John Ward remains Shohei’s best comp. To really match him though he’ll have to start his own league and then become a top-notch golfer and decent writer.

Topps in this set signifies the position by highlighting it on the diamond in the lower right corner. Tommy Edman gets two circles, showing his time in both centerfield and at shortstop

With a white outline and clear interior, placed over a multi-color background, the team name on the left side is nearly unreadable. Not a fan. I wonder if Topps consulted University of Oregon uniform designers here

Red numbers for league leaders stand out, especially when the text is smaller for a long career like Clayton Kershaw’s

No room for factoid here

River Ryan, Justin Wrobleski, and Hunter Feduccia got rookie-card designation on the front of their cards. Yoshinobu Yamamoto got the classic Topps “Future Stars” distinction
