Yesterday I decided to head to the Target by my office on lunch. I'd resisted the urge for a couple of days to see if I could find any of the Heritage packs but I could no longer. I've seen pack searchers in there before so I never have anticipation of finding a hit in any packs that I buy, and expectations are always low.
I like the concept of just adding to the Heritage set released earlier. What I'd like even more is a legitimately old-school six or seven series set. I'm allowed to dream.

You don't see it on the back of this card, but I do like how many of the backs reference the 2017 season.

For those unaware, the codes on the back will tell you if the card is a short print. Per Beckett, these are the codes (look at the last two numbers of the number on the last line of the card):
• Base (#501-700) – 23
• Base Short Prints (#701-725) – 33
• Action Image Variations – 48
• Team Color Swap Variations – 49
• Errors Variations – 45
• Traded Variations – 46
• Throwback Variations – 47

Per Beckett the 1968 Game Rookies cards are exclusive to packs from Target. I'm sure the red back is no coincidence.

The Mariners in that pack sure are a dud. Smyly has been injured the whole season and Boog Powell was traded back in August. I can't blame Topps for not having time to replace Powell.
ReplyDeleteA few interesting looks. Love Rajai's cheeky smile.
ReplyDeleteWhite Sox hot pack!
ReplyDeleteThe backdrop on Mike Pelfrey's card sure is a strange one. It's more suitable for Swamp Thing than a baseball player.
ReplyDeleteOk..I'm in love with Austin Hedges! lol
