Random Wax: 2021 Topps Baseball Hanger Box

2021 Topps Baseball;  This box I picked up in February is a great way to celebrate after the Braves were crowned 2021 World Champions on Tuesday.  Freddie Freeman may not have been MVP but he meant as much as anyone to this team.  After starting out slow in the NLDS Freeman had a typical great showing in the playoffs.  Love this guy and it is great to see him called "Champion".
It was tough not seeing this guy play in the World Series but if he doesn't get hurt in the regular season and the Braves don't make the moves they did at the trade deadline do things play out differently?
Nice pull in this pack.  Trout and three key members of the Braves?  No complaints from me.
Ian Anderson pitched five shutout innings for the Braves in his one World Series start.
Plenty of young players are always found in these boxes.
Great photo on this Josh Harrison card.
Nice Clemente card.  I don't like the '86 Topps design but somehow it looks better on new cardboard with retired greats.
Hopefully San Diego can live up to expectations next year and be back in the playoffs.  They are a fun young team and I'm a big Tatis Jr. guy though I was late to the bandwagon.
Betts on a World Series card.  Hard not to like that guy even though he is no longer a Red Sox.  Great pack of cards and a great week.  Go Braves!

  1. At this point, opening any box of cards is a treat. I like the Roberto Clemente 1986 insert. Is it available for trade?

    1. I'll take a look and see if I still have it. If I do it is yours.
