I’m liking the looks of these so far! Seems like they did a good job respecting the design of the border.

A bunch of mine from 2025 jumbos were totally off center, but they look nice otherwise.

Also I wish they had kept purple /75. Ah well.

I'm a big silver pack collector and I'd say centering is an issue with a lot of them. It's forced me to be much more vigilant about looking at pictures on listings.

I’m not a fan of how the colored parallels are tinted inside the borders this year. I get that ‘90 Topps had different color borders than other ‘80’s cards, which makes it more difficult, but I wish they had figured out a better way to do the parallels. Maybe just solid all around….

Anybody seen this year's in hand? From the pictures the base is solid, but the color looks terrible.

I have a gold arriving later this week so we'll see. Hoping this particular one looks as good as in the picture. A lot of the colors look awful to me because they clash with the team border color. Is that what you're thinking as well?

Sigh…wish I still had it. First super I ever pulled.

here’s an orange one. I have a few aqua /199s too, but they’re kind of hard to distinguish from the base. I don’t like how they’ve tinted inside the borders, although the ‘90 design makes it difficult to color the borders instead. In short, I like the base, but not the parallels.

I don't think the Aqua is that hard to see. Here's my Acuna. Have a Green /99 incoming as well.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm thinking. We'll see when I get some in hand.

Acuna regularly has pretty cool pictures on his Silver Packs. I still need the '25 and '20 Update /150 (if anyone wants to throw me a bone, I'll bark).

Yeah he does for the most part. My run of Acuna Blues.

Seeing all those cards made me shocked to realize Acuna has been in the league that long. Doesn't seem like it since he's only had two full healthy seasons

Love seeing them together! Nicely done.

That reminds me... I'm missing '22 and '24 S2 as well! Yeesh!

All the more impressive!

Just found this thread. Always have enjoyed the silver pack cards!

The 90’s cards look good as chrome, but still sure about the color variations.

My sons that he pulled on release day.

Thanks!

I actually left out the 2021 Series 2 Blue I had. It's pictured now. Only one I need is the 2025 which I will pick up at some point.

[Rabs]

Now have two of the 5.

The 1990 silver packs look great imo but the parallels are SO BAD! bums me out big time, and the all-Stars parallels in series 2 look real bad in a worse way.

Wanted to say the same thing… the eBay photos of the all star parallels look so bad, they feel like a joke.

Well....you're starting to hit the end of decent Topps designs.

After the 1990 design, there's arguably not another decent design until 2009 or 2010....
