So my birthday came and went, and much to my surprise, unlike me, my family was able to find some Topps product to give me as gifts.

One daughter hit the jackpot at Target and shared the news with the rest of them. She checked the card aisle and found nothing. Somehow she was led to the toy section and found an end-cap with lots of Topps product.
Is this a normal thing for Target? Using a toy section end cap for sports cards?
I've found clearance stuff back there, and there is small section for Pokemon and gaming cards and such, but never an end cap of current sports cards.

For this post we'll start with the egg, I've never opened one of these before.
The egg contains a 59-card pack of 2026 Series I cards, including 2 Holiday Variations and 1 Exclusive card.
Here are the highlights:

Holiday Polka Dots Green/Pink 1:2
Holiday Egg Tin Exclusive 1 per tin
Holiday Chicks 1:10

Rainbow Foil, 1991 Topps 35th Anniversary, Titans of the Game.

Angels pulled and Freddie Freeman because a daughter has a crush on him.

The top two rookies (as of this writing) based on TCDB pricing (taken with a grain of salt).

And the rest of the rookies in the egg.
Not sure what I'm supposed to do with the egg now.

Stay tuned for the first of four 2025 Update blasters.
As for the egg: put the Freeman card in it.....wrap the egg to re-gift to the daughter with the crush.
ReplyDeleteGenius!
DeleteI’ve know about cards at the end caps at the toy sections for a couple of years now, but wonder why they need them in both places.
ReplyDeleteNice highlights! I think Nolan McLean is going to be amazing this year; we'll see.
ReplyDeleteNice cards including Angels. Seek and you shall find the Topps cards. I guess you never know where they might be. I guess it was some kind of Easter Egg Hunt? Enjoy the time all!
ReplyDeletea. I wish my family hooked me up with baseball cards for my birthday. Sometimes I'll get a Target gift card at Christmas, which I'll spend on cards. But I can't remember the last time I actually received blasters for my birthday (from a family member... I did get some of those Halloween basketball packs from a student two years ago).
ReplyDeleteb. That green parallel of Tolle looks awesome. But it's kinda weird that Topps chose to have his arms cross over into the border, but not his legs.
