Yesterday, I ripped the first half of the first (of two) 2015 Stadium Club birthday blasters. Tonight, it's time to rip the second half of that first blaster.
Blaster 1:
Pack 5:
72. Madison Bumgarner
202. Stephen Strasburg
269. Angel Pagan
277. Oswaldo Arcia
Member's Only parallel: 27. Carlos Santana
Woah! The Member's Only parallels are an incredibly tough pull, especially in retail blasters! According to the pack wrapper, they are seeded 1 in 512 packs!! I would have liked to see something more than just a stamp to indicate the rarity of the card, but even so, getting something that rare is always fun (and unexpected) out of a blaster!
Pack 6:
119. Pedro Alvarez
153. Mark McGwire
181. Alcides Escobar
190. Stan Musial
Luminous: T-6C. Anthony Rendon
The Luminous cards are also fairly rare in retail (1:32 packs). I like the Triumvirate insert set a lot though Topps has yet to put any Reds in their Triumvirate set so for the most part I've never actually tried to collect the full set. I also like the Stan Musial base card quite a bit - notice the Stan the Man banner behind Musial! What a great photo!
Pack 7:
36. Frank Robinson
96. Jonathan Papelbon
186. Lou Gehrig
289. Danny Santana
293. Trevor May
This is the first time that I've seen that Frank Robinson card - and it's awesome! I don't know the story behind the newspaper headline though, do you?
Pack 8:
14. Mark Teixeira
80. Andrew Heaney
174. George Springer
224. Kendall Graveman
Contact Sheet: CS-21. Joey Votto
Wooo! We end this amazing blaster with an insert of the Reds' first baseman. I don't think I could have hand picked a much better blaster (at least one without an autograph). I've got a second blaster ready to bust as well but for now I need to stop typing (and ripping packs) and start scanning cards!
I do think I'll be chasing the full 2015 Topps Stadium Club set...so if you have any base cards for trade, let me know! Hopefully by the time this post goes live I'll have a better handle on which cards I actually need.
