For those that might be wondering, my great reorganization is (slowly) moving along. I have sorted about one quarter of all my stacks of "random cards" into yearly stacks. That part is the worst! Once the cards are sorted by year, it's a lot more fun to then decide which sets to collect and which sets to scrap. I also found a few other long-forgotten goodies that I'll probably offer up here for trade and/or make available for sale on eBay or Listia.
However, at the moment I'm not quite ready to make any such declarations - so let's return to the 2013 Topps Chrome box (you know, so I have even more cards to sort)...
Pack #17:
2. Hunter Pence
185. Kevin Youkilis
216. Pablo Sandoval
188. Refractor: Martin Prado
Two Giants, a Yankee, and a Diamondback refractor. Yeah, this pack was pretty much crap.
Pack #18:
127. David Price
138. Yasiel Puig
I pretty much had to get this card in the box if I was going to have any shot at completing the set! Obviously I'm happy to have it now!
162. Donald Lutz
It's a Red! Woo.
168. Xfractor: Alex Rodriguez
If I have to get a card of A-rod, it might as well be one of the nice XFractor parallels. Actually, this really isn't a bad card (though I will have no qualms about trading it away and/or selling it for a small profit)!
The second pack sure saved this post, didn't it?! Only six packs remain which is sad - I'm really enjoying the Chrome set (probably in part because I didn't buy any of the regular flagship cards so the design isn't over-played yet for myself). I should still have one more autograph lurking in the box - let's hope it's better than the first one!
If you're trading the A-Rod I'd love to trade for it.
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of Chrome dupes if you are trying to complete the set. Email me with a list of your needs when you finish breaking the box and I'll see what I can do for you:
