2 weekends ago my son had a baseball tournament which included a 3 hour gap in between games. We used that down time to eat and hit up a card shop. I bought a few supplies for myself, and a 2021 Big League hobby box that my son opened with 3 of his teammates. It was fun watching the 4 of them work out a few trades and being excited to pull a simple base card from their favorite team. Once the dust settled, here is what I was left with.
Other than my son, none of the other players liked the Cardinals. We had a Cubs, Mariners, and Dodgers fan also. That worked out well for my team set.
Each of the 18 packs had an orange border parallel. There were a few big names included like Robert and Tatis.
The 4 Art of the Game inserts had some big names. I was a little surprised none of the boys wanted the Vlad or Trout cards.
The most popular insert among the boys was the Wanted cards. I believe they pulled 4 of them. Soto is the only 1 that came home with us. They liked the looks of the Defensive Wizards insert, but the players were not too exciting. I already have a copy of the Goldschmidt, so this one will go in the trade box.
Our 1 per box rainbow foil was Ryan Jeffers. Only 1 of the players had heard of them, but had zero interest in the card. More trade bait for me. It was a blast watching the boys open the box. They sat their and sorted the base cards after they finished trading. A big thank you to the store owners who featured them on their Facebook page and gave each one of them a snap case for their cards.
