Posting Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In keeping with the pink theme for the month, I wanted to talk about this card.

2023 Topps Chrome Pink Refractor Triston Casas.

I'll admit, I'm only mostly sure this is the pink refractor. It could be pink. It could be magenta, it could really be most anything. But, we're going to call it pink. 

As a Casas collector, I've been slowly putting together a rainbow of this card. I think it's a great image catching the follow through of another home run. While the headshot is a bit goofy, it honestly encapsulates him pretty well. All in all, a nice offering from Topps.

If you can, this month (and every month) I would like you to consider donating to the American Cancer Society to support their breast cancer research efforts.

“You help us fund breakthroughs that accelerate cures and save lives.  And we know that a breakthrough only counts when people can reach it. Your gift to the American Cancer Society helps move research forward and connects people facing breast cancer with the answers, care, and support they need — wherever they live and whatever stands between them and treatment. This October, please join us in helping end cancer as we know it, for everyone.” 

2024 Topps Holiday Mega Box Opening!

The Topps Holiday sets are so much fun. It’s another way to get a different looking card of your favorite player in your collection. One more edition of the rainbow you can try to chase. Or, in some cases, two or three more editions. More importantly, editions that won't break the bank. I love that the set doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still guarantees a hit in every box. What could be better?

So let’s see what magic we find in our winter wonderland!

Here's what the box looks like.

Here's a card of Sox star Rafael Devers. I like how Topps mixes up how they do the "holiday" each year. Sometimes it's a fun border. Sometimes it's a snow effect. This year, it's neon holiday decorations all over the entire card. Definitely different!

And here's one of Section 36 favorite Triston Casas. Again, love the theming.

And there you go. Only two Red Sox cards out of the ten packs. But, they were certainly good ones.

If you want to see every card I pulled, be sure to subscribe to the Section 36 YouTube channel! The video of the entire opening will be posted there, if it hasn't already. You will also be able to find an almost endless selection of packs and boxes that I've opened. Feel free to dive down that rabbit hole.

How did your box go?
