2022 Topps Gallery

Since 2019, I have bought some packs of Topps Gallery each year. Additionally, I used to buy a mega box or a blaster box of this product. However, in 2022, I didn’t see the 2022 Topps Gallery available in the sports card shops that I frequently visited.

In January, I decided to order a mega box of the 2022 Topps Gallery online and a friend helped me to pick up the package.

It’s my second time opening a mega box of the Topps Gallery and I truly hope to see some cool rookie cards inside.

And, here’s what I got.

For me, the result is great. First of all, I was looking for a Seiya Suzuki rookie card for quite a long time. However, after ripping so many packs of Topps’ products in 2022. I didn’t find any Seiya Suzuki rookie cards. I used to watch him crush a home run in a baseball stadium while he was playing for Samurai Japan. Therefore, once I knew that he was going to play in the big leagues, I was so glad that I might someday get his rookie card. Nonetheless, the wait was a bit longer than I expected. But, the wait is over.

In addition, two autograph cards are guaranteed in a mega box. I got two autograph cards, which are both numbered. One is numbered to 99 and the other is numbered to 50. Both are rare and it’s my first time ripping two numbered autograph cards in a box. Well, I had been waiting for a while to see this product and get a Seiya Suzuki rookie card. After purchasing this product, I got what I wanted. Furthermore, the design of the 2022 Topps Gallery seems to be getting better. As such, I’m looking forward to seeing the 2023 Topps Gallery later this year, if it will be released.
