REPACK MOJO RETROSPECTIVE

WAS GOING TO GO TO THE LCS TO CELEBRATE PLAYOFF DAY BUT EVERYTHING GOT ALL SNAFU'D AND I DIDN'T. PART OF ME WANTED TO STOP BY WALGREENS OR TARGET AND GET A REPACK JUNK BOX AS A PLAN B BUT I RESISTED. IN HONOR OF MY SELF RESTRAINT HERE'S  A BUNCH OF THE 'BEST' STUFF I'VE PULLED OUT OF CRAPTACULAR REPACK BOXES THE PAST FEW YEARS

2013 DONRUSS ELITE TREVOR WILLIAMS AUTOGRAPH STRATUS? DIE-CUT #11/50

YES YOU CAN PULL HITS OUT OF REPACK PACKS. I GUESS ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED NOW TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS A GOOD ONE OR NOT. TREVOR GOT TRADED TO THE PIRATES, MADE HIS DEBUT IN 2016 AND HAD A VERY GOOD SEASON IN 2018. NO ONE IN PITTSBURGH HAD A GOOD SEASON IN 2019. PROSPECT AUTOS TURNING INTO MAJOR LEAGUER AUTOS IS A WIN IN MY BOOK

2013 PANINI COOPERSTOWN HISTORIC TICKETS 1931 US TOUR OF JAPAN

WHEN YOU GOT NO LICENSE YOU GOTTA BE CLEVER AND AN INSERT SET OF TICKET STUBS IS PRETTY CLEVER IF YOU ASK ME.KINDA WISH YOU COULD SEE THE WHOLE TICKET BUT MAYBE THERE'S AN ILLICIT LOGO ON THERE SOMEWHERE. WORTH IT FOR THE RABBIT MARANVILLE NAME DROP

2016 TOPPS CHROME KRIS BRYANT X?FRACTOR? SOME KINDA SHINY SHIT

I STILL HATE CHROME BUT GETTING A SPARKLY SHINY MVP IS NICE. NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF REFRACTOR THIS IS AND I DON'T REALLY CARE. THERE'S NO AUTOGRAPH SO AS FAR AS THE HOBBY IS CONFIRMED IT MAY AS WELL BE POOPY CARBAGE JUST LIKE THE BASE CARDS

2017 TOPPS BUNT SEAN DOOLITTLE PURPLE PARALLEL #01/25

LOVED 2016 BUNT, HATED 2017 BUNT. BUT YOU DON'T GET TO PICK THE PACKS IN A REPACK BOX. WELL, YOU GET TO PICK THE ONES ON THE FRONT I GUESS. WHAT I'M SAYING IS I WOULDN'T HAVE PICKED THIS PACK OF MY OWN FREE WILL BUT I GOT A PARALLEL NUMBERED TO 25 OF A CLOSER WHO HELPED ME DO WELL IN MY FANTASY LEAGUE THIS YEAR. YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THAT IN A FUTURE POST. WAIT, DON'T CLOSE THE TAB - NOOO DON'T DELETE THE BOOKMARK

2016 ALLEN & GINTER CUBAN EMBASSY

THIS IS MY WAY OF SAYING MY GINTER PACKS IN THE REPACK BOXES SUUUUUUUCKED. LIKE SUPER BAD. THEY WERE PROBABLY THOSE PACKS ON THE FRONT TOO

2014 OPENING DAY JASON HEYWARD

YEAAAAAAAAH J-HEY. WON'T EVEN COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW I DISLIKE OPENING DAY

BUT I DO

2015 OPENING DAY THEODORE ROOSEVELT MASCOTS

TEDDY ROOSEVELT IS A PRESIDENT NOT A MASCOT, THIS IS MORE DISRESPECTFUL THAN THE NATS NOT ALLOWING HIM TO WIN THE RACE ALL THOSE YEARS. IT'S A FAVORITE PRESIDENT ON A FAVORITE DESIGN SO I'LL LET IT SLIDE THIS TIME, TOPPS

ALSO, WHY IS THERE AN AUTOGRAPH DISCLAIMER ON THE BACK? DID A STICKER FALL OFF THIS THING?

2014 TOPPS RAMON SANTIAGO RED SHINY SPARKLY WAVY PARALLEL THINGY

ALL NON-GOLD TOPPS PARALLELS ARE USELESS BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THESE RED SHINY THINGS ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE, ESPECIALLY ON A CINCINNATI CARD. GOOD THING THIS WAS AN UPDATE SERIES CARD OR IT'D BE A TIGER

2013 PANINI PRIZM ADRIAN BELTRE

PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE 2013 PANINI PRIZM SET FROM 2013 AND NOT THE 2012 PANINI PRIZM SET FROM 2013 BUT DOES IT REALLY MATTER? AT ONE POINT I THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING A FRANKENSET OUT OF RANDOM PRIZM CARDS BUT HONESTLY WHO COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE? MAYBE I'LL DO IT ONE DAY BUT INCLUDE BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL AND SOCCER TOO. ENOUGH PRIZM BASHING, ADRIAN BELTRE IS A GLORIOUS BEACON OF LIGHT IN ANYONE'S CARD COLLECTION

2015 TOPPS BABE RUTH ARCHETYPES

ALL (CLAP) BABE(CLAP) RUTH (CLAP) CARDS (CLAP) ARE (CLAP) GOOD (CLAP)  CARDS

SOME OF THEM ARE KINDA JANKY LOOKING LIKE THIS ONE BUT THEY'RE ALL GOOD CARDS. DON'T WORRY THOUGH, I LEFT THE ABSOLUTE WORST FOR LAST

2012 PANINI TRIPLE PLAY ICHIRO PUZZLE 2 OF 9

BEHOLD, THE MOST USELESS ICHIRO CARD IN EXISTENCE. NOTE YOU CAN SEE THE VERY TIP OF ICHIRO'S BATTING HELMET ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NOW IF THE ANCHORS TILED PERFECTLY IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY USEFUL FOR WALLPAPERING A ROOM, LIKE THIS THOUGH? MEH. THIS IS WHY I WON'T EVEN BUY A BOX OF THIS FOR FIVE BUCKS AT THE CARD SHOW, GIMMIE DAT 1988 DONRUSS OR 1990 FLEER INSTEAD

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS RETROSPECTIVE OF REPACK RUBBISH MORE THAN I'M ENJOYING THE BRAVES GAME RIGHT NOW

GODDAMN CARDINAL DEVIL MAGIC
