Packs That Just Showed Up #6

My archive of posts tells me that the last time I wrote about one of these packs it was July.  If you want to refamiliarize yourself with the origin of this series, here's the link.

This time around we have another pack of 2019 Topps Series 1 Baseball.  Will cards from the correct set be inside?  Will there actually be 16 cards, as the wrapper promises?  It's always an iffy proposition with these.

#231 Joc Pederson, #51 Michael Brantley, #304 Michael Lorenzen
Let's see, Pederson just signed a deal with the Rangers, Brantley retired last January, and Lorenzen reportedly might hit and pitch for the White Sox, though nothing is official yet.
#59 Zack Godley, #179 Jackie Bradley, Jr., #335 Ervin Santana
All landscape format cards.  Odd.
#99 Aroldis Chapman 150 Years of Baseball Parallel
Is it snowing in this picture?
#SSB-100 Kyle Tucker Stars of the Game
#RA-9 Ronald Anuca, Jr. Ronald Acuna, Jr. Highlights
I don't know what else to call this insert set.  Redundancy required.
#202 Sweet Life Checklist, #347 Kirby Yates, #189 Khris Davis, #130 Blake Snell
#39 Richard Urena, #10 Clayton Kershaw, #38 Kolby Allard
Of these last six player cards, only Snell and Kershaw are officially attached to a 2025 MLB roster.  They'll both be on the Dodgers because the Dodgers get to have whoever they want on their team until the end of time.
 
That was a pretty decent pack, especially because it was free.

  1. 2019 Topps is one of my favorite Topps flagship designs from the past decade. I went a little crazy opening the stuff up... mainly because of Tatis Jr. Now if only he'd live up to the hype :D
