2020 Topps Update Blaster!

It's time to open another blaster! Or, technically, it's time to tell you about another blaster I already opened! This time we'll go with 2020 Topps Update! I've always enjoyed these pacs with their mix of stare, rookies, and fun/different cards. How'd I do? Let's see!

Here are the highlights...


And, of course, "highlight" always means a look at unopened packs. Right?


Here's the odd medallion card. Well, I guess it's actually a collector's coin. If Topps is going to make up a card with something in it, I'd prefer a better theme than this.


A Red Sox card! One of the best part of Topps Update for me is the cards of players from that year's All-Star game. It's a fun way to add content to a set that would otherwise be full of people you didn't care about...yet. Of course, this year there wasn't an All-Star game. So, Topps made the great choice to highlight players from years past. Like Sale here. 


Oh phew. I was afraid Jose Peraza wouldn't get a Red Sox card this year.


Another card celebrating All-Star games from previous years. In this case, it's the Home Run Derby from 1999. It's not a Red Sox player, obviously, but as someone who attended that derby McGwire's performance is always fun to remember. 


Hard to tell from the picture, but this is a super awesome gold version of Ryan Weber's card. A mega-hit if I've ever seen one.


Yeah. I could have done without this card. Even if it's a chance to get another Red Sox card of his.


Thankfully I also added the standard version of Ryan Weber. I hate it when you have the parallel but not the base.

So, there you have it. A nice selection of Sox cards, actually, and one Fenway card. I'd call this box a success.

How did you box go?

  1. I think Update is the only baseball I've seen at my Target. Haven't picked any up though. I might grab a box if they go on sale or something... just to get my fix.
