Auto

So I'm not going to lie, I had a little bit of high expectations for this, just because I feel when buying a case there should be at the very least one decent "wow factor"  card. Don't get me wrong the Tallion Letter Patch is awesome, in fact it's so awesome, I already sold it for a $100 and it's hands down the #1 pull of Cardfest so far and the Soto Gold Topps 35th is not too far behind it. But I was hoping for at least one nice auto, and the best was a Walker Buehler auto. Topps also trolled me by giving me back to back Auto parallels of NICK PIVETTA, in fact the break ended on a bummer note, because those two were in the last two boxes I busted. I got LOADS of the Soto, Acuna, Gleyber, Ohtani etc, but overall it was sort of an underwhelming break. The Silver Packs provided extra punch, and MAN do the parallels for the Silver Pack cards look AWESOME. I really love the look of both the Bo Purple and Randy Johnson Blue. They really pop. Was hoping for a better auto too. Ah well, overall still fun. Pics of the cards

  1. Hopefully at least one of the Class of 2018 turns out to be a megastar like Betts or Trout. If that happens, you'll be golden.

    1. Yeah I'm hoping it will be Soto only bc he doesn't have nearly as much out there as the other rookies do

  2. Wow, cool. My favorite is the Eddie Murray Gold. It's beautiful, and The Bo Jackson ain't bad either.
