First of the Year

You know what I have yet to do this year, and we are more than two months into? Rip something open from the card stash. With the BASEball lot, I've had plenty to search through and sort, and have fun with, but I do want to open a few products this year from the stash as it will just continue to grow and grow if I don't.

I don't expect this will be a super long list this year, or at least until later this year as I do want to keep working through the BASEball lot, but I do like putting some variety into the mix of cards and stuff I go through on the site.

Similar to last year, I'll log my openings and see what hits and what misses, and what my goodies of the year are, but we can start simple with a reminder of how I score unopened stuffs...

The set was released in 2020, and if memory serves, this is a booster I picked up for $4.43 CDN at Chapters when they still had such products, and at that price it was still a fine buy as they hadn't yet increased the card prices. Side note - that is still the price these boosters go for on 401games, so not a set that went up a lot in price yet, even almost 4-5 years out now (usually there is a slight bump starting if there are enough decent cards in a set).

As I want to do with Magic cards especially, we can also look at this pack and see if it was then worth me opening, once we see what I end up with inside.

There are a few artifact cards I am missing, so that would be fantastic, but let's take a look...


The Makindi Ox is the Showcase version which acts like a base variant, though numbered outside the "regular" base set and which here, has a great photo to it.


Nothing in the uncommons for me or the land/token slots either, but at least there was one keeper artifact card, even if a common...


Would have cost me a whole 35 cents to buy this, or any other card in the pack....except the mythic card which I picked up...

Now, this does nothing for my collection, but it is a $50 card so the pack was well worth opening. It won't score well as a pack because I only have one keeper for my collection, but if I can sell the card for $40 - it does well to get my $5 back and a few bucks to put back into the hobby, so definitely not a waste of a pack!
