2011 Topps Blaster...Not Good, Topps.

I ordered a blaster box of Topps of MLB.com because I had a gift card and can always use baseball base cards for my TTM requests (especially with it being Spring Training!). I also really like the design on it this year! Anyway, here's how I did:

Champions Of Sport Minis

Ryan Zimmerman Throwback Patch (Expos; PC)

The worst part? About five packs in, the pack isn't sealed. Out falls the top of a Champions of Sport mini of a Marlins pitcher, heavily crimped. The next pack isn't sealed all the way, and holds the rest of the Josh Johnson mini...The card is crimped in half and completely destroyed. Its not worth the postage for me to send it back to them, but its the principle. I'm not too happy about that! Will definitely contact them to see what can be done.

All-in-all though, it was a pretty fun break. Lots of nice inserts, including one of my favorite player, Carlos Santana. MY Throwback Patch card was also of a player that I like, so I really can't complain there. I'm happy with the break, but the quality control (read: lack of) with the Johnson has left me a little salty. Oh well...Everything not makred PC is for trade; thanks for reading!
