More Boys In Blue

 We continue going through the Jays sent my way by Oren, and the odds and sods as it were.


Frank Thomas is the only Jay in the 20th Anniversary Upper Deck set, so a nice one and done there. We have through the post today a number of archives cards, which always get a bit confusing to me as I don't like having to squint at copy right days, and sometimes it's a bit more difficult to figure which set cards are from. Sure, the stat years on the back help, but sometimes they are retro inserts and not even from an Archive set.

That complaint aside, many of the re-done designs do look really good.


Some solid inserts with Stars of the MLB and the Home Run Challenge. The 2003 Topps Total Cash card is silver parallel which I didn't know there was since I don't see much Topps Total cards to begin with.


Here's an example of different sets looking the same - The Yamaguchi card looks identical to the other cards here, but it's actually an insert from 3 years earlier.

Snider is another nice one off Jays "set".

A couple more Biggio cards for the collection are a good way to end the bunch.

Awesome additions all around, but I may have saved the "hits" for last....tomorrow. :)

  1. Could be wrong, but I think in hobby boxes of Topps Total there was one silver parallel per pack. Glad it was something new for you!
