Random Wax: 2022 Topps Baseball Update Hanger Box

2022 Update: This box hasn't been posted since I bought it in 2022.  Kick it off with a cool Albert Pujols card. Easy to remember this guy for the gigantor Angels contract he signed but he was a great hitter. It was pretty cool that he was able to come back to the Cardinals for one final year and it worked at well for both sides with a really good season.
Update is always a mixed back with youngsters and vets in new unis.  These three cards highlight some of the cool photos from the box.
Jeremy Pena really worked out well for the Astros.  He was the ALCS and World Series MVP enroute to Houston winning the 2022 World Series title.  Royce Lewis has only played 70 games but he's been really good in that short timeframe.
Nice BoSox checklist card.  I do like the 2022 Topps set overall.
I like the Stars of MLB inserts. Bobby Witt Jr. just signed a massive contract extension with the Royals.
Another youngster on this Generation Now insert.
I like that Villar photo.
Combo cards feature either rookie combos or veteran combos.
I could have easily led off with this cool Griffey Jr. 1987 Topps Baseball insert.  Nice photo and card.
