This Wil Myers card was also a window card, and I also received this
same card in another pack.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Repacks do grow on (Dollar) Trees
Yesterday, I showed off the unexpected Andre Dawson/Vlad
Guerrero insert I pulled in a Dollar Tree 30-card repack. I bought seven of the
packs, and here are a few more highlights that are a lot more what you’d
tradionally expect to get in this type of product.
First off, the best “window card” – the card showing through
on the packaging – was a 2016 Bowman Masahiro Tanaka. While this is a dupe for
me, it’s a lot easier of a choice for me to snag this card versus someone I’ve
never heard of.
There were a few Dodger cards through, and these were two of
the cooler ones. The Crawford is one of the foil variations, which isn’t a
terrible thing.
Glossy! Nearly each pack had a 1988 Fleer, and each was the
glossy version.
A few cards from a time I didn’t collect, and didn’t
recognize either card’s design. The Rollins is from 2007 Topps.
Gum stains were plentiful as well. If this were more recent
Heritage, these would be worth something.
Diecuts in a repack are cool!
Lastly, HOFers! Unlike Fairfield repacks, these don’t
guarantee X number of HOFers in each pack. However, there was no shortage. I’ll
add these to my son’s HOF binder.
