This trade had a lot of chrome, and a lot of foil! Thanks birdrules!
I am loving the 2024 Topps cards more and more every time I see them. |
I've just been so happy as an Iowa fan on how well Caitlin Clark has played, been a great role model for all ages, and has represented the University of Iowa well. Personally, I was disappointed she declared for the WNBA draft. I selfishly wanted to see her play for the black and gold one more year. I decided to buy a Bowman U Now card, this one is of the NCAA Women's record she broke. I haven't bought the other record breaking cards...yet anyway.
I happened to be going to my old college stomping grounds and decided to stop in at the fairly new LCS. I had a great time! I wish I could've stayed longer, but I had supper plans. It's a 45 minute drive from the house, but it might be worth it to spend the day in the cheap boxes! There were lots of cards of my "old guy" PC collections that I didn't have, so I will have to visit again.

My favorite card of the purchase is the Select Kittle. Hard to tell from this scan, but it's blue. |
I really love the Brett Topps card |
The blaster boxes have been thin...very thin at the big box stores. I wasn't as anxious as previous years about getting my hands on the first 2024 product, but boy, once I got these in hand, they are neat! I had to go through Fanatics and get a hobby box; in reality, it's less than the cost of 4 blaster boxes, so I decided to take the plunge.
The biggest pro for me: the black boarder and the foil. The biggest downfall for me: a lot of photos with the city connect uniforms. Example A, the San Diego Padres. Some of the city connect uniforms I love, like the Royals, Rockies and Cubs, but the Padres and Marlins are something else.
Base Cards:
