Series 2 finally arrives !!

This year I decided to combine my Series 2 order with the delivery of my Allen & Ginter box, hence they arrived "late". I completed the base set but still in need of a lot of inserts (please check my Want List). Given that I am late to the party let's stick with the non-basesets in this post ! If you see anything you like let me know !!

Let's start with some colour variations, pink and black !

More colors ! Gold and Black with the latter already spoken for.

The "hit" was a Starlin Marte auto cards (also spoken for), not too bad although I am never a big fan of sticker autos.

Two relics were in the boxes as well, Guerrero and Hamilton. The latter I have in my fantasy baseball team hence boosting my stolen bases !

I also pulled these repacked vintage cards. I think the concept is cool but hate the "new" stamp on it. I prefer the have my vintage set being really vintage (or maybe I am just complaining about nothing). All are for trade except the Yankees card !

Besides working towards completiing the set I also pulled 3 cool Kershaws for my Kershaw collection !! I love the Saberstars inserts !

All in all, less fun then normal to be homnest, probably because it arrived with the A&G which is of course much more fun. Again, always happy to trade so let me know !!

Series 2: For Trade !

So each year I love to open a few boxes of Topps Series 1 & 2 and this year was no different !! I was able to complete the base set and have a pile of base for trade. Furthermore, and disappointing, all the inserts of 2 of the boxes were the same so I still need a lot of inserts. The good news for all of you, I have stuff to trade !!

Let's start with the hits ! Two for trade, one to keep ! Some metal first, a Mike Trout Proven Mettle.

The second one was a Chasing History relic: Alex Gordon !

Lastly, the hit I am keeping (although it's one from my least favourite Yankee to be honest)

Now let's move to the insert, all are for trade as these were are doubles. First up, the Minis !

Next up, my favourite insert, inline with The Greats of Series 1, meet The Elite !

My 2nd favourite insert set, Cut to the Chase ! Still trying to complete the Series 1 insert set as well !

Two more inserts, Making their Mark and World Baseball Classics, I like them, Topps did a good job on the insert side with Series 2 (yes, I said it!).

Lastly, a few coloured parallels, one pink for the ladies (#/50) and a black one (#/62)

That's it, happy to set-up trades so check out my Want List for my insert needs !

Who wants to be a millionnaire ?!?!

With Series 2 live I usually have the urge to open some wax and this time was no different. In a few days I will show you the couple of (metal) hits I pulled. Today, it´s time for you to become a millionaire, or at least a chance on becoming one !!

Topps decided that foreigners can´t play any Topps games so sadly enough they won´t give me the chance to become rich. But it gives me great pleasure to give my loyal readers a chance so leave a comment and I will send you a code. I have 18 codes up for grabs !!
