2018 Topps Update hobby jumbo pack x2

I had to make a late afternoon run to get some Topps Updates at some card shop I stopped at - I’m looking for anything Juan Soto [note, didn't pull any] and took the plunge with two jumbo packs; I used to try to get a single jumbo pack of every Topps release, but I haven’t really done so in recent years.

Maybe I could get a retail blaster box somewhere, but while it is a little different - I’d rather get something ‘hobby’ as far as roughly getting the same number of cards [but maybe a better chance of pulling something of note].

No pics, they are plastered all over eBay listings anyway - this took roughly five minutes [cut and paste from a Google Docs file where I list my pack breaks].

2017 Topps Series I hobby jumbo pack

I picked up a jumbo pack of 2017 Topps Series I for my yearly breaking ritual of at least one jumbo pack of Series I, Series II and Update - with a nameplate eating up the lower portion of the front of the card and bright colored card backs, these flagship cards may take a little getting used to, but are otherwise passable.

#74 Brett Lawrie
#93 Matt Joyce
#9 Chris Sale
#12 Jerad Eickhoff

#81 D.J. LeMahieu
#270 Jake Arrieta
#159 Justin Verlander
#S-61 Jackie Bradley Jr. - Topps Salute insert

#5T-16 Wil Myers - Five Tool insert; I like these cards and while maybe too radical, wouldn't mind seeing the multiple picture in a collage element be used as a Topps flagship design instead of the more pedestrian looking base cards issued like usual.

#72 Chicago Cubs team card - Negative Back and White parallel
#FP-21 Jon Lovitz - First Pitch insert

2016 Topps Series I hobby jumbo pack

After a prolonged hiatus, I decided to drop by my LCS to stave off some boredom - in addition to small stash of loose cards I put together, I was looking to bust some loose packs.

I balked at the single pack prices [maybe $4-$6] for stuff like 2016 Panini Diamond Kings and 2016 Topps Gypsy Queen - though 'old news,' I knew I hadn't picked up my lone jumbo pack of 2016 Topps Series I for my breaking ritual, so I settled for that.

2016 Topps Series I 36-card jumbo pack

I picked up a retail jumbo and a 72-card hanger box of this year's flagship product - as seen on other card blogs and eBay, I like how Topps has incorporated many unique images in a card design that feels a bit different than in past years.

A minor quibble would be over the Perspectives inserts - I guess people like them for the strong image selections, though the 'Perspectives' banner is distracting to me and perhaps I would have liked a more 'traditional' way to label these inserts.

#350 Kris Bryant

#US-137 Andrew Romine
#US-66 Neftali Feliz
#US-346 Brandon Crawford
#US-47 Jeremy Jeffress

#US-261 R.J. Alvarez - a draft pick of the Angels in 2012, maybe because he never made it as a Halo and has had no MLB success otherwise, the sight of his cards haunt me.
#US-165 Seth Maness
#US-252 Francisco Rodriguez
#US-372 Alex Wood
#US-72 Brett Gardner
#US-344 Aramis Ramirez
#US-368 Aroldis Chapman

#US-361 LaTroy Hawkins - gotta give a professional ballplayer his due when he is 42 and still pitching in the big leagues.
#H-72 Tom Seaver - Highlight of the Year insert
#US-132 Geraldo Parra - Rainbow Foil
#RS-25 Mark McGwire - Rookie Sensations insert
#US-177 Matt Holliday - Gold parallel serial #'d 1228/2015

#R-3 Daniel Nava - Rarities insert

#WW-8 Roger Clemens - Whatever Works insert; I'm not sure whether or not I really like this or the Nava, but I like cards featuring quirky player trivia.

#CHA-WP Wily Peralta - Career High autograph; though I'm not guaranteed a hit out of a lone pack, this was kind of a 'meh' pull that I feel I could have found in Series I or Series II; maybe I was hoping for an All-Star and/or rookie themed card.
#US-62 Brian Dozier

#US-286 Francisco Lindor
#US-318 Philippe Aumont

#US-13 Tommy Pham
#US-223 Kevin Jepsen

#US-81 Pat Venditte
#US-326 Jonathan Herrera

#US-256 Danny Dorn / Darrell Ceciliani - though he has to share it with another player, it must be neat for a 10-year pro like Dorn to finally show up on an MLB rookie card.
#US-28 Miguel Cabrera

#US-156 Colby Rasmus / Jake Marisnick / George Springer - Amazing Astros; it might not mean much, though on the back of the card, it's nice Topps identified the obscured Marisnick [C] besides Rasmus [L] and Springer [R].

#US-242 Kris Bryant
#US-141 Glen Perkins
#US-392 Odrisamer Despaigne

2015 Topps Series II hobby jumbo pack

Over the last couple of years I've tried to bust at least one jumbo hobby pack of a Topps / Bowman product - it's comforting to open basic Topps because it is a fairly cheap rip while there are still some 'wrinkles' thrown in from time to time, particularly in the hobby configurations.

Admittedly, once the cards are all over the place, I'm not as interested - besides the lone jumbo pack, I also busted a couple of loose $2 hobby packs and will likely pick up a retail blaster at a Target before my $5 coupon expires.

#594 Jose Pirela
#553 Grady Sizemore
#634 Roenis Elias
#376 Chris Sale
#378 Daniel Duffy

#542 Yasmany Tomas

#475 Juan Perez - it's probably going to be uncorrected, but Topps put the wrong header [pitching instead of hitting] on the stat/line.

2015 Topps Series I jumbo pack recap

In the last couple of years, a collecting ritual is to pick up at least one, loose hobby jumbo pack from Topps / Bowman products - it doesn't mean I won't end up buying any more hobby jumbo packs or even splurging for a jumbo box, but I've got to get that initial, hobby jumbo pack break out of the way.

2014 Topps Update jumbo pack recap

I figure I'll end up busting at least one loose hobby jumbo pack of the latest Topps / Bowman offerings - whether or not the odds are in my favor picking up only one lone pack, I assume there is still a better chance to pull anything of note in hobby.

As I flipped through the boring base cards and thought who would want another card of some of these guys - I pull a redemption card for a Jorge Posada Strata autograph.

I don't know what relevance a Posada insert of any sorts has in 2014 Topps Update - but it sure made me feel better about my little 'do or die' gamble.

#US-63 David Murphy
#US-37 Leury Garcia
#US-33 Grady Sizemore

2014 Topps Series II hobby jumbo pack

Not a great break for $12 - I pulled an old school buyback card that without the Topps 75th Anniversary stamp, would be the same as other vg-ex 1976 Topps commons collecting dust at my LCS.

1976 Topps #483 Mickey Stanley - 75th Anniversary foil stamped buyback; I thought the front of the card was in 'presentable condition,' but the centering on the back is pitiful.

2013 Bowman Draft jumbo pack recap

In addition to buy some loose cards, I tried a $12 jumbo consisting of 32 cards - it's basically the same Bowman Draft product from previous years with a bunch of cards of 'newly minted' pros from this past year's draft as well as 2013 rookies.

A new wrinkle to the basic set is the addition of prospect cards to fill out the checklist - I don't know if I like the idea of adding prospect cards in Bowman Draft, when the players featured are just being recycled and already had assorted ones in various Bowman products.

#BDPP 52 Tyler Wade - it's Topps, so I don't know if the info on every single card is correct, but it is actually noted which round a player was drafted and the draft number, so that is nice, subtle touch.
