I also got a couple fat packs of 2015 Prizm football, which contained a 3-card pack of Red, White, & Blue Prizms.
The regular packs contained these cards:
I never liked Deion Sanders, but I love those old Falcons uniforms.
The Prizm parallel is always the third card.
The rookie is always the fourth/last card. No Packers in these packs :(
I don't know where Jon Pennysleeves ran off to, but I picked a pair of Panini Classics blasters because he's raved about the set. I'll wait to discuss those until he's around.
Back to the 2018 Topps blasters. I was able to add 40 cards to my set build - and a whole bunch of tradebait inserts.
Future Stars, including a pair of Julio Urias.
Legends in the Making. The Washington delegation was strong here (hold that thought). I got two Michael Conforto - a blue and a black - but no base. That's kind of interesting.
1983 Topps inserts, including a pair of Sox, a blue Gary Sanchez (not SN #/d) and a black Richard Urena (SN #/d to 299.)
Another Raffy Devers, another Ohtani, and a Cutch Home Run Challenge. If it seems like I have a lot of inserts here, that's because there were either two or three in every pack. Is that normal? I always forget.
Here's the rest of the inserts. There were 13 Yankees, including all 8 Aaron Judges. Not counting those, there were still too many Yanks. Especially Gray and Chapman :/
Would you like to see what was in the two Independence Day packs at the top of this post?
Here's that manufactured patriotism in all its old glory:
Yep, I pulled two Ryan Zimmermans (Zimmermen?) And the "patch" on the second card is a little off-center. #Murica
I've got a bunch of blog posts in the works, including part two of my Christmas In July break, so whatever escapes my brain first will be posted this Saturday.
Have a happy (and safe) Fourth of July everyone! Go watch Stranger Things!

Woo-Hoo for ST3!
ReplyDeleteBoo to collation for you pulling two Zimmermen.
Happy 4th!

Hopefully I can trade my extra flag to a collector of Zimmermen, lol. I hope to finish ST3 this weekend, before I accidentally stumble onto any spoilers. :/
DeleteIt annoys me to no end that Topps felt collectors needed another 30 card Aaron Judge set in this years Series 2...
ReplyDeleteHe's in 2019, too? Sheesh. I know Gleyber Torres has his own insert set. Not Mike Trout though?
DeleteClassics... and Prizm! If you're trying to make me jealous, it's working :)
ReplyDeleteOverall, I think that the Prizm packs that you got earlier in the year might've been a little better, but these still had a couple of solid base cards (Bradshaw and Brady), and that RWB Elway is pretty great. It's kind of hard to believe that you weren't able to get a single Packer though?
Lol, I'm so out of sync with football sets that I only know about these sets from your blog.
DeleteI'm so bad at pulling Packers! And you're right, the previous Prizm packs were much better. The Classics break was good to me though. I'll post that on Monday or Tuesday.
Zimmerman hot box! Dude... Stranger Things was awesome! That was my favorite season so far.
