Getting Tekkie

 A couple more Topps offerings from the BASEball lot today - one I know and one that's new to me.

Apparently a lot of Cubs on offer from Topps Chrome here. A bit unusual but must be a reason, still, quite the bunch. I like the Seager dive in the chrome offering, very cool. Chrome, I know, but High Tek...nope...

If you like differing designs, this is a set for you. Seem to be a base pattern with a couple variations on offer for the cards, and thn you can get into a number of different effects for parallels. I mean, it's not as bad as some offerings out there, but the metallic look definitely goes with the High Tek name for the set.

I'll have to look at whether I should consider the different base designs as "variations" or not, but the effect, like on Ted Williams, are definite parallels. By the way, I can't get over the complete contrast of having Ted Williams, a player of years gone by, on a card that is designed like it's from the far distant future in comparison. Just doesn't work to me. Don't get me wrong, love having the card for sake of Ted being on a parallel I get to keep is a plus, but it's not a card I ever would have said I'd need to see exist.
