2 Years down, but more to go and a nice pull

A small "yay me" for being here for two years officially. I had done a few posts before 2016 ahead of really going all out starting January 1, 2016. I like to have something up every day to share and have been doing that since the Jan 1 date (over 700 posts now...).

So, I thought why not open a pack of something a little different today, and maybe a few more packs this week before getting to the Toronto box come December 1st. By a little different for mean, I mean, something more recent. We will tackle some recent year Topps packs for the next few days which I hope you join me for. I figure there won't be much of these cards come December - those will likely be 80s and 90s goodness.

So today....


So let's see what we end up with...


Kyle apparently has a dislike for losing based on the back of this card...

At first I thought this may be a purposeful misprint, but on close inspection, and seeing backs that are perfectly fine online - looks like just a small misprint on the ink. Still - I'll take it for adding to my error binder regardless. Honestly, didn't expect I would be adding a card to that collection from the pack.


Definite star (all-star the last couple years)

Any time I see a card of his, all I can think is "I'm coo coo for cocoa puffs"


Just after leaving Toronto (just missing out on a Jay card...)



Decent thought for the card, but being a Jays fan, not a subject I am specifically thrilled with...would have rather the Jays win the division....


I should say that I do like the use of the base design, no surprise there though.

Last card out of the pack made me believe that the pack knew I was hoping it would be a special one for this occasion...

Wow. Clubhouse Collection packs fall one per 64 packs, so not the longest of odds, but getting Mike would make that a lot longer. Speechless on getting this, just lucky to have pulled this in general, let alone today.

Great pack on a great day, and thank you for everyone out there for following the blog, for initiating conversation, for any trades I have been able to do with you, and for being part of the great community!
