2026 Adventures in Repacks - Part 19.1 - Repacks in the Mail

 I'll be doing two larger repacks-in-progress posts simultaneously, as this one starts my working through the repacks from the Too Many Verlanders mailer. There were 4 baseball and 4 football ones in there, all of the lower end variety. But it was still a lot of fun to bust them.  Since I'm working through a football one in the other series, I'll start with the baseball version.

This was the contents of the baseball repacks.
The packs were the same in each of the 4.

Repack #1:
First card out of the packs was a Jays card, but a really sketchy photoshop job. 

I won't show off all the card contents of the pack, but will hit some of my personal highlights. Such as another Jays card, a look at the reverse of the Colorado City Connect jersey, or the Phillies retro blues.

As for stuff from flagship, there's another alternate uniform, a happy pitcher, and the sibling of someone who has yet to get a Toronto Blue Jays card. Maybe his move to a closer role will help that. As for Brewer Hicklen, I just scanned that since the name seems on par with Bobson Dugnutt and Sleve McDichael.
But the 9 random cards are perfect for a scanner bed, no matter how bland everything about them ends up being this time.
And the purple card. Nothing too special, but this was the only one of the 4 purples that was a 2023 issue vs the 2024s in the other repacks.

Repack #2:

The Big League stuff is more interesting this time. Mets content. A horrible photoshop job,. A couple SPs, including a really nice colour match for Bobby Witt. A nice photo of a former Jay. An Ohtani. At least looking for notable cards here is a lot less forced.
Picking interesting cards among the flagship was a lot harder. So, here's a Mets card and a bunch of rookies.
A couple nice photos (Ozuna, Toglia) and a City Connect jersey rank these over the loose cards from the first repack.
To nicely complete the Ryan McMahon City Connect jersey from the first batch of Big League, the purple provides a look at the jersey front. Despite it not being the regular Rockies jersey, I still consider this a colour match parallel. Why? My collection means my rules. Simple.

Two more of these to come in a later post. 

There you have it!
