Topps Now and Wong Cards

This post is a way to get a bunch of stuff out of the way.  Most of the cards are either Topps Now cards or Connor Wong cards.  I am getting closer to catching up.

It is kind of odd that through nine full seasons with the Astros, Alex Bregman did not have a five-hit game, but just a few games into his time with the Red Sox, he did it for the first time.  It was a game against the Rays that the Red Sox won 7-4.  Among his five hits were a double and two home runs.  He scored two runs and drove in four.

On April 26, Jarren Duran stole home.  It is apparently the third steal of home in his career.  I am not sure of that personally, but have no reason to doubt it.  It was a straight steal of home off Cleveland pitcher Doug Nikhazy.  The next day, Romy Gonzalez stole home in a double steal.  Boston won this game 7-3.

5.  2022 Panini Immaculate Jumbo Hats Brand Logo.  Here we have the New Era logo on a card.  This is serial-numbered to just two.  This is, to date, the last really big Connor Wong buy I have made.  There are a few more Wongs coming, but this was kind of the last one of the player collection focus.  I will still continue to get cards of him, but I am starting to feel like he might not be in Boston much longer.

I am closing things out with this Alex Verdugo card that was thrown in as a freebie with the above Wong.  There were also cards of Jeter Downs and Mookie Betts, but I had both of those.  This seller apparently wanted to remind me of the Betts trade.
