Grand Slam again!

 Let's get this out of the way....My Braves lost their 2nd series of the year to the Nat's over the holiday weekend. Alrighty then. I'm over it moving on to more from that previously mentioned and posted trip to my LCS which should wrap up that visit. 

(I went again this weekend).



Another $20.00 grab was an opened box of these 2025's. Typically the hobby boxes sell between $139-150.00, so getting a slew of them was nice for a set build and some obvious prospecting. These are just the numbered parallels above.




More parallels, and yes that was an extra/dupe of the Brave.



Some of the inserts.



More inserts.



Finally.....more inserts. Overall I wound up with 3 Braves for my team sets, and 68 of the 200 card base set plus the inserts and parallels above. That to me was worth the twenty bucks, but that wasn't it all.....




Just the highlights as I grabbed another opened box of the 2026 USA Stars & Stripes that had about as many cards in it as the other box. Wound up with 73/200 base cards plus the other stuff. Again, definitely got my twenty bucks worth in this post. 

Hoping my Braves get back on a winning streak and finish the first half of the season strong.

    I'm back. I keep getting logged out every few days. I'm not sure why. Nice cards. I got a few from the 2024 Prospect set in an online purchase including a couple of Braves. They were all base cards. Enjoy the hobby all!

    Prepping for the Pros is a cool looking set. Ping! is unique.

    $20 well spent. Although I don't go out of my way to prospect, I do have some Team USA cards from a few years ago that I tucked away in a box. Gonna one day open it up to see if any of them ended up having a decent MLB career.

    Good luck to your Braves. Congratulations on last night's win. Both of my teams lost... again.

    Nice cards. The LCS that I go to doesn't have that type of selection of cards. Probably why I don't go very often. Plus, it's pretty overpriced. Every LCS around here is sealed wax, graded singles and high dollar chase cards.
