Seeing Red

 I would normally say that this was a good card...


but today, it's a symbol of the pack. All dupes,. even Mr. Red, which is a frustrating showing of collation and how it can end up working against a collector.


Packs that are basically identical, though picked up many months or miles apart.

Yeah - let's just leave it at that today.

5 Packs, 35 Cards, 69 Points.

  1. A's hot pack. Nice. Laureano is my favorite Athletic right now. Sure hope he bounces back in 2021.

  2. It's tough with dupes. I see the same thing across Topps and Panini from time to time. Almost exactly the same packs. So frustating...and why don't we get duplicate packs with Trout or Acuna? Never works that way

    1. No, definitely doesn't work that way....unfortunately.

  3. Wow. I really lost track of Upton's career.

    Anyway, I like the Mr. Red card. Not sure what to think about Pujols as an Angel. He's been with them too long for it to count as a wrong team. But he was a lot better as a Cardinal.

    1. Agreed - too long to be a "wrong team" feeling...but still preferred as a Cardinal.
