2014 topps update hanger pack - the first of three topps update purchases

last wednesday, i bought three packages of 2014 topps update at the local target store.  they were three different varieties of packages, and the first one i will share is the hanger pack.  here's what i found inside the 36-card pack.

dodgers  first:

adrian gonzalez power players insert
a nod to inserts of the late 1990's/early 2000's

scott van slyke
second straight year that van slyke gets the update treatment. i am quite disappointed that his card does not feature a photo of him standing for the national anthem in the 2013 nlcs.

non-dodger inserts:

nick castellanos the future is now
david wright 1989 mini die-cut
i pull a lot of david wright cards it seems.

giancarlo stanton all-star game access
surely there was a better photo of the home run derby champion available to topps.

base:

steven vogt
jd martinez
eduardo escobar
nick punto
chris denorfia
cole gillespie
jake odorizzi
jerome williams
chad qualls
mookie betts
brandon cumpton
eduardo nunez
justin masterson
kendrys morales
john lackey
maarcus stroman rookie debut
oscar taveras rookie debut
matt shoemaker
hector rondon
jon singleton
kyle seager asg
derek jeter asg
devin mesoraco asg
giancarlo stanton asg
ronald belisario
john baker
adrian beltre asg
adam jones asg
chris martin
jason hammel
glen perkins asg
the hometown closer closing out the all-star game was a nice story.  the twins needed a nice story in 2014.

up next, the value box.
