Ginter Blaster

 Hello Friends!

Today is Opening Day (Finally!) And while I've sat on showing these cards for a few days now, I wanted to show the cards I got from an A&G Blaster I picked up at EB Games. These are just the full size cards, and at that not all of them.. 



I have to say I liked seeing this card. I'm debating on whether I want to keep these cards or put them up for trade. 


Rod Carew in the old California Angels uni. Why do I feel this is a Spring Training uni or a warmup?


I'll spare the Bo Knows jokes.. 




A couple nice HOFers


Yordan Alvarez, one of the modern players I received. 


Clemente and Clemens.. 


Ty Cobb, back when the Detroit D was not ornate.. Or that really creepy drawn tiger... 


Definitely keeping this one.. 


George Sisler. Interesting seeing a St Louis Brown.. 


Denzel Clarke.. Another keeper for me. Cousin of the Naylors and fellow Canadian. 


Trying to remember the spelling for his last name is killer.. 


There were a few manias around Dodger Stadium, weren't there? Fernandomania.. NomoMania.. ShoMania... 



Now we have a Goose and a Kitty.. 
I was about to ask what Gossage's first name was then it hit me.. 

The Wicked Curves inserts are interesting. 



Nice to see Fergie!


And finally Catfish Hunter. 

I mainly picked this blaster up because I had the urge to rip packs. I also found out, in talking with the person behind the counter, that since Fanatics took over Topps, Hobby boxes are no longer a thing in Canada. It's all blasters..

  1. a. Nice to see Nomo back in sets again.

    b. Crazy that Topps won't be selling hobby boxes in Canada anymore. I don't really buy hobby boxes (nor do I live in Canada) so that wouldn't impact me personally. But I'm sure some collectors are not happy about this news.

    1. Well yeah. I'd rather spend and get one or two packs than spend $50 for a blaster

  2. I saw hanger packs of this set while at Target today. I passed over them, I just can't with A&G anymore.
