I was also able to pick up some player collection needs over the weekend while at my LCS.

Trip to the LCS, part 2...I finished a set!!!

My LCS always hooks me up with a huge box of common cards to shuffle through when I'm trying to complete a set.  This trip was no different.  I was able to complete the 2015 Bowman set, Prospects, and Chrome Prospects.  I obviously won't post everything I bought, but here's the low down:

Trip to LCS, part 1...the packs

While at the LCS this weekend, to get the free Kris Bryant card, you had to buy $10 in Topps products.  I knew I would not have a difficult time because my local Walmart is apparently not stocking baseball cards anymore, so I haven't bought any new releases lately.

Allen & Ginter

Royals and Cubs, including new Royal Billy Burns.  I wasn't so sure about trading away Brett Eibner, but I think Dayton Moore knows what he's doing.

 Insert card

Mini Black Border

Non-baseball people

Old dudes, including A-Rod, whose last game was last Friday

Topps Chrome

Refractor

Prizm Refractor

Topps Tribute

It always makes me nervous to spend a lot of money on one pack of cards.  This turned out pretty good.  One for the player collection, one for the catcher binder, and one for my green collection.

2016 National Baseball Card Day

My LCS posted on their Facebook this week about their promotion for National Baseball Card Day last Saturday.  This was a definite push to get me down there; not only had I not been writing TTM requests, or trading, I have not been down to the LCS for quite a while.  I was able to buy some awesome stuff, which I'll post throughout the week.  But, first, I want to post what they were giving away as part of the promotion.  I'm not sure if it was all stores or not, but if you bought $10 in Topps, you got a free Kris Bryant National Baseball Day Card.  They were also giving away promotion packs.  They gave me two packs, which I thought was generous!  It was a good trip to the LCS, and they were pretty busy, so it was nice to see everyone out supporting small business!

Travis Snider

Travis Snider was with the Royals farm team in Omaha.  He was released from the Storm Chasers on July 31.  He played in 84 games and hit .245 for the Storm Chasers.  I hope he lands somewhere else and gets another chance.  Pretty cool looking Gypsy Queen card!
