2019 Topps Update Blaster!

You may remember that the Easter Bunny was good to me this year, bringing plenty of card packs for me to open. I'm still working my way through the boxes. I thought I'd continue to share them with you because, well, some of you might like it.

We'll continue with the next box, a second box of 2019 Topps Update!

I'm sure you've all seen plenty of this set by now. But, you can always skip over this. Right?

So...here are the highlights...

OK. So, not exactly a highlight. But, it's a nice shot of a full box!

The first Red Sox! Shawaryn pitched 14 innings for the Sox in 2019, and gave up 22 earned runs.

Still waiting for Chavis to break out...but might be running out of time. He's only 25...but we'll have to stop using the word "only" pretty soon.

Always nice to get an Eovaldi. He's the Sox ace this year, and one of the few bright spots.

Not exactly bright enough to carry a box, though. This break was a tough one.

Hope you did better.

2019 Topps Update Blaster!

You may remember that the Easter Bunny was good to me this year, bringing plenty of card packs for me to open. I thought I'd continue to share them with you because, well, even with the season underway there doesn't seem like theres other stuff I should write about.

We'll continue with the next box, the 2019 Topps Update!

Once again, bravo Easter Bunny for finding older wax to open. I'm sure you've all seen as much as you care to of this set by now. But, you can always skip over this. Right?

So...

It's the special additional pack! Nothing too exciting here. The design doesn't exactly inspire. Hardly worth the effort for them to create the card. 

A fancy gold stamped card!

I like how with his hand position, it looks like Trout is holding an actual circle of stars. Like he's in a prop filled photo booth.

The first Red Sox card! Love seeing Xander develop into the star he was supposed to be.

The 1984 Topps design is always fun. 1984 Topps was probably just a few years too early to be in my collecting wheelhouse. So, it was always fun to be able to add an "old card" to my collection when I could.

Always a treat to get a card of the greater pitcher to ever lace up cleats.

But, as the best card in the box? That's not exactly the goal.

How did your boxes go?
