At first glance, I thought there may be more in the BASEball lot for the 2019 Topps Chrome base set and that it may join the ranks of sets I push to finish at some point in the next how many years, but it was almost half duplicates - still about 40% of the 204 card set, but not enough of a like to collect it since it is so much like the flagship set I am collecting anyway.
Happy for a bunch of Jays including duplicates though. I like that the Pillar almost looks like it's facing down on him falling into an abyss....more so with the Chrome and the way the finish darkens the front scan.
As for the rest, just some samples to show since the set is very much in line with the flagship set mentioned for 2019.
Shouldn't be a surprise that the set, instead of 200 cards, was bumped to 204 cards with the last four being some little known rookie guys at the time with Vladdy, Jiminez, Tatis Jr. and Alonso. I can understand why the need to expand and gather it was a case of already having the 200 card set with the last four being added late in the production run.
I really like this set, but came up short in my attempt to build it. I ended up buying it for a little more than two blasters at the time.
