2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 25.1 - Forgotten, not Gone

 Here's the contents of a repack I purchased several years back, yet never got around to posting. It just stayed there, got shifted into a small plastic case, and waited. For this hot summer day, I'm going to finally show off 80 cards over two posts.

The cards weren't the most interesting repack I've busted, based on the first grouping. The most interesting might have been the first visible card, which gets to that status based on the Mike Flanagan memorial patch. 
But here's something that can improve any repack - an appearance of a 1981 Topps entry. Even better - it is from the Update set. Blue Jays appearance as well! 
Wrigley ivy appearing can also make any pack better, whether of  re or wax variety. Also, there's an insert making an appearance. Even if the extent of Aramis' reaching MVP status was making appearances in the lower-end UD MVP set.
Sketchy airbrushing! YES! Even if it was likely a Cleveland cap and they could have left the brim of the cap the same, they still took the time to make the Angels logo bigger than usual. 
Thomas Howard will win the photo war here with this pretty nice horizontal entry. Even if it wasn't his first Bowman entry, a Dylan Cease appearance is a nice ending, and a few years later, a surprising card to find as one of the visible ones.

And there you have it! 40 more next post!
