2023 Topps Series 1 blaster box

A few weeks ago, I was browsing on the Amazon website. I found that there were 2023 Topps Series 1 blaster boxes available. Additionally, some vendors sold them at a good price.

 

So, I decided to buy a blaster box of the 2023 Topps Series 1, trying to see whether I could get some cool cards.

 

Now, let’s see what I got.

To be honest, there’s really nothing special from this blaster box. There’s a royal blue parallel card. However, I didn’t see any numbered cards. If I have to grade this blaster box, the grade will be C.

However, the good news is that I added another Julio Rodriguez insert into my collection.

Last year, I met a friend in a card shop. He’s an owner of a bar and likes to collect some inserts. Back then, I was opening some packs of the 2022 Topps Update Series. He asked me if I got some Julio Rodriguez cards. Well, I didn’t get any Julio Rodriguez cards from the 2022 Topps Update Series. But, that bar owner asked me if I have some inserts, he would like to buy them because he likes to collect inserts. Hence, I guess that adding some inserts is not bad. Next time, I will ask that bar owner to see if he does collect some Julio Rodriguez inserts and I will tell him that I got a Julio Rodriguez insert from the 2023 Topps Series 1.

Overall, this blaster box is not a great one for me. I didn’t find some cool rookie cards as I expected. Nonetheless, at least I found a Julio Rodriguez chrome card. Well, it’s fun to open some packs of the 2023 Topps Series 1 blaster box. Nevertheless, sometimes, the results are just not good.
