2024 Score Box Break - Packs 8, 9 and 10

 Time to end the box. If the scans seem strange this time, I'll just say I was playing around with things, and some came out with a different quality/size than usual. I'd already merged things into the set, and didn't want to hunt down the cards for a re-scan.

Pack 8:

How can I hate a 2024 pack where I end up with both an appearance of Pat Patriot and Bucco Bruce? 

Or a pair of kickers?

I can hate on the fact that a couple of players got the cheesy photoshop treatment. Considering how dreadful the Giants are, even compared to his former team of Carolina, he'd be better off with just the helmet changing and an old photo. Some of the others to get the PS treatment were Zack Moss and Antonio Gibson. All this seems very random.

This pack did contain the lowest numbered parallel of the box, and I have zero complaints with a HOFer numbered out of 10.

Finally, your inserts. A fairly standard make-up.

Pack 9:

Not only can I appreciate the greatness of pulling a card of Flipper Anderson from a 2024 pack, but I can also appreciate that the team employee standing just off the field is sporting Zubaz. That might be even more retro greatness than Anderson himself!

Another fun thing about this pack, pulling a card of both available Frank Gores. Seeing as I already showed them off for a Bills group break post, this is the only Bills card I'm showing off from the box.

Your inserts and parallel. I appreciate the collation providing both Steve Young and Joe Montana's Canton insert back-to-back. They've also re-used Latham's photo from the base card. I know he's an OL player, but he has to have at least one more photo available, right?

It's either this or the Bo Nix /50 that is the big card in the box. And it is kinda nice to have a little debate as to which is the better of the two cards. Now I just need to wait for Kirk Cousins to step or be pushed aside to properly decide which one was the better pull. Even if I'm not keeping the Nix.

Edit: I typed that up about 30 minutes before Penix was annnounced as the starter this Sunday.

Pack 10:

A big autograph and a /10 parallel. I don't like these closing pack beating either of those.

Back-to-back kicker cards were the most interesting thing here, and that won't do it.

I often show off the first card of a box break. Here, I'm also highlighting the last card of the box. 

If you're going to proclaim Barkley as "The Franchise" for the Eagles, maybe choose a photo were the Giants logo isn't so prominent?

The final parallel is a Joe Burrow,  but at least there's Bills content in the background. That's probably as close as I'm getting to anything commemorating Shaq Lawson's second stint with the Bills.

There you have it! I ended up 25-ish cards short of finishing the set. I should have the remainder sitting in my sportlots/COMC inventory awaiting shipment, so my next incoming mailers should put it to bed.
