Topps released its 2014 Series 1 Baseball Cards this past week. So I made my way to the local hobby shop to pick up a box. I've only ripped open three packs thus far. But if these packs are a harbinger, then I'm in for the card-collecting year of my life.
The first pack yielded the Wild Horse himself—Yasiel Puig.
In the second, the best hitting shortstop in baseball—Hanley Ramirez—made an appearance.
And then in my third pack, I got a "The Future is Now" insert of Hyun-Jin Ryu.
At this point, I was pretty satisfied with my haul. But then I pulled this:
I love that this show Billy Buck as a Dodger. Though he's best remembered as a Red Sock, Buckner came up through the Dodger organization and was a key part of the squad that made the '74 World Series as well as a number of other solid Dodger teams throughout the '70s. It's great to see him sporting the Dodger Blue.
All in all, a fine start to the baseball card season.
wow, that's quite a haul from the first three packs, I bet Byron was going nuts.
