Coolio Cards

Today I will be going over my first look of Topps Resurgence 2024.Sample size being a nominal blaster box but review worthy nontheless. The base cards are chrome with a very clean and sharp finish. The photos used for the design are execllent by creating the effect of motion on a still image. The qualit of this product feels high and the cards are consistent. Attached will be an image of 2 base cards and 1 with a holographic finish. Next we will discuss the inserts. Which play heavily on the themes of motion and lightning as well as energy. I want to specifically highilght "Conductors" & especially "Circuit Breakers" for their design and just being a cool card. From a collectors stand point the set is really hard to beat. In terms of value, the jury is still out, base on sample size. It being unlicensed at this time will also play a role. Have you purchased any resurgence? Let me know in the comments how you feel.

A 15 year long hiatus on card collecting this blog is officially back. I may have to switch to a more updated style but for now, I will to continue to post breaks and various pulls. I walked into my local hobby shop and purchased a hanger of Series 1 Topps Baseball, (2) Allen & Ginter retail blasters, and finally a box of 2021 Topps Chrome black. First off was the Allen & Ginter, a set I am particularly fond of, I think the last year I had was 2008 so definitely nostalgic for me. Nothing game changing but I was excited to see an unexpected relic, Morneau having been retired for a few years now was surprising but Ill take it over base. The Topps series 1 hanger had nothing spectacular so I'll leave that one out. As far as the Chrome Black I receieved Kyle Seager /75 as well as Deivi Garcia Rookie. The enclosed Auto was of Andrew Benitendi (in a royals uniform no less). Overall very underwhelming, hopefully doubling up on luck for next time.

Let me begin by saying welcome, for the first time, or maybe even an old reader. For the sake of simplicity, I want to discuss one story in particular, the play of Kyle Tucker (pictured) to begin this season. After losing Bellinger to free agency the Cubs lost nothing by trading for Tucker to their arsenal. Smashing 5 HR in under 20 games this year as well as barreling a league leading 8 Doubles, at a .324 clip, this subhuman performance is what'd you'd come to expect out of Tucker. A top 5 RF defensively, WS winner, Silver Slugger, and Golden Glove already in the trophy case, Tucker is somehow quitely etching his name into modern day baseball royalty year after year. The Cubs face dissapointment early with their ace going down for the season to injury. An extension to Tucker next year would make the Cubs an interesting team considering Tuckers pedigree, a couple prospects coming up, and what he can provide.
