2026 Topps Blaster Opening!

Is there anything better than opening those first packs of the new year? I can't imagine what it would be. That's what I just did with the 2026 cards. I really like the design this year. For one thing, I CAN READ THE NAMES! There's no foil over them, or lines drawn through them. They're just sitting there big and bold in the corner. It's like a fever dream. Of course, the big hunt is the Roman Anthony rookies. It's always nice when the big chase is a Red Sox card. Adds that extra element to it.

How it go?

Let's find out!

Here's what the box looks like. Shocker to see Judge and Ohtani on there. They never seem to get the features.

First Red Sox card of the season!! This second year card of Marcelo Mayer "Future Stars". Like I said, I can read the name. I can see the team logo. The vertical stripe adds just enough design. I really have no complaints.

Carlos Narvaez is the other Red Sox card from the blaster. What a great image.

And those were the only two Sox. Guess I can't complain too much.

Check out my YouTube Channel to see all the packs from the blaster. The video of the first three packs has already been posted. Check it out below.

How have your packs gone?

Go Red! 2014 Topps Target Red Yoenis Cespedes

February is American Heart Month. As a nod to the Go Red for Women activities going on this month to help raise awareness, I thought I'd contribute several "red" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month.

Let's talk about this card...

Yoenis Cespedes had a short unmemorable stint with the Red Sox. He was anchored with being the main return in the Jon Lester trade. Perhaps his biggest contribution was being the main chip that brought in future Cy Young award winner Rick Porcello to Boston. 

Pretty average card here. "Batter in mid swing" is a common photo topic. In this case, he's showing a bit more effort than most, at least. Otherwise, it's a rather non-descript card. Which I guess you get every once in a while.

I'm sure you all remember forever Miss District of Columbia Jude Maboné from her interview with us. Her "heart health" community service initiative is, obviously, quite relevant this month. As such, she's supporting the Simon's Heart campaign this month (and every month). I highly recommend you join her efforts with a donation if you are able. You can find the link here.

Support her efforts, and Go Red!

More Guest Closers! Youtube visit from Caroline!

Since you've all been watching every YouTube video I post, you know that I close each one by reminding everyone that I'd rather be in Section 36. Wouldn't we all? It's defintily something I say wherever I am, and whichever account I'm using. Some people have made the fun decision that they'd also like to remind everyone where they'd rather be. So here is another of our "guest closers"!
