This showed up at lunch and I couldn't be happier.  This was delayed from last year and went through a format change.  Originally a 24 pack box, hobby boxes are now a single 60 card pack.  You still get an auto and relic.  I had the chance to cancel my order when the change in format was made but I didn't and I'm so glad.  My auto was this gold parallel Sasha Banks #/10.  Great pull for sure.  Love her autograph and she is a name in the sport.  The roster auto gold parallels odds are 1:58 packs.  Nice hit but there was another great hit in this box...
The design is fairly simple but I like it.  Plenty of room for the nice photos you'll see here.  
That Charlotte Flair blue parallel is #/25.  
Love these inserts.  To some the differences may seem negligible but I really enjoy seeing these gals then and now side by side.
This isn't my other big hit but this Superstar Mat Relic is a hit.  It is #75.

These four are Roster card inserts which includes NXT UK wrestlers as well.  Bless Topps for giving Charlotte Flair the horizontal treatment here.  This classic pose of hers deserves the space.   
I also like these Breaking Barriers inserts.  Something about the bricks.  Good to see China's inclusion in the set. 
Action photos are fun as always. 
Plenty of good photos across the different WWE platforms.
And my other big hit is below - a Magenta Printing Plate 1/1.  Those also fall 1:58 packs which is actually better than base card red parallels which is like 1:228 packs.  No matter, it is still a really good pull.  I really enjoyed this box and with the hits is definitely a winner.  I would have preferred the larger amount of cards originally planned for this set but it is still good.  Was hoping for more Alexa Bliss in my pull as well but again I have no reason to complain. 



BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards
12 – Roster Cards
6 – Breaking Barriers
6 – Superstar Transitions
1 – Blue Parallel #/25
1 – Superstar Mat Relic #/75
1 – Magenta Printing Plate 1/1
1 – Gold Parallel Roster Autograph #/10

Random Wax: 2019 WWE Women's Division Blaster

 

2019 WWE Women's Division: Found this one still on a shelf at a Wal-Mart I don't get to much and I couldn't pass this up. And it ties in perfectly with October because if anyone makes you want to Save Second Base it's these gals.  Please check out Collecting Cutch and his Save Second Base campaign.  He does it in a fun way each year and recently did his 100th post in support of this great cause.  October is breast cancer awareness month and donations to the cause can be done here.  Alexa Bliss is my favorite gal from the WWE and I really enjoy finding her cardboard.
Roster cards make up a good portion of your pull and are always appreciated even with these static photos.
Plenty of variety in these blasters.  These are Evolution highlights.
These Trish and Lita Highlights come one per pack.
In ring photos are great.  Definitely something I look forward to in these sets and all Topps wrestling sets.
Always enjoy seeing retired legends.
My relic.  My last blaster of these I pulled a relic as well though it was a parallel numbered #/75.
These are always fun and this really was a good box.  I like my pull and enjoyed seeing all the ladies of the WWE.
