It's time for another one of these packs, and next on the pile is a pack of 2015 Topps Update Series. Like my pants after Thanksgiving dinner, it's a good thing this pack is already open to accommodate some extra girth. You'll see what this means soon enough.
No, I didn't mix up my photo files, these are 2018 Topps Update Series cards emerging from the 2015 pack. At some point in the past several years, these cards made it into the 2015 wrapper, along with the actual 2015 cards. It's a cozy fit in there, but they're making it work. No cards are complaining about anyone hogging the armrest.
US161 Seranthony Dominguez, US117 Kyle Martin, US96 Tyler Clippard, US52 Justin Anderson / Michael Hermosillo
Four horizontal cards to start things off, kind of weird.
PO-18 Mariano Rivera Postseason Preeminence
It's an educated guess as to the name of this insert, it's really hard to read with the player blending into the text, especially with the pinstripes.
#S-5 Bo Jackson Legendary All-Stars
Bo Jackson just always looks awesome in a Royals uniform.
The Santiago is a stealth Feces Smear parallel (unnumbered).
Now we get to the cards that were actually in the 2015 wrapper.
US340 Fernando Salas, US25 Byron Buxton, US54 Max Muncy / Tyler Ladendorf, US227 Mike Trout Checklist
Since I already have this complete set, maybe I'll put the Buxton and Muncy cards on eBay as a nice little rookie lot.
I don't remember this insert set, but it's an interesting one, basically a compilation of superstitions held by various players. Jim Palmer ate pancakes during every Orioles victory in the 1966 World Series, so he kept doing it throughout his career.
US16 John Axford, US346 Brandon Crawford, US66 Neftali Feliz, US211 Tommy Milone, US69 Zach McAllister
Twenty cards, three inserts, and a ton of fun, pretty good stuff for a DIY fat pack.
Voting for Palmer.
ReplyDeleteNice Bo though.
Another reminder that Muncy was once drafted by the A's.
