Unboxing The Angels

I had been enjoying following Padrographs 21 days of unboxing blasters he had received for Christmas (every card collectors dream) when near the end I received a message from Rod asking for my address, he had some Angels to send me. I was excited to say the least and looking forward to a PWE coming in the mail. Well, more than a PWE came, and out of the fat Priority Mail envelope came four 9-pocket pages full of cards.

Thats not nine cards per page there, more like 27-36 cards per page! I'm assuming he sent me just about all the Angels he had pulled in the 21 days. So nice, and most of which I needed. I selected some of my favorites to show.

Looking forward to this young guy this season.

2023 Bowman Platinum base and Ice Foil parallel.

And my new favorite second only to Trout.

2023 Topps Chrome Pink Refractor.

I love the pink refractors.

2023 Topps Flagship Collection Companion to Oversize Cards CTCSP-1

That's a mouthful, but a very awesome card.

2024 Topps Holiday Parallel

Took me a while to figure out what this was, but again, a really cool card.

2023 Topps Update All Aces

2020 Topps Holiday Garland Variation HW123

You have to look close to see that garland.

2021 Topps 1952 Topps Redux Chrome TC52-43

Chrome cards have come a long way from when they used to be dark and hard to see.

Rod posted a picture of a Topps Update Target Big Box that included what looked like an oversized foil wrapper for the oversized card included in the box. I asked if the wrapper was available, and he sent it. Only it turned out to be a photo of a foil pack, on thin cardstock. Very cool either way, and still a sweet Trout collectible.

Blessed and thankful Rod.
