Why Does That Count?

 Let's do it - another two packs of 2022 Topps Opening Day baseball cards...


Well - A-Rod is definitely a polarizing figure. Regardless, the Bomb Squad is fitting, but how he did it and whether you agree with it, that's another matter. Appreciate the add to the insert collection though, even if I am not one of those that really likes the guy.

I much prefer Betts as far as Bomb Squad cards go, but my real question is the Topps Home Run advertisement card.

I don't mind these being inserted in packs, and I guess I will count it as an "insert", but I don't like that it actually counts as a card in this pack. I mean, it's more advertisement than card - why not treat it as an extra? Never been a fan of replacing actual card slots with ads like this, and feel a bit cheated by it, but that's not going to change anything unfortunately.

  1. Obviously not the same thing, but I'd be annoyed if I found 3 cards and an advertisement in a "4-card pack" of chrome.

  2. Reminds me of a guy who got the magnetic card in a pack break cause they claim that was a card & that slot on that box break on YouTube that's why I don't participate in many box breakers stuff cause of schnitzel like that

  4. Shame on Topps. No way that ad card should count.
