I Busted A Blaster Of 2013 Topps Today. Come Check Out Every Single Card From The Box!!!
I had been reading tons of blog posts and Tweets about people busting packs and boxes of 2013 Topps baseball cards for the last few days and I wanted to get in on the fun.
Since Monday, I have been stopping at the Wal-Mart that is conveniently located between my son’s school and my workplace.
Monday, nothing.
Tuesday, na-da.
Wednesday, hallelujah!!!
They had them in stock this morning, and I grabbed the first blaster that I laid eyes on!!
For those of you that are not aware, each blaster contains 10 packs with 8 cards per pack. There is also a bonus pack that contains one Manufactured Rookie Card Patch.
And now, on to the box break!!!
Enjoy the show.
Pack 1 – The Brandon Phillips card is pretty sweet. Nice Todd Frazier too…
Pack 2 – The McCutchen mini is awesome. I need to learn who AJ Ramos of the Marlins is.
Pack 3 – Seeing Gaby Sanchez in a Pirates uniform still feels weird… Nice Skaggs rookie card!
Pack 4 – Loving the Lou Brock! And it is nice to see a Marlins player on a League Leader card.
Pack 5 – Verlander!! The Chasing The Dream cards are neat, I need to see the full checklist for that subset.
Pack 6 – A-Rod, Kershaw 1972 Topps mini, and a Blue-bordered Zambrano, not too bad…
Pack 7 – Kershaw base!!
Pack 8 – Great action pic of Longo. And a pretty sweet Donnie Baseball too!!
Pack 9 – The Orioles Wild Card is nice. And it is great seeing Heath Bell not wearing a Marlins uniform… The 1972 Gwynn mini is a really nice looking card.
And the Matt Cain Die-Cut ‘Cut To The Chase’ card is fantastic!!
Pack 10 – The base card of Andrew McCutchen is nice, but for me this pack is all about REGGIE!!!
And my Manufactured Rookie Card Patch Bonus Pack…
Not a bad pull of ‘Mr. Cub’ Ernie Banks!!!
Busting this box was a lot of fun. And while I did not end up nabbing any of the rookie cards that I hoped to pull, I had a great time tearing through all ten of the packs. Something tells me that I am not going to be happy with just one of these boxes…
The cards look fantastic – they are very vivid in color, have great action photography, and offer a nice glossy finish!!
If you see anything you want/need for your sets or team and player collections let me know. Many of these are available for trade.
Congratulations to Topps!! The 2013 collecting season is off to a great start!!!
As always, since i am sure you are keeping the Marlins, I am interested in any Pirates you do not want. Great box Brian!
Ron- The McCutchen cards have been claimed, but you can have the rest of the Pirates. I am planning on builing the Marlins team set so those are staying with me… Thanks.
ok tyvm.
I would be interested in the Cain die cut and the Romo blue parallel if they are for trade. Which rookies are you looking for, I may have some as I busted a couple blasters and a Jumbo box. Anything else you might be looking for?
LMK, Adam
Adam- You’ve got a deal. I’m looking for any/all Marlins cards that I don’t have as well as HOFers that are featured in the subsets. Guys like Aaron, Bench, Reggie, etc.
Any Orioles/Nationals or McCutchens you don’t want, I’ll gladly take them off your hands!
Matt- You’v got it! I pulled a decent amount of both teams. And 2 McCutchens for you as well…
I wouldn’t mind the Kershaw mini and Choate blue parallel.
Night Owl- We can do that! Got any spare Marlins?
I could use the two Rangers blue parallels. I have Josh Johnson and Adam Greenberg blue parallels I could send you.
Play At The Plate- That works for me!
Can you send my your address again?
Play At The Plate- Email sent. Thanks.
I’ve got a mini Giancarlo Stanton for you, I know that!
Night Owl- We have a deal.
Any interest in trading the Mattingly, Brian? Let me know what I can look for swapping!
Ryan- Consider it yours!!
That Banks is sweet, would you be interested in trading it for a Nolan Ryan manupatch from 2011 topps update?
Patrick- Thanks for the offer, but I’d rather have the Banks than the Ryan.
Ironically, today is both of their birthdays!’
