2014 Topps Opening Day


This is pretty much the only new pack of baseball cards that you can buy with pocket change. With an increasing number of inserts, a few packs of this stuff can go a long way if you're looking for some trade bait. I've never been totally sold on its necessity, but I do like more and more what you can get for your buck.


179 - Johnny Cueto - Like the past 4 years, the 2014 offering has the same design with plain grey replacing the foil from the base cards.


71 - Jordan Zimmermann


2 - Dustin Pedoria - He has a face of a middle infielder who likes to get dirty.


ODS-17 - Dustin Pedroia Opening Day Stars - I am a big fan of this insert set, year after year. I want them all.


42 - Mariano Rivera - We've already seen this card a bunch from the base set, but like most of the cards they duplicated the photo for the Opening Day brand and gave the card Mo's uniform number.


186 - Jonathan Schoop - Schoop. Schoop-a-Doop. Schoop-a-Doop.


87 - Jayson Werth - Check it out, guys! Bryce is shooping!

  1. A lot to like here.

    A little Salt N' Pepa reference, a nice little lenticular 3D insert card to fawn over, a giant Pepsi logo that dominates the Rivera card.

    It's like the mini-meals at McDonald's but for cards!
