Here were the most interesting cards.
Something about those 70's A's uniforms that I love. Great shot of Mr. October.
Obama and Mr. Cub.
Here is Moose laying out for a catch.
Fernando Mania in full effect. This is probably in my top 5 for the set.
Adam Jones getting the walk off pie treatment during a post game interview.
Nothing really special about the Josh Harrison, but it was my lone Pirate base card.
I'm a huge Greinke fan. The guy takes all aspects of the game super serious and demands perfection from himself. While I'm sure he doesn't need the motivation having Kershaw on the team helps drive you even more. Just a cool card of a pitcher batting. Grienke is probably telling the bench he doesn't want to bunt.
I was really happy to see this card. The Triumvirates are great cards by themselves, but pulling a Pirate made it extra cool.
I guess as far as insert sets go this is an ok card. Easy to get overshadowed by the base cards and the Triumvirates.
Have to end with Cutch. I miss the dreads.
The funny thing about these two blasters is that the /25 Larry Doby and the inserts were all pulled from the same box. You never really walk away too unhappy with TSC anyway, because the base cards are the main attraction.
Did you see Grienke's bat flip on that homer? Too funny. He learned that from Puig, I bet.
ReplyDeleteNice to pull Pirates for two of those inserts - I agree that the main event is the base card photography.
Actually he picked it up during his time as a Brewer, they encouraged bat flips because the Brewers advocate fun.
DeleteNicely done with the Pirates inserts! This is definitely one of the best sets this year.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had only bought that first box I opened. It was perfect!
DeleteAwesome Doby parallel! It's one of my favorite cards from the set. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see it. Such a great looking card!
DeleteGreat box. Congratulations on pulling two Pirates inserts for your collection. And I totally agree... those 70's A's uniforms are amazing.
ReplyDeleteAlmost as good as the Pirates......almost.
