Random Wax: 2024 Topps Baseball Hanger Box

2024 Topps:   He's like "what, no more baseball until 2026?".  Randy Arozarena is now in Seattle and put up a career-high 27 home runs for the surprising Mariners.  Seattle was within one game of making it to their first World Series.

Devers and Verlander are now Giants.  Pete Alonso is a free agent looking for his payday after another big season in New York.

Elly De La Cruz has lived up to the hype and had a career high in hits (166) this season.

Great photo in this Willi Castro horizontal take.

Charlie Morton one of the two Yellow Parallels I pulled.  We also have a Rainbow Foil Parallel, and 1989 Topps Baseball insert.

Really nice-looking Checklist card.

More youngsters including Pete Crow-Armstrong.  He had a really good second full season in Chicago hitting 31 dingers for the Cubs.  He appears on a Stars of MLB insert.

The backs are solid with all the stats we want.  Topps, do this with your basketball cards!  Alonso has been very consistent in his career.

Finally get a 2025 World Champion in Mookie Betts.  These Stars of MLB are nice but there just hasn't been enough variety with this insert's design over the years.

The League Leader cards are really nice including the headshots on the back.  These will be fun to look back at for years to come.  The fronts look good, and we see history in a snapshot of time on the back.

This is a design I like and as always, we get solid photos from Topps like we see here.

Team Card.

Fun box of cards.  More good photos here and we'll end it with a 2023 All-Topps Team.  Still not sure about that design but I really like "all-xxx" teams.  The NBA has "All-NBA" and the NFL has "All-Pro" selections for each season.  MLB has silver sluggers I guess but it's not the same.
