First Buzz: 2023 Topps Update baseball cards

[Jolten Joe]

The regular Black & Orange stripes remind me of Charlie Brown's shirt

I’m one card short of a set and I noticed that there is no #250. Any information on this?

There are two cards #149. Teoscar Hernandez and Levi Stoudt. Hernandez is supposed to be #250.

Have picked up three cards I want. The breaks are picking up!

[cj828282]

Any one open any hangers? What is the consensus?

Grabbed one presale jumbo and pulled a so so auto and a Jordan Walker RD Indy, so was happy with my lone purchase.

I picked up a jumbo box to get my set. What a dumb box topper card. Let's make a card that's just slightly larger than a normal card, just big enough that it doesn't fit in a standard penny sleeve and is slightly harder to store.

Try storing the ornaments from Holiday.

I usually end up putting them in a 5x7 Ultra Pro sleeve, but of course they are not very secure in there.

I have some of those as well. Sometimes I debate just throwing them away. Only two I'd be keeping are a Brujan heritage minors extra long card and a Robles A&G box topper, and only because they are autos

Yeah I did something similar I took a team bag and just cut it in half to make my own homemade penny sleeve. If I ever pull anyone decent I have 5x7 box topper top loaders I'll slide it in.

Just noticed an interesting anomaly. Some of the 1/1 plates have the vintage logo on them:





While some are just the regular logo:



Found a Varsho from series 2 vintage plate also:



I wonder if they did separate sets of plates per player...

Carroll is the same: I’ve only seen Vintage Stock plates for him

Yep, my Spencer Steer from Series 2 has the vintage stock logo.

I put them inside the big plastic cover sleeve on my binders. Secure-ish. Still in pretty decent shape.

Why though? Error by the boys in the office?

most likely. Doesn't seem to be anything cheeky about it. Teoscar Hernandez and a player who's name I don't recall.

[Anarchy99]

kinda have to think Brandon Pfaadt's emergence is helping Update a little bit. His stuff has gone up in the last week I know its a pitcher, but atleast some kind of temporary value add can only be a good thing

My kid’s favorite holiday is Halloween. He loves these out of blasters. This is what he pulled out of 2 blasters. It’s not a witch or a bat, but still pretty awesome, despite the name.
