2019 Topps Holiday Baseball Mega Box Break & Review

Posted on December 17, 2019 by sportscardinfo

Hey look! My local Walmart finally got some 2019 Topps Holiday Baseball Mega Boxes. Walmart exclusive! I’ve been wanting to try a box. The Walmart here doesn’t have the best card section like some others do. In store, a box should cost around $20.

The 2019 Topps Holiday Baseball Mega Box set consists of (200) cards. Parallels include Metallic (1:2 packs), and Gold Metallic #’ed 1/1 (1:7,045 packs).

New for 2019 are the Base Short Print Variations. Its hard to believe that none of the past Holiday boxes have had these. There are three types that you can pull. Each can be identified by the CMP code on the back.

SP (1:7) – #063
Rare (1:20) – #064
Super Rare (1:161) – #065

Given that this is a holiday-themed set, all Base Short Print Variations have some type of holiday element added to them in addition to the holly berry border. Candy cane bats, Christmas socks, and Santa Claus hiding out in the background are all great examples of what you can find. My Base Short Print Variation was found upside down in the pack.

Housed inside each box are (10) packs. Among those packs there should be (1) relic, autograph, or autograph relic. My favorite hits are the Holiday Faux Relics. These cards feature fictional relics from Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Frosty The Snowman, and even the Workshop Elves. Cards like this always make interesting conversation pieces. I know a lot of people like to make fun of them. But imagine pulling one of these cards out around Christmas time. It would create a memory that would last a lifetime. Every holiday season you could bring it back out to display while remembering where you were, and who was around you when it happened.
