Continued Goodness

 This blaster of 2022 Topps Opening Day baseball has been solid so far, especially being a Jays fan, and I get to knock off another Jays base dupe need today, along with a bunch of other new for me cards.


Well, if you are going to get a Triple Play insert card, the Yankees are about as good a team to get as you can. Now, how many people go the route of actually separating these into three different cards? No way I am doing it, but I would say that for my own Jays collection, I'd love to have both - one not separated, and a set of the three cards separated.

What we won't see separated is Vladdy from Toronto. A nice pick up for card number 220 in the base set (Ohtani was number one - go figure). I like how they don't even bother showing a crown for the Marlins Opening Day insert which is likely a reflection on the size of the crowd that showed up for the game that day - unfortunate, but true.

Not too much more I can hope for in this blaster as a Jays fan. Maybe a couple more base cards to round things out, but it's been solid and we are only about half way through.

  1. If I came across duplicates of the Triple Play inserts, I'd consider separating them for my player and team collections. But only if they were cheap... like in a quarter bin or something.

    1. Agreed - would feel wrong doing it if it was a few bucks, but in a quarter box, for sure.
