Go Red! 2019 Tops Stadium Club Red Foil Carlton Fisk

February is American Heart Month. As a nod to the Go Red for Women activities going on this month to help raise awareness, I thought I'd contribute several "red" themed posts sprinkled throughout the month. Here's the next one.


Let's talk about this card...



When Fisk left Boston as a 33 year old catcher, I wonder how many people would have guessed he had more than half his career left in front of him. That division of time makes it all the more remarkable that the Red Sox have managed to reclaim him as one of their own. Especially since his home run is no longer the best World Series moment in the last sixty years.

The card itself is really nice. As always, the red foil works well on the Red Sox card. Even with the pullover jerseys, it gives off a classic elegant feel that I enjoy. The image, too, seems to invoke the feel of so much motion for what is basically a posed shot. I can't really say much about it, other than to say I'm glad the text does a great job hiding to let the image speak for itself. Well done.

2019 Topps Stadium Club Blaster!

You may remember that the Easter Bunny was good to me this year, bringing plenty of card packs for me to open. I'm still working my way through the boxes. I thought I'd continue to share them with you because, well, some of you might like it.

We'll continue with the next box, a box of 2019 Topps Stadium Club!

I'm sure you've all seen plenty of this set by now. But, you can always skip over this. Right?

So...here are the highlights...


That's right! Here we have the rare and elusive...unopened box!


OK. Here's an actual highlight. A beautiful shot of JD Martinez. Love how Stadium Club doesn't let the design interfere with the photo.


This is an absolutely gorgeous shot of Section 36. My one complaint? You'd think that in a set focused on photography, Topps would have done a better job of cropping that guy with a bat out of the shot. really takes it down a notch.

Not the world's best box. But, anytime you see Section 36 you've had a good day.

How did your box go?
