Had another fun time opening up 3 boxes. 1 box each of 2009 & 2010 Topps Tribute and 1 box of 2015 Panini Prizm. The Prizm box are always fun to open, plenty of inserts etc. etc. Did pull a Kris Bryant insert (sorry folks, saved for my local trade buddy). Personal collection was even covered out of the Prizm, as I pulled 2 different prizms of Troy Tulowitzki and 1 of Mariano Rivera.
The box of 2010 Topps Tribute was the first I've opened. It sure didn't disappoint me. In the first pack a black (numbered 09/50) relic of....wait for it....MICKEY MANTLE. Not the most expensive pull by any means, but still, I was jumping up and down (literally) when I pulled the card. Also pulled a Robin Yount triple bat numbered 38/99 and a Curt Schilling auto relic numbered 19/50. Did pull a redemption card for a Matt Kemp for an auto-relic. Of course, it's expired, but I'm going to put the number in anyway at Topps and see what happens.
The 2009 box of Topps Tribute also was nice to me. Pulled a gold dual relic gold (I think) numbered 15/25 of Cal Ripken. This is another personal collection card. Pulled a base relic of Johnny Bench, a Blue auto/relic of Duke Snider, not too bad I don't think. Also a dual relic of Ichiro, and my 2 other auto/relics were Rick Porcello and Jay Bruce, neither of which is a top line auto, but that's ok I guess with the luck I've been having.
Well, I better quit writing and start getting some of this in my organizer. Seems like my organizer pile has gotten way bigger.
