Finally found some 2026 @Topps Series 2 at @target. Bought 2 of each (got the last two blasters, jumbo, & small packs as well). Both Jumbos packs have Munetaka Murakami on the front of the pack (how did people miss this?!) Question for the group: open 1 & hold 1 or open both??! – at Rosemont, IL

Fun fact: All three players who will be inducted into the @baseballhall in 2026 were once named to the @Topps All-Star Rookie Team: Jeff Kent (1992), Andruw Jones (1997), Carlos Beltran (1999). There are now 37 HOF players and 2 HOF managers who were once named to the Topps ASRT. – at Des Plaines, IL

I was so close to winning an eBay auction for a card that I've been searching for since 2003. Didn't win it. So close though. bdj610bbcblog.blogspot.com/2…

I just saw the list of parallel card sets that will be included in 2026 @topps. I am not a player collector, nor am I a team specific collector. I have a lot of respect to those who are. But after seeing this list, I know why I'm not among your ranks. bdj610bbcblog.blogspot.com/2…
