2019 Topps Fire Blaster!

OK. So the Chrome and Leather and Lumber blaster posts were so much fun, thought it mades sense to try another one. After all, there's like a new release coming out every 36 hours these days. So, lots of opportunities for buying new cards! This time, I'm working with 2019 Topps Fire.

Let's see how it goes!

Here are the eight packs. Seven regular packs, and one extra special Gold Minted Parallel Pack! We'll start with that one first.

This seems like a good time to mention that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Not only is it a good time to GoGold to show your support, but it's an even better time to make a donation. Every little bit helps. If you have a favorite cancer charity, get in touch. Looking for a good one? I, of course, support the Jimmy Fund like any good Red Sox fan. If you can help, help.

The special gold pack even revealed a Red Sox card. While the gold tends to make this card a little bland, and a little less "Fire-y", it's still a great card of the Red Sox ace.

Another pack, another Sale insert This one is from the Flamethrowers insert set. 

This pack also contained a base card of the other Red Sox ace David Price. It's a nice way to see what the base cards look like. They're a lot better looking than the gold ones.

Another pack, and guess what. Another Chris Sale! This one is his base version for the first time. Again, the colors really pop to make this a very attractive card. When it's not blurry.

No Chris Sale in this pack. Odd. But, it did have this card of former Red Sox ace Jon Lester. 

Ooh. I like this one. I saw Vlad Jr a few times in the minors. He absolutely stood out as the best player on the field. I was waiting to see what he'd do in the majors. He hasn't disappointed.

Will there ever be a time when I can open a pack of cards and NOT get a Derek Jeter in it? I suppose if I can't get a Red Sox card, might as well be a card with two Yankees on it. I can probably move that one along pretty easily.

Along those lines, here's an orange parallel of Yankees ace (?) Luis Severino numbered to 299. Hopefully this one will be easy to find a new home for.

So, there you have it. Not a bad haul, especially the Sales. If you're going to get that many cards of one player, I'm glad it was that many different cards of a key Red Sox player. 

Get anything good in your box?
