2023 Topps Update Baseball Forum

Picked up a 2023 Topps Update Super Box from Target yesterday (https://www.target.com/p/2023-topps-mlb-update-series-baseball-trading-card-super-box/-/A-90011103). In it there are a couple of cards that I believe are specific to this package, and I'm not sure if they should be a separate set/variation on tcdb or not. Or maybe they are and I'm not finding them. The 2 I have are below:

1. Bryce Miller US178: Everything looks the same as the normal card (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/386246/cid/22792296/2023-Topps-Update-US178-Bryce-Miller), however this card is loose behind the Super size card in the packaging, and had a different code (CMP069965) than the base.
2. Gunnar Henderson US18 Super size, one per pack, ~8" x 5", code is CMP069964.

Thanks,

Matt

looks like a variation on the Costco box, 10x packs +

oversized + oversized companion

+ silver packs, which at Costco were something called the "Flagship Collection"

in this box you get a pin

I wonder if this Target box means we will see a Super Walmart box? or a Super Walgreens box?

Series 1 had collector’s boxes with oversize cards and companion cards. They were listed as insert sets, but you could tell the companion cards because the words in the “home plate” box said “Collector’s box” https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/359490/2023-Topps---Collector's-Box-Companion-Cards

But it appears all these companion cards are the same except the code - much more difficult to tell.

The oversize cards are another insert set listed here https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/358158/2023-Topps---Oversized-Cards

Looks like a similar checklist needs to be compiled and created for Update.

I found one of these in the wild yesterday. Disappointing that the companion cards are identical to the base cards. At least the Costco boxes had some variation. 

Anymore of these boxes come out and we should be able to generally refer to them as Super Overkill boxes.

Wow the Companion Card having zero distinction is really..sad. Blatant way for Topps to say "hey, buy this because it has an exclusive!" and make literally zero effort for their profits. Haven't felt this way about them since collecting again a year ago despite all the different sets and variations, but this one just stinks. It's minor in the grand scheme sure but ugh.

I purchased a Wal Mart Update Super Box today. I did not find any Checklists for the Pins, Oversize, or Silver Pattern Foilboards. Have they been created anywhere? Also, is there a Checklist for the Companion Cards with different Code?

The Foilboard is here: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCollection.cfm/sid/388041?Filter=&sTeamID= but the others need to be created.

Oversized companion cards that are identical to the base cards are no different than what was done in the 90s, 00s and 10s across different sports and companies. So not overkill, long-standing precedent in place.

The Super Box is a smaller Set. 50 I believe it says. The codes on the back may be different than the full Set.
