Card Collecting 11: Repack Adventures

So I made another trip to Walgreen's and they only had one football repack so I bought it along with two baseball repacks.

1990 Score #582 Joe Montana Front   1993 Playoff #5 Jim Kelly Front 

2010 Topps #96 Aaron Hernandez  Front   2013 Topps #8 Antonio Brown Front

1982 Topps #411 George Rogers Front   1996 Pinnacle #57 Tim Brown Front

I already had the Montana, but he's a Hall of Famer so I don't mind another one.  Kelly's another Hall of Fame QB.  The Hernandez rookie and the AB action shot in a throwback uni would fit nicely in a bad boy collection if I had one.  A couple Heisman Trophy winners on the bottom.

The pack in both was 2020 Leaf Draft.  My haul included a Tee Higgins All American gold parallel and a J.K. Dobbins Touchdown Kings, but the fronts aren't up yet on TCDB.

Others:  Cortez Kennedy, Steve Smith, Derrick Thomas, Thurman Thomas, etc.

1982 Fleer #149 Don Money Front   1984 Fleer #213 Ted Simmons Front

2018 Topps #79 J.T. Realmuto Front   1991 Upper Deck #677 Carlton Fisk / Robin Ventura Front

1986 Topps Woolworth Collectors' Series #18 Fred Lynn Front   1991 Conlon Collection TSN #114 Urban Shocker Front 

2019 Topps Opening Day #150 Jacob deGrom Front   2019 Topps Opening Day #41 Jose Altuve Front

2019 Topps Opening Day - 150 Years of Fun #YOF-1 Ty Cobb Front   1981 Topps #720 Fred Lynn Front

1981 Topps #350 J.R. Richard Front   1981 Topps #693 Steve Howe Front

The first of the two baseball boxes was overloaded with 1980s Brewers. Like obsessively so, but no Yount or Molitor, which was kind of annoying.  There were three Cecil Coopers, a Gorman Thomas, a Jim Gantner, a Rollie Fingers, a Ben Oglivie, and some random guys.  I don't know how that Dolphins RB got into a baseball box.  Carlton Fisk and Robin Ventura in throwback unis.  A goofy Fred Lynn card from Woolworth department store.  One of the best names in the history of baseball.  The pack in each box was 2019 Topps Opening Day.  Closing out the viewing with 1981 Topps and Steve Howe's rookie card.

Others: Mo Vaughn, Frank Viola, Ryan Braun, Jeff Bagwell, Andy Van Slyke, etc.
