The First Few Topps Now Cards of 2025

I am getting closer to catching up.  This post will show off the first four Topps Now cards I have gotten this year.  Most of them are relatively new to my collection.

On March 29, Kristian Campbell hit his first Major League home run against the Rangers.  Campbell was the first of the new Big Three to make the Majors, and he started off hot, but cooled off considerably.  He was sent back to the minors, but looks like he could be recalled soon.

March 27 saw Campbell get his first Major League hit, in his Major League debut on Opening Day.  He singled and walked in four plate appearances.

On April 6, Alex Bregman hit his first home run as a member of the Red Sox.  Bregman spent his entire career with the Astros.  I was honestly not the biggest fan of Bregman, but I definitely saw the appeal of acquiring him.  Bregman is an elite defensive third-baseman and a great hitter.  He is on a potential Hall of Fame track.  I really hope at this point that Boston extends his contract and keeps him around.

Garrett Crochet was the biggest offseason acquisition for the Red Sox.  They gave up a lot of prospects to get him, but he has been everything the team hoped he would be.  On April 2, he won his first game with the Red Sox, in his second start, by throwing eight scoreless innings against the Orioles.  At the time, it was his career high.

Closing things out will be a Wong card, because there is just one before a much more obvious next post.
