2014 Topps Update Jumbo Hobby Pack

A big old handful of this years update from a 50 card jumbo pack.

First up is the pack hit, I guess, and base card example of Jason Giambi.  This is Jason's photo variation.

The rest of the base.

The parallel inserts.

I'm unclear to why Topps decided to change all their card labeling systems for Update and moved from basic numbering to lettering, on all their inserts.

An Ironman Fond Farewell.

89  Die Cut Mini - also no lettered not numbered.

My favorite insert in the set.

2014 Topps Update Retail Rack Pack

Baseball's over and what better way to say that then with a big old pack of Topps Update.  I won't go into all the errors and general laziness that seems to plague this years Update, that's been done already around the blogosphere.  No we'll just sit back and rip into a big 36 card retail rack pack.

Of course the base looks like the base of Series 1 and 2.

Here's the rest of the base cards in the pack

The pack contained 4 inserts.  Two new inserts for this set and two continuation inserts.

First up Adam Jones' MLB All-Star Game Access

The Future is Now Gregory Polanco

The 1989 Mini. I'm not sure why Topps decided to not number these like Series 1 and 2.  Makes it more difficult to put the set together.

My favorite insert in Update has to be these Power Player inserts.  I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the colors or maybe it's just an improvement from the code cards that were inserted in Series 1 and 2.
