2022 Topps Baseball Series 2

[packs]

Series 2 has the Rookie short prints of Bobby Witt Jr. and Julio Rodriguez. But these cards are tough to pull.

This probably should be in the Postwar Modern forum.

Hi John, it is posted there. I’m looking right at it, lol

Thanks packs!

I never care where people post stuff but there is a post war section and a post war modern section, which I am not looking at currently

Hi Al, you’re right and I thought I posted this in the modern section. I could have sworn I did it correctly, lol. My bad and I’m sorry for any confusion….

It really doesn't matter and I almost didn't point it out. But yes there is a modern section.

Rick- it was a good post and you got some good input. Always good to have new discussions wherever they show up. People can be interested and read them or if not pass on them

$5 for hobby packs seems a little high. May $3-$4 for hobby and $15-$18 for jumbo.

But also, Witt and JRod are short prints in the 2022 Topps Chrome packs. I'm sure Strider is in that too. So you might check those, although it just came out. So it will be pricey still.

I dabble in modern and agree that the Bobby Witt Jr. and Julio Rodriguez cards are the best pulls, but as mentioned they are referred to as SP cards (short prints)....meaning Topps made less of those two than the other base cards.

If you are buying single packs in person, then yeah, $4 or $5 per pack is about right.

If you're only after Spencer Strider, than your cheapest option is just to buy the Spencer Strider base card on eBay....looks like he's selling around $5.00 shipped.

But if you want the fun of pulling Spencer Strider from a pack, and more chances at getting a rare parallel of Spencer Strider (Gold version, Black version, Image Variation, etc.) then you might consider just ordering a whole box...about $105 for 24 packs. You'll likely pull a Spencer Strider base card from the box (but not guaranteed), and have a chance at pulling some other fun stuff (like the JRod, Witt, a relic card, an auto, etc.). But it's like the lottery, you likely won't get $105 value out of your $105 box....but opening packs is FUN!

Have you thought of checking the Breakers? My guess is rather paying for a whole box/case to get a Strider card, buy the option from some Breakers opening 2022 Topps Series II cases or boxes and simply purchase whatever team/option will get you Strider cards. Will likely be much cheaper in the long run than you buying packs/boxes/cases yourself.
