Yesterday was the official release day for 2025 Topps. I did not bother checking my local Walmart to see if any blaster boxes arrived. I have weaned myself off of opening packs. I occasionally miss the thrill, but the value is not there for a budget-minded collector like myself. I will wait a few weeks until the inflated prices go down, then work out a trade or hit up value boxes at shows to find the Cardinals I need. Until then, I still have plenty of 2024 cards to chase after. TCDB member Trouttrader sent a nice package full of team set needs.
My 2024 Archives team set is complete, minus the four variations. I do not consider those part of the set.
This is my first 2024 Finest card. Plenty of work left to do on this set. I am not a big fan of the design. It is too dark and has too much going on.
I have always been a fan of Topps Holiday. It is a simple set that offers some nice elements like the Metallic Snowflake parallels and affordable photo variations.
Like the Christmas lights necklace on Winn's card. This one did complete my team set. The New Breed insert is a nice salute to 1999. That was back when I was opening a few boxes of cards every year. Getting married and having kids put a stop to that pretty quickly.
