    Hi guys,,
    Happy Saturday!
    Yes, while at my LCS today.
    I was gonna go the usual route and buy a box or two...
    But then I seen he had some awesome
    old school stuff!.
    Not really vintage but earlier stuff.
    So I decided to try my hand at this.
    Planning not to spend too much, around $30-$40 only.
    So, I chose these cool packs.
    All Baseball but two football packs!
    10 packs in total.
    Like the old "Dating Game" host Jim Lange, used to present the contestants.

    😆

    "And here they are..."

    😆

    Total cost- $36
    The 2017 Pack cost $14!

    Here's the
    VARIATION.
    It's the
    "CITY NAME SWAP"


    Plus...
    The fact that the card is nearly perfect!
    The front appears squared.
    However, the back seems a tad O/C?
    I still might send it in?

    Satisfaction!
    Plus, a bunch of gratitude for TOPPS!
    Sure, it isn't some high dollar card. Just the Persistence from a collector to achieve what's coming to him. Plus...
    That awesome excitement when one pulls a winner, out of your purchase!
    Then, about PSA on trying to hit that covenant mark, "10". Even a 9, would be cool
