I opened 7 holiday blasters of 2014 Topps Update. These are the boxes with 2 packs of Topps Chrome Update in each box. I have to say these 7 boxes were some of the worst I have opened of this product. I only got 2 inserts total and not a single refractor. The upside is I got the last 2 base cards I needed for the Topps Chrome Update set.

The 2 Chrome inserts I got were from Topps Chrome Update World Series Heroes: Mariano Rivera, Hank Aaron. I didn't get any base inserts worth mentioning, however in total I got 8 base inserts that I needed for my master set.

I got 3 more boxes of A&G Black in along with 6 packs of the die-cut cards. I haven't opened the boxes yet, but I did open the die-cut packs. No inserts this time, but here are the key players I pulled:
Joc Pederson, Mike Trout, Ryne Sandberg, Jose Abreu, Buster Posey, Anthony Rendon
I have about half the set now and am trying to decide whether to try and put the set together or sell/trade off the cards.

I need to make some more room on my desk now, so it will be a few more days before I open any more. Next up will be 2005 Classics, but not sure which I should open after that: 2015 Topps Update, 2015 Bowman, 2015 Bowman Chrome, 2015 Topps A&G Black, or some of the 2008-2012 boxes.

Man, opening that many boxes has to be a blast! If you get any Lucroys that you don't need, we would love a shot at them!

Hard to believe it's been almost a month since I got the first boxes in and I still have a ton left to open. I got through 3 more boxes of 2015 Topps A&G X (the black version which was an online exclusive). These were my last boxes of this product, so now I am going to start seeing what cards I need for the set and will hopefully be able to work on some trades to finish it off. Anyhow, here are the hits.

I opened some boxes in other sports, but finally got back to some baseball boxes tonight. I opened 4 hanger boxes of 2015 Bowman. I got these directly from Topps when they did their Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale. Here are the highlights:

I was surprised to see 2 autographs out of 4 hanger boxes, especially parallel autos. I don't usually open many hangers and don't buy much Bowman (as I prefer getting players I recognize their names right away as opposed to waiting a year or so to see if they make it to the majors). I have 2 hobby boxes of 2015 Bowman Chrome to open still, and will either open those or some of the 2015 Topps Update boxes (as I still have a bunch of the holiday boxes, blasters, and a hobby box to get through).
