2024 Topps: Aaron Judge won his 3rd MVP in 2025. Doesn't seem like he is 33 already. His 53 home runs bring him to 368 for his career. Last season he hit .331 with a .457 OBP, .688 SLG, 1.144 OPS, all tops in the league. But he's still a Yankee...just saying.
This is a design I like. Emmanual Clase has since been implicated in rigging pitches for betting purposes. That is after I purchased this box in May of 2024. The scandal is a big hit for the Indians and MLB.
Great photo.
That Reid Detmers is a Holiday Parallel.
Pretty cool Easter Rabbit Parallel which falls 1:56 packs and includes Elly De La Cruz on this Checklist card.
Gavin Williams and Bryan Woo have turned into an excellent starters in Cleveland and Seattle, respectively.
Fun photo on this Checklist card.
All good photos here.
Another Holiday Parallel on this Yankees Team Cad.
I don't hear Christopher Morel's name as much as Anthony Volpe, but he does have more home runs. I'm not saying he's a better player. I just seem to hear Volpe come up a lot and wasn't familiar with Morel.
I'm a fan of 2025 Silver Slugger winner Corbin Carroll who has led the league in triples for three straight years.
Nice Chas McCormick photo with the leap, what looks like the catch and it happening against a baseball graphic.
League Leader cards are always fun. 2023 was the year the Atlanta Braves offense went off. Like historically good. And then fizzled in the playoffs against the Phillies.
Some really nice inserts. I like the look of the 2023 Greatest Hits card and Elly De La Cruz of course helps. And we get Buster Posey looking all retro on the 1989 Topps Baseball card.
2023 was Miguel Cabrera's final season. Great hitter and a very likable guy. 2X MVP. Triple Crown winner. 4X batting titles. 7X Silver Slugger. World Series Champion.
We'll end it with some good Stars of MLB pulls as well as our retired great on a Grand Gamers insert. I wish we got more retired greats in Topps cards.

It's weird seeing Easter bunnies used for a card parallel, but at least you know what you're looking at. It's been two years since I started seeing that other holiday parallel (the team card for the Yankees) and I'm still trying to figure out what those things are.
