2024 Adventures in Repacks - Part 28 - Alternating

 It looks like since I ordered in an equal number of baseball and football repacks, it would be logical to alternate between the two whenever I go to the box.

Therefore:

A baseball one is next. And the first card is one that certainly would have inspired me to pull this particular repack off the shelf.
A little more 80s content than I expected from the first portion, with 4 of them appearing. The Tartabull is an entry from the Traded set, and there's OPC content too! It is also nice to compare an original 1989 design to the Archives version in the same group. Bryan House is pictured with the Oklahoma City 89ers. Does that count too?
And here's the hit - another auto. And looking at all the other repacks, unless they're super thin, all the hits are going to be autos. As for Gorski, he's still doing the minor league climb, and has shown nice power so far.
Oooo. A parallel! My only question was if it was named something simple like Red, or something higher end like Ruby? It was Red. And both a Leaf version of a card and an OPC in the same repack? More of that, please!
All the way back to 1981 for what will probably be the oldest card in any of these repacks with the Lowenstein. Lowenstein (my name is Zweig). I wouldn't be too surprised if that Laskey is the second oldest in any of these.
A rather bland, unlicensed ending, but at least I can show it off as a half-hearted salute to the 1987 Donruss that appeared earlier. 

Perfectly fine repack experience.

There you have it!

  1. Yeah, that's a very solid repack with the auto and the Longoria parallel.
