Having A (Stadium Club) Blaster - Expo Post #1

The most recent Expo was "Fine". Just middling, run-of-the-mill. Much of the hockey was geared towards Bedard chasers, so I was perfectly happy with one of my boxes being this:

A nice little SC blaster. There were no singles available for me to hunt down the really interesting stuff, so this will scratch that itch. And you're going to see all 8 packs.

Pack 1:

Is Paul Skenes the big rookie in this product? Maybe? Whatever your vote is, there he is! Loperfido was as close as I'd get to Blue Jays content in this, and he is also one of the more interesting photos in this blaster. Sheehan was the first card out, and I should have taken that as a hint. As for the red parallels, I do like them on modern players, but it seems off for legends.

Pack 2:

Not the most exciting group here photo-wise, but boy was this ever a Braves hot pack. 

Pack 3:

For anybody else that busted a blaster or three, was the team-to-team collation this limited? Two more Dodgers, and a third straight pack with a Red Pirates parallel. Tyler Black gets an almost repeat of his Update Rookie Debut card in this, but if you compare the two, the pattern is all different for the splash between the two. I appreciate the CSI opportunity on cards.

Pack 4:

My first Mets card of the box. That's a pretty great photo commemorating Mookie's happy return to Boston. The cameo from the Green Monster denizen makes it even better. As I leave red foil Pirates parallels behind, the oddness here comes from two guys with the last name Scott.

Pack 5:

Another candidate for best photo in the blaster with Harris' appearance. The red parallels switch across the state with Philly picking things up. Much as I dislike how filthy the Chrome cards make my scanner look, that's a seriously nice looking Bob Gibson card.

Pack 6:

Virtuosos of Velocity. Both those 'V' words on their own can be tongue twisters, but they combine for an alliteration nightmare. David Wright becomes my second and final Mets card in the blaster, with a photo background that almost makes it seem like a Chrome parallel. 

Pack 7:

The only pack without Dodgers content. But it kept the red foil Pennsylvania content going. And the Braves content, which at 5 cards, was still dwarfed by the Dodgers content.

Pack 8:

Dodgers. Braves. Red Foil Pennsylvanians. Sounds about right.

I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more if there was some better collation among the teams. At least one trading partner will get a nice small stack of Dodgers base.

There you have it!
