2016 Topps series 1 jumbo - live break

Mighty Bombjack · Feb 16, 2016

I like to do a live break just so I can slow down by posting any inserts pack by pack. Will open the first in a minute.

RECAP: I always order a box of jumbo for flagship, and I always enjoy breaking it. I got my two memorabilia cards (one manufactured, meh) and one auto as advertised. As I said in my other post here, I like Topps to have a border, especially when there are so many parallels (I pulled a black and a pink, and I struggle to tell the difference without the numbering). I don't believe I got any SP/SSPs, but will have to go through and recheck. I also hope I got a set, but am unsure.

Let me know if you need anything (Harvey GU already claimed)

First Pitch - Mo'ne Davis
Back to Back - Martinez/Griffey
Berger's Best - Hank Aaron
Perspectives - Rusney Castillo
Gold parallel - Nolan Arenado 0373/2016

I love the Arenado as a Rockies fan; he might be the only thing worth watching on the team in the next few years.

I like the Perspectives insert.

Good luck on your break!

I'm pissed Mark Grace's pitching performance wasn't included into the "Pressed into Service" insert. I do agree it's a fun idea for an insert.

Pack 4

Back to Back - Votto/Phillips
Berger's Best - Albert Pujols

Thanks. Yeah, that seems like a pretty big oversight. He is a bigger star than Garrett Jones, so I wonder if it was an error or purposeful to leave him off of the checklist.
