One of the biggest drawbacks to having a young baby (besides the whole no sleep thing and poopy diapers) is the near constant trips to Wal-Mart for this or that. That said, at least for now trips to Wal-Mart aren't quite so miserable because 2018 Allen & Ginter blasters are still on the shelves.
Yep, that's right - I bought another one on a recent shopping trip. It takes the sting out of forking over wads of cash for diapers...
Blaster #3:
Pack 1:
Rather than type up every card in every pack, I'll simply show off what I decide are the highlights. By now, I'm guessing that most people have seen plenty A&G base cards...but at least in this case I ended up with a nice Acuna Jr. rookie card.
For me though, the highlight has to be the mini: another Flags of Lost Nations card!
That's kind of a weird looking flag for Corsica - but it's definitely a cool card overall and a great start to the blaster. See, I'm forgetting about those expensive (soon to be poopy) diapers already.
Pack 2:
Pack 2 didn't offer a lot of interest to me - a Mike Trout World Talent card that I'm fairly certain I've already pulled two or three other times and this black bordered mini of yet another Cardinal.
I seem to have more "luck" pulling Cardinals black bordered minis than I do any other team. I haven't pulled a single Barry Larkin mini card (of any variety) for crying out loud.
Pack 3:
We keep the good times going with our second mini insert of the blaster.
That's one of the retail only Exotic Sports cards - and yes, I'm going to try and collect this set along with all of the other mini inserts (so I'll need your help)!
Pack 4:
We end the first half of the blaster with an A&G back mini short print of Cole Hamels. For those keeping track at home, that's four packs and four minis with scanning. Not bad at all!
I'm going to have a large list of Allen & Ginter trade bait up on the blog in the somewhat near future. That list will probably include a big chunk of my mini parallels (regular, A&G back, and black bordered).
That does it for the first half of the blaster...but I assure you the fun isn't over yet. In fact, as a bit of a "tease" for a future post, the second half of the blaster holds a hit! That's always a fun surprise when buying retail!
