A Few Rare Wongs

Connor Wong is having an impressive season, at least at the plate.  His defense has struggled at times and he has not had much success throwing out baserunners, but he is still a solid defensive catcher.  Where he has really surprised has been at the plate.  He has drastically cut down his strikeouts (33.3% last year down to 20.9% this year) and is hitting .360/.385/.581 with five home runs and 14 RBIs.  If he can increase his walk rate, get his defense back on track and start utilizing his speed on the basepaths more, he could be a big star.

Anyway, here are the next batch of Wong cards.   

1.  2023 Topps Chrome Update Red/Orange Lava Lamp.  This one is serial-numbered to just 10.  The scan does not do it justice.

2.  2022 Panini Chronicles America's Pastime Swatches Holo Platinum Blue.  This is another 1/1 added to my collection.

3.  2023 Topps Holiday Skeleton.  Not nearly as rare, but it took a long time to find this one.  It is serial-numbered to 50.
