I've read that 2025 Topps Baseball has fewer hits than ever (and a ton of fluff), so we were surprised to pull several pretty awesome cards already halfway through our hobby box.

My son and I have been back in the hobby since around 2022 and have opened a ton of Topps Series 1, 2 and Update, but never have pulled a /10 (much less a clear one) or a /5...or even a /25 to my knowledge. And for all three to show up in half a hobby box was amazing. Not superstars by any means but it's been a fun morning. I know the Castillo napkin relic isn't anything special, but as Mariners fans that was a fun surprise as well!

We still have a jumbo box we'll break over the next couple of weeks, so I'll follow up if we end up landing anything else notable.
