Some newer card show recaps #4

I went through a table that had a ‘5 for $1’ box and started grabbing loose 2021 Topps Home Run Challenge contest / code cards - I don’t think they were scratched, so maybe I can use them, even though I consider them throwaways after I've used the cards for the codes.

I scratched off cards of Pete Alonso, Eugenio Suarez, Nolan Arenado and Giancarlo Stanton last week - Alonso and Stanton ended up being winners for me, so I await my prize cards in several months.

I missed on using a code for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - not that I would have picked the right date, but he's been on an absolute tear and hit 3 straight home runs over the weekend.

Star power - I started to pull cards including some cheap binder material cards to add shine to my indidivual player collections.

Miscellaneous

2020 Bowman Chrome Mega Box Mojo refractor Noah Song #BCP161 - he was the prospect who had to fulfill obligations to go to Navy flight school.
2020 Donruss Optic T-Minus insert Deshaun Watson #TM-10 - I thought this NFL card was pretty neat looking, though it's probably an 'infamous' add.
2020 Topps Chrome refractor Andrew Heaney #28 - I'm sure I have my share of Heaney's but this parallel goes towards my Angels Opening Day starters set.
2020 Topps Chrome X-Fractor Scott Kingery #64 - maybe some base running, dirt fetish or hats-off add.
2020 Topps Stadium Club Chrome Mitch Garver #20 - gum card
2020 Topps Stadium Club Chrome Xfractor Justin Turner #45 - honestly, he's not a decade stars / binder guy for me, but might as well be.
2020 Topps Stadium Club Chrome refractor Salvador Perez #206 - tools of ignorance
2021 Topps Series 1 History of Topps insert Sy Berger / first complete set #HOT-3
2021 Topps Series 1 History of Topps insert Topps Receives MLB Exclusive #HOT-7

Miscellaneous prospects - it's a little confusing and redundant [even if the checklist was actually different], but intriguing to see there were Mega Box Mojo refractor cards for both 2020 Bowman and 2020 Bowman Chrome; unlike the cards from recap #1, these loose cards came from 2020 Bowman Chrome Mega Boxes.

I think it's awesome that Guerrero is tearing it up. Hopefully he'll continue to play well... along with Tatis. It's cool that they are both 2nd generation guys that were part of the same rookie card year.
