The time machine has been bouncing around lately. From 1991 to 2022 and not back to 2023. It's one of the best parts of card collecting...the ability to travel through time with the flip of a binder page. Now it's time to return to present day and see how this year's cards stack up. So, we're opening another box of 2023 Topps!
How did this box go? Let's find out!
Here's the box, and this year's featured player.
See? He's on all the packs too.
Ok, so maybe instead of "current" we're time traveling again. Remember when Matt Strahm was on the Red Sox? Now you can relive it.
Or, Jeter Downs? He used to be on the Sox too.
And Tommy Pham? It's so nice to open the current year's packs and get all the current players.
Here we go! Alex Verdugo is definitely a 2023 Red Sox player. Not sure where the Sox would be without him.
Here he is again, featured prominently on this team card.
Two current players in a row! Ignoring the blinding yellow uniform, this is a fantastic card. Well framed. Well cropped. Well timed. Hard to find a flaw. Simply beautiful.
And there you have it. The time traveling is complete. Actually quite a few Red Sox cards in this box. Even if some of them are no longer on the team, they all count towards the team set. I guess I can't complain about that.
How did your box go?
Pivetta and Devers are the highlights here. Great horizontal photos, which is hard to do these days.
