2022 Topps Archives Blaster!

More Cards! Today, let's try some 2022 Topps Archives. I haven't opened any of this on here yet this year that I can see. This product is always fun to open with the different designs giving the process lots of variety. Especially when they drift into designs that weren't quite mainstream. There are so many options for Topps to explore.

How did this box go? Let's find out!



The box itself, showing off that variety I was talking about.


And the packs...completely lacking in any sort of variety,


Fun rookie card of Jarren Duran. Like I said, they have so many designs to choose from, it's annoying they picked this one.


Even when it's a card of your newest Hall of Famer David Ortiz. This is a nice card, though.


And this also goes for this design. Sure, it's a fun design. But when it's used so much as an insert set design in the regular packs, seems unnecessary to use it here. I've said before that it wouldn't be hard to come up with some sort of schedule so that Archives, Heritage, and the inserts don't repeat designs very often. Always great to get a new Pedro card though.


Yup. I'm not ready for this yet.

And there you have it. A rookie, and three former Sox. As far as variety, the Sox didn't exactly display that in this case with only two designs represented. Oh well.

How did your box go?

  1. Same level of commitment here, one blaster. Same Red Sox pulls & the Pedro card was one of the most memorable cards.

    However I found a distinct +1 compared to your blaster - the ‘78 style Nomar is a nice card you would probably want.
