Two Unexpected Packages

Always nice to get some unexpected mail, nice to know folks are thinking of me. That's one of the reasons I'll be starting up BAGs again this summer (Blog Appreciation Gifts), to share some of the love and show my appreciation for fellow bloggers and their efforts.

First up was a nice bubble mailer from Dennis (Too Many Verlanders) which included (among other things) lots of Angels, Patriots, and baseball checklists!

And four Dollar Tree packs (That's what I call the 5-card packs) of 2023 Topps Update. But we'll get to those later.

Lots of Angels, most of which I needed.

Super nice relics...very generous. Look at that tri-color Patriots swatch.

Sorry for the bad photos.

Five more 1986 Leaf, putting me within 20 of the set.

I have a special binder for this kinda stuff, but it always leave me shaking my head why anyone would do this.

And the contents of the fun 5-pack rip.

All good stuff and some decent rookies.

Second package comes from Stuart (S.R.75)

Stuart came across some Angels he thought I could use, and yes I needed them all.

He also included an unopened pack of cards which resulted in this:

Solid pack with two Angels and a nice Joey Votto.

Thanks guys!
