Just got 2 boxes ... Nothing overly impressive ... Of course, I like the retro look

Andy Benes /50 auto

Nice looking cards. The Benes should have been in Cardinals uni though

I love those "Mother's Cookies" looking cards ... remember when they used to give those out at the games? I have a McGwire from back in the day, it's one of my favorites.

My favorite card in the bunch is Whitey. You scored a lot of PC there, Doc.

I also bought a 2016 archives blaster box at target. I wasn't going to top the Correa Red Ink Auto I pulled from a 2016 Heritage Box, but I came away happy. I pulled a Strausburg 2009 draft pick card, a Greg Bird Blue Border 156/199 RC, and a Rollie Fingers Archives Fan Favorite Autograph Card. plus Bryce Harper and Sonny Gray 69 Super Cards.....not bad

at least you got a hit, i bought 1 blaster because i happened to see them and i got jack squat in mine...literally just base stuff and the one bull durham card (same you got)

I'm always amazed how flimsy archives feels

I love the Whitey Ford. It's a different view and a low angle picture. Love it.

True, Benes in a Cards uni would be better for everyone!

I never got any of those giveaways. Perhaps it was a regional thing. I don't remember there being a Mother's Cookies company / distribution at any time that I lived in NYC.
These cards are supposedly a replication of the 1969 Super cards ... But regular size instead of Super. ... A mini-super ?

Fingers auto trumps a Benes Auto any day of the week! Great hit!

Agreed, they are on very thin cardboard.
I've been fairly lucky with retail this year. Last season suked real badly, so maybe it's just leveling out for me.

Yeah, lots of Yankees right there!
And just a 'heads up' .... Same with Diamond Kings, BTW .... There are a TON of new and old Yankees in that base set, too.

I guess they found a new picture to start over utilizing. I'm guessing we'll see that picture in Triple Threads, Museum and Tribute very soon.

Not bad!
I got a blaster and two hanger packs. Nothing much to speak of, but did pull Phil Nevin and Al Kaline SPs from the hangers.
