2023 Allen & Ginter

When I opened my first pack, this was the first card...

Needless to say, I was feeling pretty good about my decision to buy a blaster box.  It ended up pretty good for me, but not much for my PCs.

First pack

Second pack

Third pack

Forth pack; you'd think he's have enough FB cards that he wouldn't need a card in a baseball set

Fifth pack

Sixth pack

Seventh pack

Eighth pack

Mini's

Inserts

This was a pleasant surprise!

SPs

PC cards - may start one of Ragans; he's pitching well for the Royals since being traded to KC

TCDB trade with Kylekrueger

Another mixed bag of needs.  Great stuff! 

Cubs and Royals mega collection needs.  The Eaton card is my favorite of the trade.

Cubs mega collection

Two TCDB trades with rcxheth

 A small, single card PWE...sometimes those are the best.  This is my first blue bordered card from 2023 Topps.  Looks good with the Tigers colors.

Second trade was bigger and checked off quite a few mega collection needs for me.

TCDB trade with stdolan1

 Another mixed bag trade here of needs, but mostly set needs.  Thanks stdolan1!

Favorite card of the trade

TCDB trade with stvargo

Another great PWE trade, this time with stvargo.  A little bit of everything here...mega collection need, set need and PC needs.

Ole Miss baseball alumni

The George Brett is my favorite card of the trade

All former Cubbies 😢

Set need

 

TCDB trade with philhigh

I reached out to philhigh for a potential small PWE trade with a few set needs.  Hopefully one day we can do a bigger trade!  I'm not sure that I have a favorite card of the trade because they were all set needs, but I really like the photo on the Ozzie Smith card!
