I said I wouldn't, but I did.

Like the title says, I did something that I said I would not do. I grabbed to boxes of 2016 Topps Update this week, hanger 72 card boxes. I wasn't going to get any Topps boxes this year, but for some reason the urge took over. I looked at the 102 card box for 19.99, and said to myself why would I do that when I can get 144 for the same money.

What I thought I do (after I brought the 2 boxes) home, was to compare them. The base cards for the most part are what they are. I will say that I only had 2 dupes between the two boxes. Leaving us with just the "special" cards inside.


First box:

Second box:

Either way as I don't collect them.


1st box:

Keeper.


2nd box:

I probably should start keeping this guys cards, but not a keeper for now.

BOX 1 leading.


1st box:

Keeper.


2nd box:

Already in Brian's stack.

Box 1 up 2/0.



1st box:

Definitely.

2nd box:

A keeper too, but Yount is the clear winner for me.


3/0



1st box:

Foil, nada.


2nd box:

Foil, again nothing to me, tie.


1st box:

SP Rookie photo variation.  Not a keeper.



2nd box:

I didn't see any SP variations in this box, but it did have 4 Braves compared to ZERO in the first box. So I'll take these over the SP for the 2nd boxes only win.


There we have it. 3 to1 Box 1 wins.

Have a great weekend!

A Trade Post

These cards come in via the SuperTraders P-Town Tom.

Just highlighting 5 scans as Tom sent about 200 cards. All Braves.

As far behind as I am, you know I haven't checked these against my lists, but one day I will, LOL.

Nice variety of players and Brands.

New and older.

And even an autograph!  Thanks Tom, I'll be working on a mess of SuperTraders stuff in the coming weeks.

A Zapping

Kenny of Zippy Zappy zapped me, sending a nice stack of Braves. I highlighted a few for you before the game tonight.

Die cut SP.

A little shiny.

With a name like Stiffler and that look on his face, you know this guy was razzed quite a bit as a kid. Other than American Pie movies can't say I've heard of that last name.

Think this guy will start somewhere next year? He was so hyped (before he got into trouble, the Braves had no choice but to dump him.

A little Gold.

Awesome Aaron!

Closing out with vintage,  thanks Kenny!
