@CardPurchaser 2026 Topps jumbos already going for $450+. Unfortunate harbinger of things to come I’m afraid.

What's your biggest pet peeve in the hobby right now?

Walgreens random boxes for the win! @CardPurchaser

Big win for @_SgtSlaughter 35 years ago over the Ultimate Warrior at the 1991 Royal Rumble.

@JacobNovak97 @CardPurchaser I appreciate the interest, but this would be tough to move. Just love this card.

@BWCards16 @CardPurchaser I pc blue jays. Let’s trade? Or hm you want for this?

Let’s take a look at my Top 10 pulls from 2025. All from my own purchased boxes, not breakers. I’ve got three honorable mentions to start. This is just a personal favorite, black border SSP Vladdy from 2024 Topps Heritage High Number. @CardPurchaser

Bang! 1/5 Red Trout auto at #1. Say what you want, but for many of us, we got back into the Hobby because of Trout. This is an all-time pull for me that I won’t soon forget. Oh, and some further context, this box yielded FOUR autos. 2024 Topps Update for the win!

Some context for #1. My love for 2024 Topps Update Jumbos culminated by buying another box a couple months back. I already pulled an auto from the box, so was not anywhere near prepared for what would come in the very next pack……

We resume our 2024 Topps Update Jumbos for #2. A true Skenes Gold RC out of the same box that Yamamoto and Ohtani hit. The auto from that box was meh and I didn’t even care.

#3 comes from a 2022 Archives Hobby Box that I found for cheap to do a Bobby Witt rookie hunt. Instead, found a Mo Rivera auto to /50. Nice!

#4 resumes our run from 2024 Topps Update Jumbos. Came out of the same box as Yamamoto. And was the 2nd Ohtani HFA that I’ve pulled?!?!

#5 is another James Wood from a 2025 Topps Heritage Hobby Box, this time a Real One! Took a little while for it to arrive, but worth the wait.

Always fun to pull an auto out of retail! #6 is just that, out of the first pack from the first Holliday box of the year. /25 Wyatt was quite a nice surprise!

#7 out of 2025 Bowman University Chrome. 1/5 Red Shimmer with an Inscription is tough to beat! Hopefully Joe Royer has a similar career path as another former Cincinnati Bearcat tight end.

#8 from one of my all-time favorite players. Pujols Color Blast out of a 2024 Prizm Hobby Box. Bought a ton of this product, and it never disappointed.

#9 from the same 2025 Topps Update Jumbo box as Dollander. How can you go wrong with a 1-of-1? Definitely a hold for a future HOF’er.

#10 begins an epic run from 2024 Topps Update Jumbos. This card is so clean with the color match.

Honorable mention #3 is a /76 black chrome James Wood RC from a 2025 Topps Heritage Hobby box. Pulled a /25 orange chrome Ben Rice out of the same box.

Honorable mention #2 is a /10 Dollander patch auto out of a 2025 Update Jumbo Hobby.

Ripped all three formats of Chrome Basketball. I actually liked the blasters the most.

End of year rip incoming. Hits to follow. @CardPurchaser
