Stopped at Barnes & Noble and got a couple boxes of baseball cards.
First, a 59-card box of 2024 Topps Baseball Update Series.
- Skenes is the guy who left a no-hitter.
- Weird seeing Votto in a different uni.
- I like how Winker held the pose for the photographer.
- Alternate uni. City Connect maybe?
- All-Star Game insert.
- Two home runs in his first two post-season plate appearances.
The other box was a 2024 Topps Holiday Mega Box. 100 cards in this one.
- Shohei and Gunnar are Santa cap variants.
- Smith for my same name collection.
- Home run robbery by Nimmo.
- Some alternate uniforms.
- Suzuki was a 5x NPB All-Star.
- Yoshida was a 4x NPB All-Star.
- Matsui was a 5x NPB All-Star.
- Senga was a 3x NPB All-Star.
- Uwasawa was a 3x NPB All-Star.
- My three Silver Glitter parallels.
- I also got a Mike Trout Christmas ornament and a Jose Ramirez relic card.
- Anyway, I think they overdid it a bit with the design. But I got plenty of keepers, so it turned out okay.
It is weird seeing Votto in anything but a Reds uni. Still want the card lol
ReplyDeleteHa.
DeleteDang, pretty good on the Holiday box.
ReplyDeleteYeah. It's a 200-card base set, so that helps.
DeleteLots of cool cards.
ReplyDeleteGood Job!

DeleteNot usually a big fan of the holiday cards, but those look good. Maybe it's seasonal for me!
ReplyDeleteSome holidays are better than others.
DeleteHaven't figured out if I like this years design or not for holiday. Will have to see a card in person to decide
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't take my word for it either.
DeleteThanks for sharing the NPB All-Star game info. Never really thought to look that up and do a comparison, but it's really interesting. Shohei was also a 5x NPB All-Star. According to AI... Yuki Yanagita holds the record with 10 appearances.
ReplyDeleteAs for the cards... congratulations on landing the Ohtani santa hat variation. That's my favorite card in the post. I'm like Matt in the sense that I haven't decided if I really like the busy design of the holiday cards or not. I am sitting on a box (not sure if it's a mega or blaster) that I plan on cracking open this week.
Good luck with your pulls.
DeleteYeah the Holiday set seems to hit you over the head with the design, but it's the Holiday set, so whatever. I found a couple of the ornament tins for me and the eldest to open up.
