2019 Topps #441 Oriole Park At Camden Yards |
I've been lucky enough to see a few games at Camden Yards, and it is without a doubt one of the best ballparks in all of baseball. Absolutely beautiful! Even though the team itself isn't doing much these days, it's worth your time to see a game here. Trust me, it's worth it.

2019 Topps - 1984 Topps Baseball All-Star #84AS-DW Dave Winfield |
I miss the days when All-Star cards looked like All-Star cards. You could tell what they where a mile away. Winfield's new look All-Star card looks better than his 1984 original!

2019 Topps - Mookie Betts Star Player Highlights #MB-11 Mookie Betts |
Well played Topps, well played. I've been against these Star Player Highlights for a number of reasons. (Seriously - another 30 card insert set devoted to Aaron Judge?) Even Mookie's turn doesn't excuse a lot of the core issues with these sets, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't happy to pull this card. A silly look by Mookie on the front is made be even better by highlighting a great game against the Yankees on the back. I might even chase this insert set...

I have to note that this was a weird pack - I pulled 6 Red Sox and 6 Yankees cards!
I'm glad that Topps chose Mookie for one of those highlight insert sets, even though they become slightly repetitive after a while.
ReplyDeleteThe Mookie insert set is very cool, but those stadium cards are my favorite thing about this year's set. I've got to get out to Camden Yards one day.
ReplyDeleteKurt Suzuki + Fenando Tatis Jr. rookie card = solid pack.
