Back when I ordered
my latest repack restock, each one had a bonus hit-themed repack included. Since these were gifts, so to speak, I'm covering them both in this pre-Christmas post.
To keep the alternating football/baseball pattern I'm using with the shipments, I'll continue here. And starting with a perfect card for me as the visible one - here's a Bills card! This card of the ill-fated James Hardy is /99.
And here's a future Bill! Even if Benjamin's time in Buffalo wasn't that memorable, at least there's a nice patch here. The picks that were traded for Benjamin didn't work out that well in return, so I can take that as a small condolence.
Super high-end for the autograph with Five-Star making an appearance. I don't have very many of those, either from baseball or football in the binders. Like many early 2010s Browns picks, Little didn't quite work out on a long-term basis for Cleveland, but he did spend a few years in the league. That's more than some, especially when it comes to QBs.
Shifting to baseball:
In an odd layout, the autograph was the visible card here. With all respect to Brady's journey to the majors, it was, for me, the least interesting of the three contained hits.
After all how can it compete with a Hall of Famer's pinstripe? Maybe even a hint of game use near the bottom of the window as well?
Or a bat sliver from my favourite player?
It's like I personally put this baseball repack together myself. You get the opening hit that isn't too interesting, but you still hope for good stuff behind it. And for me, there was better stuff hiding!
