Horsing Around

 More 2022 Topps Opening Day baseball packs today, and let's take a look at the backs since I haven't shown them off yet, though they are very much standard Topps.


If there is one thing Topps does right on the main sets, it's full stats for players on the backs. Basic info like date of birth, height, etc and full stats. It's not hard but so many sets just don't do it, or don't do it right, so I love this.

Just like I love the mascot card, though he might be looking a little long in the tooth as it were. Not one of my favourite mascots, but passable.

Second pack and we get a bomber for the Bomb Squad with Hammerin' Hank - awesome. Also get another Jay base card dupe which is great and helps the set build for sure. As usual, but cutting the set to just 220 cards instead of 700-800 - you get more stars or rookies in the shortened listing, and it shows. Makes for an exciting pack opening, but not necessarily for a historical look at the full team and year.

Different products for different people though, so I can understand that differing between sets.
