Topps Holiday Advent Calendar - Day 16

 I didn't get any comments on my last post and I think I know why. I've been too negative about this Topps Holiday Advent calendar. It's really not that bad!

Maybe door #16 will have something special?!?

Okay, so it's a standard 5-card pack. But I'm going to be positive!!! This is fun!! So I'm going to enjoy this pack by scanning each card individually and including a positive comment about each. 

Here we gooooooooo!!!!!!

Christian Walker was the Astros' home run leader in 2025! 

James Wood is not James Woods, which is good. He led the league in strikeouts with an astounding 221 -- just two away from the single-season record!! Honestly though, he's probably the Nats' best player. He's still only 22, and if he can just be a little more selective at the plate he'll be a monster. 

Another Christian Walker! Two cards of the same player in one pack, that never happens!! 

Hey  .. do you think that somewhere there's a guy named Christian who isn't a Christian? A Jewish guy named Christian would be pretty funny. Like if Ranger Suarez signed with the Astros. 

All Rise!! It's Aaron Judge, the greatest slugger in the game today! He hits twice as many home runs as Walker. 

Mooo-kie! Four-time World Series champ and the active career leader in WAR with 75.2!! 

What's that? I'm being told that Mike Trout still plays baseball once in a while, so Betts has the second-highest WAR among active players. But he's still 10 points higher than Judge and he's younger. 

Overall, this was a pretty good pack of Holiday cards! Now, can we please get some variety in this box?

Thanks for reading!
