The Grady Boxes: Box 5

A few times a year, blog reader and good friend Grady M (@gradyfishinsea), sends me a box full of goodies. He has been doing this for many years since we met on my Facebook page.

These boxes usually consist of my four New York teams, some player collections and so much shiny that I have no other choice but to smile.

I never know what is arriving and what surprises hide within until it arrives. But I do know that it will be fun.

So, when Grady sent me a Christmas box round of cards, I had a hard time waiting until Christmas to open it, but I did.

Inside of the big box it came in, were multiple empty blaster boxes full of treasure.

I thought to myself, how does one post so many cards on a blog without spamming it completely. After much thought, I sat down and decided I would show off some, yes some, of my favorites from each blaster box.

Let's take a peek of what was inside of this 2023 Topps Allen And Ginter blaster

I kept asking and begging people to trade me the Halloween parallels from this year's Topps Update, but nobody would.  Fortunately, I found some in my Grady box.

(looks like Rod Beck to me)

These are cool, but my favorite ones are the pumpkins, ghosts, cats, etc. If you have any of those from any player, I am interested in trading for them!!

More playing cards! Think I have five of them now for my set chase.

 

And two new Lamar Jacksons for that side PC. Always excited to add shiny ones.

Well, that does it for the final box in this series.

A big thanks goes out to Grady for his continued generosity to my collection.
