Another Blaster of 2018 Topps Big League

It's inoffensive, it's new, it's cheap, so I got more.

I'm not head-over-heels in love with this set, but its simplicity, and its mid-2000s-esque feel, has won me over, and it's definitely worth buying more of.

Pack 1-
336- CAL RIPKEN JR.
382- Adeiny Hechavarria
340- Jim Palmer. ORIOLES LEGENDS HOT-PACK
296- German Marquez
56- Wil Myers
115- Dexter Fowler. Dupe
27- Patrick Corbin. Dupe
360- Landmarks card of McCovey Cove in AT&T Park. I love this subset.
390- Jedd Gyorko. Hey, remember where I ripped 2 blasters of ZERO CARDINALS? I wish I was there.
322- Leaders Gold Parallel

Pack 2-
332- Roger Clemens. I still don't think steroid abusers belong in Legends portions of current sets
176- Lucas Duda
116- Walker Buehler rookie. Hey, that's a nice one. I don't know what he'll be doing once he gets off the DL though. Rotation's pretty crowded
13- Chris Archer
150- MIKE TROUT
187- Matt Kemp, Comeback Player of the Year. Dupe though
184- Lorenzo Cain. Dupe
42- Hector Neris. ...why does HE get a base card? Nobody in Philly likes him.
132- Kevin Kiermaier
368- GLEYBER TORRES Gold Parallel. NICE ONE! VERY NICE INDEED!

Pack 3-
358- Ballpark Landmarks of THE GREEN MONSTER. VERY NICE.
92- Eric Hosmer
105- NEWLY-TRADED MANNY MACHADO. I'm gonna miss seeing him in Baltimore.
39- Dansby Swanson. Dupe
241- Justin Turner. Dupe
167- Jack Flaherty. Dupe
113- RHYS HOSKINS RC. Hell of a performance in the Home Run Derby
30- Andrew Miller
1- ALL RISE Aaron Judge Nicknames subset. I approve of this one
328- Leaders Gold Parallel

Pack 4-
320- Leaders
158- Chris Davis. I guess he's Baltimore's flagship guy now? Good gosh.
17- Eric Thames. This card looks awesome.
211- Kendrys Morales
291- Brian Anderson
88- Russell Martin
230- Adrian Beltre
239- Jon Gray and his uncontrollable strikeouts
MINISTERS OF MASH insert of Bryce Harper. After the HRD, that's warranted
86- Ken Giles Gold Parallel

Pack 5-
380- Dylan Bundy
310- Leaders
99- Jose Abreu
232- Marco Estrada
276- Andrew Benintendi. NICE SHOT HERE
110- Richard Urena
148- Dustin Pedroia
201- Cole Hamels
270- Jose Iglesias
37- JD MARTINEZ Gold Parallel

Blue Pack-
78- Brad Ziegler
86- Ken Giles. Dupe
301- Leaders
295- Zack Cozart


Wellllll, not quite as noteworthy as the first blaster, but this is still a charming-ass product, and has some definite high-points to it.
