FINALLY! A Blasterful of 2013 Topps Series 1

(To be read with Jon Facenda impression):
It comes in the cold of winter, in the snow, when all hope for tomorrow is mired. It comes in early February, when the leaves of September have faded away. It is every man's dream, every man's hopes, and the most glorious event of the year. It is...the release of 2013 Topps Series One.

Yeah I know there's a Super Bowl this weekend, but that can wait. My dad happened to grab a nice blaster full of the hottest item on the block, Series One. and I am pumped!

Let's check out the guaranteed patch card first:
Trevor Bauer, of the D-Backs. That's pretty nice. Since the card, he's been sent to Cleveland, where people hope him to turn the team around. I hope he does.

Pack One:
And the first card of 2013 is....
108- Kendrys Morales. Okay then. A card of a player no longer on his team. Alright then. Not bad, but not as good as last year's.
44- Anthony Rizzo. Pretty nice considering the season he had.
169- Brad Ziegler. I really, really love this design. I do. It's so freaking awesome. Photography is better too.
Chasing The Dream insert of Addison Reed. I kinda like these. They're cool.
245- Jason Isringhausen Red. He's still playing?
41- Daniel Hudson red. I like these red inserts, especially if they fit the team.
178- Justin Maxwell. I love that the 'Stros will be Orange instead of red. Much cooler color for them.
242- Matt Kemp. And, we get our first OMG star of the box. Which is nice.

Pack 2-
275- Johnny Cueto, coming off an awesome 2012
42- Tigers ALDS Game 5. I am calling this an Prince Fielder card, since he's featured prominently.
Annnd...A CUT TO THE CHASE INSERT OF JOSH HAMILTON! Those are rare, and that's awesome. I like this card design, too. Pretty sweet.
A 1972 mini of Tony Gwynn. I love these. Any unwanted minis from this year or last year Topps, shoot me an email
276- Luis Ayala Red
228- Aw, this one's awesome. Adrian Gonzalez RED! Doesn't match, but it's still A-GON as a Dodger! Night Owl got a ton of Yankees, so I probably got his box.
