2025 Topps Update

The 2025 Topps Update was released in mid-November. Normally, I buy this product each year. For example, I bought hobby packs, jumbo packs or blaster boxes. I like to collect this brand because it somehow helps me reflect the season. Nonetheless, a blaster box isn’t my top priority.

Nevertheless, by accident, I bought some blaster boxes of this product. I’m not going to talk about the reasons here. Let’s just quickly take a look at what I got from a blaster box of the 2025 Topps Update.

Well, the result of this blaster box isn’t a good one. As you can see, there are so many duplicate cards. I understand that it’s highly possible to see duplicate cards. However, in this blaster box, I found more than 10 duplicate cards. For me, this is just crazy. I never saw this before.

In addition, I’m looking for some cool rookie cards from this series. I found some good rookie cards such as Drake Baldwin rookie card and Kristian Campbell rookie card. Drake Baldwin won the 2025 NL Rookie of the Year award. He smashed 19 home runs in 2025. In 2026, it’s going to be interesting to see if he will finish the season with 20+ home runs.

Finally, there are no hits. It’s hard to find a hit in a blaster box. Nonetheless, this time, I only found a numbered card and it’s a gold parallel card, which is numbered to 2025. It’s not so exciting.

As such, I don’t like the result of this value box. But I didn’t intentionally order this box. It’s an accident. So, just let it go.
