2018 Topps National Baseball Card Day

 Happy National Baseball Card Day.  It wasn't that long ago that the hobby had a national trading card day that involved all the major manufacturers, but I'm not going to look free cards in the mouth.  If you are lucky enough to have a hobby shop near you, or like me thave two, you could stop in today and get a free pack of cards.  The packs are clear and you can see who is on top. A promo advertising card is on the back.  You can see the whole checklist over at the Trading Card Database.

This is the first Ohtani card I've pulled this year.  I really haven't been buying much product so that's no surprise and neither was this card since it was on top.   You get 5 cards per pack and there is a possibility of pulling an autograph.  Let's look at the rest.

 There was one card I was hoping to find and as luck would have it I pulled it.  Mr. Eric Thames.

 Here's the Update / Topps Holiday promo card.

 As a bonus if you made a purchase at the store you got one of these Aaron Judge cards.  On August 25th you can pick up the Rhys Hoskins.
