Random Wax: 2023 Topps Baseball Hanger Box

2023 Topps:  Dodgers and Cubs kick off "Opening Day" today in Japan as they start a two-day series.  Freddie Freeman has 2267 hits entering 2025 at will be 35 this season.  Can he get to 3,000 hits?  Probably not but I love thinking that maybe he can do it.  

Acuna is coming off a knee injury and is supposedly 90-95% healthy.  Really want to see a full year from this guy.  Great pull in this box.  Pete Alonso resigned with the Mets and will get to play with new Met Juan Soto while Aaron Judge and the Yankees will see if they can get back to the World Series.  Opening Day for all teams will be Thursday, March 27.  

Excited for their trip to Japan on this checklist card?

Nice horizontal offering.

Youngsters.  Franco was still a thing when I scanned this hanger box of cards in March of 2023. 

Fun Texas Rangers Team Card.

More star power to add to my pull.

These One-Two Punch inserts are nice looking cards.

Stars of MLB which came four to a hanger box.

No numbers on these League Leader cards which is a fail, but we do see that in subsequent sets.

I do like the design of the 2023 set and we get some nice photos to go with it.

We need 2019 Acuna and him playing a full season.  Still some fun stat lines to look at.

We'll end it with a 1988 Topps Baseball insert of another guy needing to play a full season.  Enjoy the first games of the season!
