Great pulls! Weird that Walgreens would have 2022 UK... I am ready for a nap and not sure how much I am going to do today. PT was painful to say the least. She did some work on my shoulder blade for the first time and it is in pretty good shape. No PT again for a week and I see the doc next Wednesday to give a status report.

It came out of one of those 4 packs of 2025 Topps series 2 with the extra yellow card for 16.99 the Lewis came from one of those 2 pack with 3 loose cards for 9.99 mystery boxes which I bought 2 of at 9.99 each the packs were 2022 Topps uk and hobby packs of 2021 topps heritage. The 3 loose cards in one were 3 topps chrome 2022 in one of them which had a Shane Beiber aqua numbered 039/199 the other 3 loose cards were Topps 2022 the best being a Brandon Marsh rc. I would list this in the proper section but unless it’s the new stuff nobody really replies so telling you guys works better for me.
At least that explains the presence of the UK packs. It's more than fine to post this stuff in here. I post my show stuff here and don't hear too much whining about it.

About the same or cheaper than a blaster on a cost per pack basis.

Tomoyuki Sugano yellow rc
Adam Kloffenstein rc silver sand glitter
David Bednar pink sand glitter
Manny Machado summer superstars insert
Aaron Judge summer superstars insert

Plus the 4 stars of mlb which I didn’t get any big name rookies or stars. So all in all not bad for 16.99 I also bought a christmas ball tin which I did pretty good on also. I will list what I got if you care to see it.
4 packs for $16.99? I misread that and thought they were $9.99. Never mind my previous post that they were cheaper than blaster packs.

I haven't been to see them because of the Shingles and it being contagious.

I was planning on bringing coffee and donuts to them today when niece texted me and told me Tom was rushed to the ER yesterday with pneumonia and Mary was rushed to the ER this morning with blood in her stool.

So sad
Sometimes it seems you pick up weird stuff in a hospital that you wouldn't get elsewhere, like MRSA. Not always the best place to recover.

My phone went dead when I was trying to reply I like the mystery boxes as sometimes they can have older packs that have some value. I try to limit my breaks in here as I know there is a section but hardly anybody cares unless it’s the top of the line new stuff. I figure if I only list them when I pull something worthwhile it won’t be that much.

I am surprised I never caught MRSA when I worked on the ambulance as quite a few patients had it. What sucked is you had to empty all the supplies in the truck to decontaminate them, what would usually be a 20 minute process to service a truck took over an hour.

I’d do it if parents weren’t allowed to be there. They are the worst thing involved in youth sports. So that’s a no

Sometimes they have a really good player or rookie as the yellow card so that can help in the price ratio but yes as Bnut said it’s about 4.25 a pack which isn’t horrible but still overpriced.
