PACK WARS: EPISODE 3 "The Big Hit"

Welcome back to another Pack Wars.

Today, we have a battle of Allen & Ginter blasters. One from 2020 and one from 2021. I have never had any luck with Allen & Ginter blasters before and wasn't expecting anything again. Usually it's just the typical base and inserts which is okay because it helps out my non sport PC.

VS

Let's rip them open and see how it goes.

First up, the 2021 rip

Rookie mini insert

Broccoli rookie card!!

Far, Far away. Some days I think that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Mini inserts

A pair of Historical Hits inserts

Murad insert

Some fun non sport inserts for my PC.

Once again, 2021 Ginter proved to me what I have always known, the blasters come with nothing.

Next up, 2020 blaster I found last year and held onto.

Two new non sport PC cards. Not a bad start to this blaster. Ken Jeong is on my autograph needs list.

Minis. I was excited to find a Chip Gaines.

Where Monsters Live insert. I have the set of these, pretty cool stuff.

A few more for the non sport PC.

More inserts, the building card is pretty cool.

Having grown up on two farms, I really liked this insert series and the design is pretty well done as well. I like the framing.

And it was looking like the typical blaster of Allen & Ginter until.........second to last pack.......

As some would put it...I was shaking. HOLY CANOLI BATMAN. What a pull!!!!!! By far the biggest retail hit of my life.

When it comes to this battle, there is only one obvious winner. But, as always, I will let you guys decide that anyways in comments.

RAK Friday Takes Flight!

Every Friday on Twitter, I host a RAK (random acts of kindness) thread where you list what you collect and search what everyone else does and find someone to send a mail day to. It's a pretty easy concept that has grown week by week.

One of my last threads on there, a new follower liked my concept and said he would like to pass me something along as a thanks. 

 

The generosity in this hobby is amazing.

 

@MikeyC1044 sent out my RAK pretty fast and I got it a few days later.

 

Inside was a mini mail day. You will see what I did there when you look below.

Some sports minis. A couple of players for my player binder and the rest for my inserts.

Cabrera goes in my player binders as well.

A new piece for my non sport PC with Behemoths Beneath. The oddballs in this product is the true allure of it.

  

And a key card off my Top 20 want list is this Ken Jeong mini. I still need the base card but this is a start. Besides wanting the autograph.

Thanks to Mikey C for the mail day and for joining in on my thread every Friday. I hope everyone who hasn't joined in yet on my threads, will do so. It's a lot of fun to make someone else's day and in 2020, we all could use some extra smiles.
