2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 4.1 - Repacks in Trade

 My most recent mailer from Dennis @ Too Many Verlanders included a couple repacks.

Since football, at least the gridiron variety, is a little rarer on this side of the border, I'll start with it instead of the baseball.

Here's the football. Considering I haven't busted any SAGE packs in quite the while, I'm somewhat excited about opening those.

It's exactly what I expected. Although it really does lack the charm of Brett Smith's sartorial splendor. 

It also provides me with one of the more obscure alma maters I've ever seen on the back of a football card - The University of the Incarnate Word, as represented by Lindsey Scott Jr. It still will never surpass seeing the Colorado University of Mines on Isaac Harker's CFL cards.

Does that Keon Coleman count as a Bills card? Of course it does!

Prestige from its 'diagonal lines" phase of design. I don't know if their more recent 'faded silver background' is an improvement, but I did like seeing something different.

These particular Score packs include one orange parallel per pack. I got the cover boy!

Finally, the 5 random cards. They really loved the East with these 5. As I type this up, it looks like one of these players has booked their ticket for New Orleans in two-weeks.

But this is why I love repacks - my favourite card in the whole bunch is the one of a guy I'd never heard of from a University I'd never heard of.

There you have it!
