Cards & Categories Ep. 8 – New Topps Releases, Surprising Top 100 Hitters

Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer have launched a pod, Cards & Categories, to discuss baseball from card collecting and fantasy angles!

In our eighth episode, we open with discussion on Shohei Ohtani’s injury and the Angels waiver wire bonanza along with the recent updates on the White Sox shooting and (once again) Julio being Julio. We then talk about three new Topps product releases – 2023 Pristine, 2023 Cosmic Chrome, and 2023 Chrome Logofractor Edition (29:30). Finally, we close out with reviewing six surprising Top 100 fantasy hitters (1:00:09).
