There ya go, the same two chrome prospects/WBCs showed up in the next packs as base cards. Man Topps, couldn’t even kick in a refractor to make my butt hurt a little less? Wasn’t expecting greatness, but apparently my expectations were too high since I didn’t expect stupidity.
I was very heavily considering a hobby box of this in the near future, because for once, I actually liked Bowman a lot this year… but I’m never going to buy so much as another pack of it ever again without a damn good explanation. And this combined with the f***ed up patch from my Series 1 Topps blaster awhile back, I don’t think I’ll be getting any more Topps blasters of any kind for a helluva long time either. And knowing Topps pulled this sort of crap with the National Prides, Baseball Highlights Sketches, and possibly the Hoodwinks in Allen & Ginter, I’m not even feeling buying anymore of THAT anytime soon, and A&G is my favorite set of the year.
Way to go Topps, another satisfied customer.
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JOKING???
