During a stop at an outlet mall, maybe I wanted to see if I can look for a blaster box of cards - I was gifted some cash money [$40] and maybe I go to one the specialty places that sells sports stuff like hats or jerseys, where I've seen they usually have a card display.
I ended up at a Lids and seeing their promotion with Topps, where you can get a bonus pack of special Topps Chrome cards with a purchase of themed Mitchell and Ness hat - figured I had the money that partially covered a purchase of a fitted cap without feeling as self-conscious because I don't wear hats, especially ones that cost $50.
The designs vary by MLB team and also by different Topps themed graphics - I got a California Angels version and while it's not a traditional looking cap, it ends up being kind of funky looking sort of in a stylish way.
The side of the cap features a stylized 1993 Topps patch Topps Major League Baseball button of sorts affixed on top of the cap I like the big old-school 'CA' logoI was looking forward to at least a five-card pack, but Topps ends up being a little stingy with only a three-card bonus pack - it's hard to strike gold with one lousy pack, where I only ended up with Gabriel Moreno, some
kind of rookie for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Bryce Harper and another rookie in
Jordan Walker.
I know that I'm out of touch with just about everything at this point, but even so, $50 for a hat seems bonkers to me.
ReplyDeleteIt was a FOMO moment for me but yeah, the only hats I've bothered to wear over the past 30 years are from stadium giveaways.
