2014 Topps Opening Day Break (w/scans)
Broke a box of Topps 14 Opening Day with my 3 year old son today. Although not the most exciting hobby box to break, we had a blast!
Here are our mascots. My son considers Wally our hit

It was nice to find a box even my toddler could dig! Also had some nice base cards. Overall we are happy and looking forward to a box of 13 Panini EEE for the weekend.

It's probably the best bang for the buck. The Jeter Blue is BV very high, and a decent auto! The kids love the mascots. My youngest gets very excited about completing a mascot set! I almost have all the Stars cards, which I really like.
Keep your eyes open ... There are base card parallels thrown in ... Check cardboard connection for a visual guide. Most are easy (press conference photo) but there's a Pedroia that I almost missed. If you need base or inserts, I've got a bunch of dupes listed in ORG.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Thanks! Yeah, I saw some of those parallels. Going to double check the piles and make sure I didn't miss on. Theres a Mo tipping his hat vs. running to the mound, amongst others.

Yeah, that Rivera is one of the cards I'm chasing. Jose Fernandez hugging a Dino, is the other! I just busted a blaster and picked up a card of yours that I wanted! Got the Blue Jeet, today!
