1975 Topps Page by Page: Page 42 (370-378)

 I'm sure that you all remember that I finally completed my 1975 Topps set. 

Now that it's done I thought it would be fun to look through the set and talk about it. Going page by page seemed like a good way to go about it. Hopefully you find it interesting to read what I have to say.

How about we continue with page 42?

Red Sox Cards on the Page  

0. Once again, a shutout!

Cards that make the 1975 Topps set cool 

Cards of young Hall of Famers are cool. So, Tom Seaver certainly fits the bill.

My favorite card on the page 

On many pages, one of the three great hats would be candidates. The hats worn by Sharp, Hilgendorf, and Thomas are definite classics. But, I'm going to have to double up and say the Seaver is my favorite card of them all. Plus, he's a future Red Sox.

What would your answers to those last two categories be?

2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Blaster!

It's time to open another blaster! Well, actually, it's time to tell you about another blaster I already opened! This time we'll go with 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter. These packs are always fun because they offer a lot of variety. How'd I do? Let's see!

Here are the highlights...

You know, this here is the box.

And the box has eight packs, that all look the same.

Right away, some of that variety I spoke of. It's not in every blaster that you can get a card of "The Swamp". I don't know if that's a bad thing.

More variety. This time a shot of a building. Eh.

Ooh, a rock! Not even "The Rock". Just, a rock. 

A former Red Sox! I can't decide how I feel when Topps puts old players with obscure teams. On the one hand, Rays fans might like to get another card of Boggs in their uniform. On the other hand...are there Rays fans? Sometimes it seems like Topps is showing off..."We know Boggs used to be a Ray and Sandberg used to be on the Phillies. Did you?"

A mini of a colossal. That's funny right there.

Another former Red Sox! This time pictured with a much more standard team.

And, that's it. No actual Red Sox. Weirdly, all the base cards I got were of real-life baseball players. That's not supposed to happen. So, no fun and no Red Sox. 

Not sure if it could have gone worse.

How did yours go?
