So sometime late last year, I was picking through a dollar box at the local show. And I found a Topps Chrome Aaron Judge. Not usually a buy for a dollar, but as many of you know, you can take Topps Chrome cards of last year's MVPs in to local card shops for a $20 in store credit. There were only a few days left until that offer expired, so I made a rare card shop trip.
The shop was a nightmare. I doubt I will be back for a long time. Over half of it was Pokemon, when it used to all be sports cards. Tons of old smelly guys with annoyed looks on their faces pushing through crowded spaces. Bummer.
But I found Topps Holiday Mega Boxes, which usually sell for $40+ for only $29.99. And with my Judge to trade in, I got it for $10. A fun rip, which for $10 seems like a holiday miracle for me. Anyway, here is what I got in my box.
Variations and a 'hit'
And believe it or not, that's all the scans I took, back when this box actually got ripped. So whatever other interesting cards were in there, you'll just have to use your imagination!
A Judge for a Judge! I completed this set earlier this year. They did a great job with the design!
ReplyDeleteAwesome swap!
ReplyDeleteNice Judge Santa hat
ReplyDeleteThat shop sounds terrible. Not a fan of sifting through boxes of Pokemon cards surrounded by smelly dudes :D
ReplyDeleteI actually liked the 2024 edition of Holiday so much that I completed the set. And the funny thing is that I am not a set builder, but it gave something to do for a couple of months. I would say getting the Judge Santa in the box paid for the exchange.
ReplyDeleteI like the Holiday cards, but so far, I've managed to keep it to singles.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see what those MVP trade-ins can yield. This blaster was much better than a single base card. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNot bad! Surprised the Judge was available for you in the dollar boxes.
