2020 Topps Series 2 hanger box recaps

I waited on an Excell employee to restock the card section at a Target to see if I can score a cardboard fix - to his credit, the guy wasn’t letting anyone touch anything as he busied himself with the job of unboxing various trading card product.

In between watching this guy putting out non-sport stock, I saw 2020 Big League value packs and blasters, 2020 Opening Day blasters and eventually 2020 Topps Series Two hanger boxes and value packs being placed on the shelves or hung up on the hooks - I felt silly, but who knows if I'll ever see the card section of any Target with actual unopened product to purchase.

Maybe the trading cards to look for would be NBA cards, but I wouldn't know anything about that - I was really hoping to see at least some 2020 Bowman Mega boxes I probably missed my window for those this year and I didn't see them being put out.

I grabbed the two hanger boxes of Topps while some father / son duo on stand by grabbed all the 2020 Panini Prizm baseball mega boxes and maybe some 'Pokemon' thing - there might be gold in those Prizm boxes but Panini's unlicensed baseball stuff is junk to me.

Box one

#678 Jose Rodriguez - I think I’ve been a fan of this Major League Baseball for about 30 years and while I wouldn’t know everyone who has ever played within that time frame, I feel like I had a better grasp of the rank-and-file guys 15-20 years ago. Now, it’s like my brain doesn’t have the space to acknowledge such players [even on my team] who have come up in recent years.

Box two - go figure, maybe the first 40 cards out of the two hanger boxes [up to #401] were all the same and the reality of being so thirsty, only to be screwed over by random collation really hit me.

FWIW, I only listed the section of the brick where it was mostly a different run of cards.
