Surprised: FedEx Mail Day
I was surprised when my FedEx guy showed up with a package from Topps.
I was due a few Bowman redemptions, and got 2/3 of them ....

Travis D'Arnaud purple mini auto and Blue Chrome auto.
Still waiting on my Kris Bryant auto

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.

LOL....now he is! Great stuff DrM. Nice looking cards...even though it's the dreaded (in your words) "Muts". I really like the mini chrome colored boarder parallels. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!
I'm not a TD supercollector, but I guess I'm 2 cards closer to being one
I pack pulled these from blasters, as well as the Kris Bryant I'm waiting on. Surprised that I didn't have to wait a year

Thanks Joe! The good thing about getting "Muts" cards is that Mets Fans are equally amiable to getting rid of their Yankee cards in a very civilized hostage exchange.
Mets for Yankees deal, anyone?

Thanks! This is the first time in 3 years that I don't have more than 1 redemption with Topps unredeemed.

My Bryant will probably be sent out 2 weeks after his card value plummets
I didn't get a chrome redemption, so maybe it's a lousy sticker auto for a paper card that has yet to be stickered? I guess I'll know soon enough.

Thanks! I do appreciate that the 2 cards have a different picture. Although he's from the wrong NYC borough, I do like his signature and the fact that at least its his rookie card and not a Mutts prospect.
