2018 Topps Big League - Red


And I'm closing the rainbow packs posts with this one.


Pack 5.


The first time I saw this I thought I was not seeing right..but yep. They do have a tank full of rays in their stadium. But since my team have a true eagle flying each and every single home game I should not be that surprised.

So count me +7.


Cannot quite count this as an outside the frame card. Is just the tip of it.


Ahhhhhhhhhhh but this one I can! Add me +3.




Two outside the frame cards in a row and one of them is also a RC. So that makes it +3 plus +3 and even an other +3


Stat-Kings again and with the same trio from other Stat-Kings I already got, but the other one was all about ERA and this one is WHIP. Baseball and its one thousand stats! At least the photos are different!

So this card is like +5 and more +10 for Severino in a Yankee uniform and my love for Sale also gives me +7 even if it also takes -5 for that Red Sox uniform (take it off..really don't mind..)


Not the best looking card..


Mookie is Mookie. Ok.. +7 for the icy insert and -5 for an other Boston card..


This was a very blue pack (even if it was in fact a red one) but I end it quite well with a golden Ripken Jr. Ancient logo and Ancient looking uniform with a player that could play forever that no one would care. End this with a +1 and  +7 for the All-Time Greats that truly is.


Result: 46



Pack 6.




Team Beckham!? Ohhhhhhh sorry.. Tim Beckham. +3 for the bat outside the frame.




One might be a rival, but one might be able to admire the other rival history and Red Sox Green Monster in Fenway Park is like a institution on its own. That's I add +7 and for this I don't mind taking -5.


Did Hosmer just hit a Ho(s)mer!?


An other Stat-Kings for the NL Saves. I confess I don't know any of them. But ok. Add +5


I really like this card..and even more so I add +5 for Bregman being a almighty Astro!


Buck for Buck thoughts. Because he looks a bit in pain. Still adding +7 to the result.


End the pack with the last touch of gold with Richards. I like it when pitchers wear gloves with the same colour as their uniforms. Is kinda of a nice touch. So +1.


Result: 23

  1. Love the Green Monster! That Bregman is sweet too. But why did Topps have to chop the ball in half? Why Topps why?

    1. I'm with you in that Bregman card..it would just be so nice to have the ball popping out of the frame!
