2019 Topps Holiday #HW122 Andrew Benintendi |
Leading up to Christmas, I had bought two boxes of the Topps Holiday product. To be honest, I probably could have been content with just that. The allure of completing a set, especially a smaller 200 card one, finally tipped the scales and I ended up snagging a third box. Did I complete the set? No. I am however close enough to completion that I'm going to post a needs list and see what trades I can make. I have plenty of doubles from this set if anyone else is working towards it too.

This list doesn't include a few cards I picked up in a trade yesterday, which I'll show of in a trade recap somewhere down the line. I also have short prints of the Contreras and Torres cards, so technically I don't need those base to complete the set, but I figured I might as well include them for completion sake.
Oh, and just to show that 3rd box provided some good Christmas mojo, this was my included relic:
Merry Christmas indeed!
Looks like you should've just opened those packs that you sent me, as I've got 35,38,94,142,149,158,166,182, and 197 for you.
ReplyDeletecross off 10, 119, 128, 143, 166 too.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty bummed that I couldn't get my hands on any of these blasters... but after reading this post... I'm glad I was able to find a complete set on eBay for the price of a blaster.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on completing this set (one of my favorites of 2019)... and congratulations on pulling the Tatis relic.
