I'm going to do something different this time and increase the pack total to eight packs per post. In that way, it'll only take me three posts to get through a full box. If that's too much typing/scanning I'll scale back for the next box. We shall see. However, this post gets an extra scan because I start with the boxloader.
Box Topper:
This is my second Wonders of the World card - and at least the photo is quite a bit better than the first card I pulled. Victoria Falls is part of the Natural Wonders subset (along with the Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Mount Everest, Aurora, and Paricutin Volcano).
Pack 1:
We begin the box with a Palaces & Strongholds card of Peterhof Palace. I think it'd be awesome to visit all the various Palaces in this set...I think there are one or two that I have been to but most of them I have never seen (or even heard of in some cases)!
Pack 2:
This pack had a The First Americans card of the Pueblo in it which I like but I decided to scan the Grand Central Terminal because I LOVE stuff like this in the regular base set. I greatly missed the super oddball stuff in the some of the recent years so I'm happy to see Topps returning to their roots so to speak.
Pack 3:
This is a pretty gruesome card for a pack of baseball cards, don't you think?
Pack 4:
It's a bit odd that I have yet to get an A&G back short print (seeded 1:65 you'd expect one by the third box).
Pack 5:
Two good cards in this pack. One was a One Little Corner card of Makemake. The other was a black bordered mini of Brett Lawrie. I scanned the slightly rarer of the two.
Pack 6:
The first hit out of box #3 is my second Braves' relic of the case. This time, it's a much nicer framed relic of Tim Hudson (and I like the dark blue). Between the Kimbrel and this, it's an easy choice which I like better (hint: always pick the framed relic)!
Pack 7:
Pack 7 had a Mike Moustakas A&G back card but the highlight for me is the Alhambra palace. The back of the card has the phrase "vintage video gamers" on it which was unexpected!
Pack 8:
We end the first third of box #3 with a nice Reds' mini card of Bronson Arroyo. The horizontal framing of the card works well given the photo that Topps used. Well done - and a decent start to the third box.
