2016 Topps Opening Day

Greetings!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  The APTBNL offices aren't very populated these days; the staffers must be on vacation or something.  After helping my sister and brother-in-law move to their new house this afternoon, I figured I should take out the camera and put up a quickie post.  It's some 2016 Topps Opening Day!
Grabbed a pack since the Target had them on sale this week.  7 cards in a pack, let's see what I got:


OD-143 - Evan Gattis
OD-20 - Anthony Rizzo

Everyone's favorite Buddha posted a rack pack already (so I don't have to!), so there's no need to go into analysis for this release.  It's a 200-card set, and here's the checklist for those who are interested.
OD-8 - Russell Martin
M-6 - Mascot

Cool, a mascot!  They come 1 in every 5 packs.  Not sure why Topps couldn't say his real name, D. Baxter the Bobcat...perhaps they didn't want to offend their other mascot, because that could hurt.


OD-94 - Lucas Duda
OD-65 - Hector Rondon
OD-169 - Taylor Jungmann (Future Stars)

And there's some backs for you.

I'm pretty pleased with the camera pics, so maybe I'll keep this going.  I may have to limit this to 2 cards per shot, but the turnaround time is much faster when compared to using the scanner.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thanks for reading!

2016 Topps Opening Day Jumbo rack pack

 Ah it's right around the corner.  Baseball!  So why not celebrate with a nice big pack of Opening Day??!
 All of us know that Opening Day is just Topps lite.  Smaller checklist and the Opening Day logo.  Here's my lone Brewers card.

 And the rest of the base.
 The Horizontals
 And a few more that didn't fit on the scanner in the first round.
 I didn't end up getting one of those rare Opening Day hits or even a mascot card, but here are the three inserts I did get.





I always think it's kind of sad that I like the inserts from Opening Day better than those from the Topps Baseball.  There you go, nothing too exciting, but were only a little over a week away from the real Opening Day.
