With the holidays practically here, it is now time to talk about some of the various sets being put out to celebrate the festivities. First, here's a look at the 2018 Topps Holiday Baseball card set -- a Walmart exclusive.A limited edition 10 pack box is avialable that includes a 200 card base set with a snowflake graphic in the background. You are also guaranteed one hit (Autograph, Relic or Auto Relic card). Check out what the box looks like on the right. Go here to check out a complete checklist.

This is pretty much the most pointless set of the year, but those relics are awfully nice looking.
ReplyDeleteThey should really lean into the holiday theme with parallels. New Year's parallels /365, reindeer parallels /9, menorah parallels /8, that sort of thing. If you're making a set this cheesy, embrace the cheese. (Not on the relics though!)
I would argue that the Opening Day set is the most pointless. ... That said, you are right. They should have done all kinds of holiday themed parallels.
