Box Breaks: 3 Hanger Boxes of 2018 Topps Baseball & 3 Boxes of 2018 Topps Five Star

 

So talk about a night and day break..Topps Update Retail is about as low end as you can get while Five Star is more a higher end higher risk product. I bought 5 Star on presale and just got it in today, while I picked up 3 hangers of Topps Update at Wal Mart just to give it a whirl and maybe pull a base Soto Rookie. At 10 bucks a pop, it's a low risk as you're going to get and expectations are super low as far as pulling anything super meaningful. It's just a fun break, a warm up so to speak before I open 5 Star. Here's what I got out of Update

Juan Soto Base RC
Juan Soto Rookie Debut
Ohtani Base RC

Not a bad little break at all. A numbered Ohtani, a Soto Base Rookie Card (card I wanted) another Soto Rookie Debut, multiple different Ohtani base, Gleyber, Acuna, and Albies. Definitely for the price a pretty a fun break. Hopefully this IS NOT the better break of the two products I'm opening. Now..onto Topps Five Star

Overall Thoughts: Not too bad. Could've been worse. The Pedro is AMAZING and definitely staying in the PC as I don't have a Pedro autograph in my collection. I pulled Dustin Fowler YET AGAIN and that's seriously like the 7th or 8th auto of his I've pulled this year...gross. Same with Chance F'n Sisco. The Damon is cool but not worth much and the Sanchez is not a bad hit though I caught a glimpse of the Yankees helmet and got my hopes up for something better. All in all not bad. Here's pics of the cards (I've also edited my Top 5 pulls as the Steph Curry auto I pulled is a little bit better of a pull than I thought)
