2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 9 - And Now The Baseball

 Back to the repack box, and one of these:

Chrome to open it!

A Hall of Famer and a pretty cool Diamond Kings card. That's a nice start.

You could have told me that Steve Boros was 70-something in that photo and I would have believed you. He was in his late 40s. The previous football versions of this both contained a Steve Broussard entry. This time, it is Naehring that repeats. Lenny looks ready to help the Mets to their World Series run in the 1986 photo. It will still be a bit before Fernando Valenzuela cards aren't a little sad.

Now that's a nice-looking hit! I generally didn't like the silver sticker era of Topps autograph certification, but it does look really nice alongside the stained-glass look of this Beam Team design. It also inspired me to add the Callix Crabbe version of this to my COMC inventory for my 2/14 collection.

An Expo, a Met and a Blue Jay show up, but Will Clark's eye black application is an easy winner among the group. 

Heritage is a perfectly acceptable way to end any repack.

With one of these, the best and most interesting card should be the hit. And here, it definitely was! When you get the inspiration to add a version of that card that will fit in a PC, that's a great card.

There you have it!
