There's one "MLB" card in Series One with no team name or logo. Other than that it's similar to the other checklist cards. It's got a nice photo of Shohei and Mookie--had to get Shohei into Series One somehow, right?

I put my sets in binders by team and cards like this usually go before the teams but after the League Leader cards.

btw, I rated this set a 9.5 on the this set's and I see other members gave it high marks too. Only the blandness of the backs kept it from a perfect 10. But speaking of card backs, has anyone notice the back of the League Leaders cards?

If all the other cards had graphics similar to this, I would have given this set a 10.

21 base dupes in the one hobby box i've opened. pretty crazy to me that you can't come anywhere close to building out series 1 with a hobby box but i guess that is the norm in recent releases. 

That's pretty rough to get so many insert duplicates. But I really like those autos you pulled.

I had a similar experience. 22 duplicate base in my hobby box. I'm exactly 100 away from completing the base set. Topps dropping down to 20 packs and they're stuffed into the box as well.  

Can't say I'll be buying another hobby box this year and will just finish with retail and dime box buys. Seems like hobby boxes should make up for their lack of hits with better volume and use the nearly $200 jumbo boxes as the place for hits.

Shrinkflation sucks.

Awful collation but fantastic Yount - love it!

I opened 1 jumbo box. 29 short of complete set.

I did find what I think is a variation of #104 Connor Wong with him catching behind the plate and gold colored on the back. Different than the other #104 I have. 

That’s the gold mirror SSP. Congrats!  https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/410085/cid/23864533/2024-Topps---Golden-Mirror-SSP-104-Connor-Wong?PageIndex=1
