Resume Fire

 Canada Post has switched from a complete walkout to rotating strikes, meaning that things will take longer, but will arrive eventually. So, send away!

ObCard: Since I really have nowhere else to post it in any sort of logical multi-card posting, here's a card of a Canadian from that quintessential Canadian sport - beach volleyball. 

2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 32 - Another Two

 No Chrome Update in this two-pack repack, but some flagship will suffice.

But Chrome Anniversary remains.

The flagship pack opened with a five-pack of horizontal cards - only one of which is a base player card. But at least it does use the layout well enough.

The more common vertical design features a pair of pitchers who have already seen action this post-season for the Blue Jays. Gausman's jersey looks photoshopped, which really seems odd when a player had made appearances for the team in the previous season.

Insert time! The Stars of MLB may be getting very tiresome at this point, but that '88 Votto is a pretty nice little addition to my Cancon collection. And getting an insert for a PC is always enough to make for a good repacked pack.

But there's still more, such as a third post-season starter. Not too bad for a pack that's a few years old to still be providing some mound star power. 

As for the Chrome pack, not the most exciting one. At least there was a shiny entry.

The flagship is the easy winner in this pairing. 

But there you have it!

A Fine Farewell

Sure, Jerry Rice would continue his career for several seasons after this, but this is about as great as you could as for his cardboard farewell from a brand, at least as an active player, for San Francisco.

2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 31 - Pretty Packaging

 

OK, not so much the packaging, but there was an interesting card as the visible one.

It is probably better like this, but I would like to see a road game variant of this with unhappy fans as well.

And it's interesting behind it as well. The first card is the only non-flagship one among the 4, and it is someone who just got paid. Jaden Schwartz gets a photo that is just about as intense as you can get from a moment when the clock is stopped. I'm sure I've shown off that Rasmus before, but it is still a fairly unique angle for a card photo.

Having something positive to say about each card is all you could ask for!

There you have it!

A 2020 Vision

 

Cardboard fans!

But at least there's an autograph to go along with it. And a pretty nice-looking Grand Rapids Griffins jersey.

There you have it!
