I ordered a few boxes direct from Fanatics for a quick rip.

I had some Fanatics Fan Cash built up, so decided to redeem it for some cards instead of apparel. It only cost me an additional $10.83 in actual money.

Topps loves to recycle that Randy Johnson photo, I'm assuming because of the Marlboro sign and the 89 Fleer card. This was used in the 1978 design from just a few years ago.

I've been told that the Tatum Paradox is a case hit with some value, but I have not confirmed at what level of value that would be for a guy with a torn Achilles tendon on the mend.
How did they spell YASTRZEMSKI? It's not even close! Great proofreading.
I didn't even notice. Maybe it's a deliberate error card? I'll have to look into it.
I think they could have chosen a better photo for Tony Gwynn. Dude once stole 50+ bases.
The Aaron Judge 1964 Topps Stand Up card is cool.
Interesting that his position is "Outfielder". In the original 1964's, OF's are listed as "Outfield".
"Deliberate error" cards have to be the dumbest thing in the hobby.
Pronounced: Yast disaster stress Mickey.
I've posted this before, but my uncle at 8 years old thought that Topps spelled Carl Sawatski wrong on his 1960 card.
Here's my uncle's 1962 card card of Carl.

And here is what he thought was Carl's 1960 card. My uncle said that he wasn't sure how to spell Sawatski correctly in 1960, or he would have corrected the last name, too. But he knew that Carl played for the Cardinals, not the Red Sox.
