2024 Topps Holiday Mega Box

 2024 Topps Holiday: Who's pumped for Christmas?  This guy...and Pete Alonso.

Topps goes all in for the holidays with this design.  I like it.  Panini skimps on the holiday trimmings and their designs normally fall flat.  Here we're all in on the Christmas cheer.

Plenty of rookies in this box with 38 of the 100 cards dedicated to youngsters.  We have our first SP here with Shota Imanaga rocking the Christmas Lights Necklace variation.  Speaking of, a guide to the variations can be found here.  Gunnar Henderson is a Blue Metallic Glitter Parallel that come 1:10 mega boxes.

There are 200 base cards in this set.  The card numbers on the backs are prefaced with an "H".

Some alternate uni love.  The team names are all done in holiday green to help mark the occasion.

We love passion in our players and wearing Santa Hats which is another SP variation.  Well done Byron Buxton.

How do these not get you into the Christmas spirit?

That Trea Turner is a Silver Glitter Parallel.

My Ornament card and Relic.  They are okay.

I look forward to the holiday set each year and these didn't disappoint. 

Another Christmas Lights Necklace variation.  Variations can be tough to spot sometimes but the proof is on the back.  Check the code at the very bottom of the card if you're unsure.  Specifically, the last three digits.

Base Card – 141

Variations – 155

These are all about fun including the SPs.  We'll end it with some more World Champions in World Series MVP, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts.  And I always like a good Cutch card.  Merry Christmas!
