boo

i've been holding on to this 
2023 topps update jason heyward jack-o-lantern parallel since late last year for the express purpose of posting it tonight.

it's the only one of those that i own, but i have found a few of the other black and orange parallels over the past 11 months:

max muncy
j.p. feyereisen
noah syndergaard
and clayton kershaw
the blaster of 2024 update that i purchased had some of the new versions of these cards in it, including andrew chafin's card 
i think i would add the tigers to that list of teams for which these parallels might be a priority among team collectors.

the one non-"base" parallel that i found was former twin miguel sano, and it's ghosts!
these types of ghosts remind me of charlie brown. 

clearly these are just another parallel that allows topps to increase production numbers and are quite clearly unnecessary. i would say most collectors would consider them a "trick" with only giants and orioles collectors seeing a "treat" due to the color scheme.

happy halloween!

  1. I go back and forth on whether or not I like the holiday parallels... but one day a year... I'm in favor of those Halloween ones.

  2. When I see those ghost and jack-o-lantern parallels I can help but wish that I still cared about current baseball happenings, as I would love to collect those. And I suppose I could still collect them, but the last thing I need at this point is a bunch of cards featuring guys I've never heard of, nor care to hear of.
