Coffee Break:2022 Topps Tier One Baseball (solid pull!)

*takes a sip, gets ready for the latest post on cards over coffee*

Even though this week my mind is completely focused on the start of football season, NFL Pick 'Ems and Fantasy football to focus on along with the Giants first game, it is still baseball season and baseball card season. Today I am ripping one of the latest Topps high end product offerings.

*takes a sip, gets ready to show off the box*

In every box of 2022 Topps Tier One baseball there is one pack of three cards. Each card is a hit and each box has 2 autographs and one relic card. Boxes run about $225 which isn't bad for some of the offerings you could find inside. Definitely cheaper than a football option would be. It seems baseball cards don't have as many popular rookie hits to chase in 2022 which is why prices have stayed down. I don't hear people chasing Wander anymore or barely a whisper of O'Neill from Pitt.

Oh well. Just means it saves the bigger hits for the rest of us.

*takes a sip, begins to rip*

My first hit from the pack was the dual relic card of Kyle Hendricks. One of the swatches on here is a patch, the other is just a regular jersey. Gotta admit that bothers me when both swatches are not patch swatches.

My next pull was this Dustin May autograph. I am not sure what it is with me with pulling Dodger pitcher autographs.

Then finally, a big one! Not a bat knob card like I had hoped but a Buster Posey auto. Not bad at all! This card is also numbered to 25.

Normally, I don't hit decent cards from this product. This may be the first time I actually landed back the value of the box. Normally my breaks are loaded with rookie pitcher hits. Guess I was do.

Coffee Break:2021 Topps Tier One Baseball

*coffee is ready and so am I on this beautiful Saturday morning*

The sun is out and I am pumped for the first day that may reach into the 70's here. Sounds like a good day to go hit a ball with a bat. Well for me, it's wiffle ball these days and even then, my arm feels like I pitched 100 innings when I am done.

But before I go and throw my arm out, let's do a quick Coffee Break!

*takes a sip, begins to rip*

Every box of 2021 Topps Tier One comes with 3 cards. The three cards are all hits and comes with two autographs and one relic card per. Boxes run just under $200 so it's the same high end product it always has been.

First card, Chris Taylor Tier One relics

 

Rookie Breakout autograph of Ryan Jeffers

 

Prime Performers autograph of Mark Buehrle

Overall, that was a bit painful. Almost $200 on a pitcher autograph (as you know I am not a fan of landing a pitcher autograph as its the same as landing an offensive lineman in football) and a relic and a rookie I hadn't heard of. But, once again, that's all apart of the gamble that is Tier One.

I will say though, there are some HOME RUN hits in Tier One with Bat Knobs, Cut Signatures of legends and big name autographs throughout. Tier One has the hits, you just have to have the luck.
