This morning, I ripped open the first two packs (plus the box topper) of my first (of four) hobby boxes of Topps Allen & Ginter's. Now, let's keep the party going with another two packs.
Pack 3:
24. Jorge Posada
36. Yadier Molina
51. Oswaldo Arcia
78. Zack Greinke
151. James Paxton
209. Vladimir Guerrero
Pastime's Pastimes: Mark McGwire
McGwire's pastime is listed as "family man." I learned from the card back that McGwire's wife had triplets which they names Marlo, Monroe, and Monet.
A&G back mini: 241. Dave Portnoy
I don't have any idea why Topps chose to put two bloggers from Barstool (or whatever it is called in their set). I had never heard of the blog - and I would like to think I'm fairly blog-savvy haven been writing my own blog for a long time now!
Pack 4:
11. Nick Franklin
128. Bill Rancic
174. Ben Zobrist
212. Doug Fister
217. Jose Iglesias
249. Aroldis Chapman
Pastime's Pastimes: Joe Morgan
Alright, back-to-back Reds including an insert. Morgan's pastime is listed as "broadcaster." No mention of the fire Joe Morgan website though.
Reg. mini: 15. Matt Williams
No hits yet but at least both packs provided me with some cards I liked. This year the set doesn't beat you over the head with advertisement cards for the Crack the Code competition either - in fact, I've yet to see one in my hobby box (each of the two blaster I bought had one in them though if memory serves correctly).
I've heard a bit about Barstool - some shit blog out there. I swear, someone must have paid to be in the set cuz why they would pick that craphole is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, could those be part of the code stuff this year??
