I Bought A Pack of Cards

I had a 50 cents off coupon from a pack of 2016 Series 1 my wife bought me (that wasn't worth posting).  The other day I needed to go to Target so I picked up the cheapest pack there is, 2016 Topps Opening Day.  So for 50 cents here's what I got in the only pack I've purchased this year
This pack design is a bit garish but it does feature a great group of players.

Does anyone else think of the Italian cookie when this guy comes up to bat?
Two guys, same expression.
Have you noticed that the newer the franchise is the more times they change their uniform design.  I'm glad the Blue Jays already went retro.
Horrible execution on this one (I think I've seen it said before).  It could almost be a Panini card. 
 
There's always room in baseball for a guy nicknamed "Moose"

  1. Random thought for today: The Royals need a player nicknamed "Squirrel" so they can have "Moose and Squirrel"... Then they would need Boris Badenov to work in their broadcast booth...

    Been thinking "Biscotti" ever since I saw the young man on a Pro Debut card. Sorry, Stephen.

  2. Yeah that Tulowitski really is awful. I don't know why Topps seems to struggle so much with the inserts year to year...
