2025 Topps: You don't have to like the Yankees or
Aaron Judge, and I don't, but dang that guy can hit. I can't believe he's already 33. His Rookie of the Year was 2017 when he blasted 52 home runs. And it's not all about the long ball. Judge has a career .297 average and is batting ~.340 this year. Amazing.
Devers was shockingly traded to the Giants this year after things went south in a hurry. Crazy how things work out. Boston is actually doing alright and are third in the wild card standings.
Bogaerts and Altuve are favorites of mine, so this is a fun pull for me.
Great photo on youngster Elly De La Cruz's horizontal card. The speedster is having a great sophomore season.
Plenty of young players in these boxes.
My Pink Diamante Foil Parallel which drops 1:12 hanger boxes.
I do like the All-Topps Team inserts. I really like that look. Anthony Rizzo on a Diamante Foil Parallel which is another good look. And my 1990 Topps card which looks better on new cardboard. Back in the day it didn't work for me for an entire set.
Fun checklist cad.
Some great photos.
I love League Leaders cards and this season we see the return of the actual numbers (stats) on the front as well. Good job Topps, good job.
I really went all in on the hanger boxes for 2025 Topps. It really felt like I had a solid pull each box and a good variety with the inserts and parallels.
Some more horizontal offerings. Fun Luis Castillo card.
Corbin Carroll has found some extra power this season and still has speed, but he has work to do on his average. He's a favorite of mine and I'm rooting for him. We'll end it with this Stars of MLB grouping.
