Never Too Old For Baseball Cards

My 60th birthday was yesterday, and I got some cards! Thankfully, my family knows that I still like to get packs for my birthday. Around Thanksgiving I start dropping the reminders that it's coming up, typically something like this, "Hey! I don't know who did it, but......my birthdays coming up!" Fun times in the Tessier house.


First up is the 2023 Update blaster which I actually bought for myself a few days before my birthday. Didn't wait to open it though.
Here's the highlights.
Already had all the Angels in the box.


Blue Foil 665/999

Got four in this blaster when I think three is typical.

The Arozarena is a Chrome.


The Marichal is the Blue version with a Print Run of 600.


One of my daughters gave me the two fat packs.

Pack 1 highlights:
Wow, an Ohtani. Rarely pulled him before. Glad he showed up as an Angel still.


Pack 2


Daughter picked out a great pack!

    1. Hmm, Mookie's looking at the sky, not the ball. Think Topps put the ball in his glove?

  10. Happy belated Birthday. You are only about a year and a month (2 days less than a month) older than me.
