Unexpected Success

 Today, the second pack of cards from the 2021 Panini Prizm Draft Picks blaster, and we actually get an insert which I'm counting as a Toronto card - sweet and unexpected, but first - let's look at the backs of the base cards...

I get that with prospects, the stats may mean a little less, but I'd still rather have stats on the cards. I mean, we are lazy enough to reuse the photo from the front and use it again on the back, but then also slack on the stats - this is a good reason why Panini cards are not my jam.

Now, some of the 1,000 different parallels do look kinda cool like this green pulsar Pena. Still not collectible for me, but really does look nice.

We end with the surprise as I wasn't expecting anything in the box to be in my collecting wheelhouse, but the prospect is noted as a Toronto prospect and not associated with the minor league team itself, so let's count it! Simeon didn't last long enough in the Toronto organization to make it to the bigs with the Jays, but has play on and off for the Twins in Minnesota from 2022 to the current season.

A better pack than I was expecting to come out of this blaster - let's hope the good times keep coming!
