After a couple days away from my box, I'm ready to dig back into my 1998 Series 2 box of Collector's Choice. Today, it's time to start the middle third of the 36-pack box beginning with pack #13.
Pack 13:
394. Todd Hollandsworth
Is this a posed shot or one taken during a game or practice? I can't say for sure but I've tried to look into the reflection on Todd's glasses for clues. I don't see any fans in the stands so I'm guessing this one is a posed shot but better sleuths than me might be able to uncover more clues and arrive at a more definitive answer.
Pack 14:
352. Omar Vizquel
This pack had a Tino Martinez You Crash the Game insert but I chose to scan Vizquel's base card instead. That Indians hat the fan is holding screams the 1990s so loudly that I can hear it from here in the 2020s.
Pack 15:
StarQuest (Double): SQ27. Jaret Wright
The StarQuest insert set was tiered in Series 2 with each card having four versions (Single, Double, Triple, or Home Run). The Double cards are seeded 1:21 so there's a chance I could end up with two such parallels in my box.
Pack 16:
Mini Bobbing Head: 17. Mike Piazza
Definitely happy to see another Mini Bobbing Head show up (particularly because it's one that I didn't previously own). I do think I'll probably try to build this set to go along with the base set - it's such a novel idea and thus appealing to me as a collector!
That does it for this batch of packs - definitely a strong showing from this bunch! I'll have even more from the Collector's Choice box in future days, but for now I have another stack of cards to go sort.
Always my favorite brand growing up!
