2024 Adventures in Repacks - Part 20 - More repacked Packs

 

One of baseball, one of hockey from Ol' Wally World. 
Other than the alternate red jerseys on the Jays (As usual when they sport them, I'll assume the Jays lost that day), and a different angle on the Jansen, nothing major in the opening group.
The helmetless photo of Arozarena is at least something interesting on the Stars insert. I still wouldn't weep if the insert set went away, or at least used a more interesting name. But that Puckett is just a beauty. The classic blue jersey makes it even better. The only thing keeping it from perfection is the less-than-perfect view of the shoulder patch.

The pack ends with a quintet of magnificent horizontal photos, all nicely using the format. With the rough start, that's a very solid ending.
Decent enough mix in the Platinum Anniv. pack. As expected, the Justice looks really nice in hand, as 
2021-22 Parkhurst was just as dull as the 2021-22 flagship release. At least this had the excuse of being Parkhurst, where you don't really expect anything spectacular from the cards in a photographic sense.
The insert was shiny, at least.
And the flagship finale has a mask binder card to go alongside with a superstar rocking an alternate uniform. Perfectly fine ending. 

Nice effort from hockey, but the second half of Series 2 is enough to make this one baseball > hockey.

There you have it!
