2019 Topps Big League blaster recap II

I'm still looking for 2019 Bowman Mega Boxes but I've been out of luck, so I relented to grab another $10 blaster of 2019 Topps Big League for featured box panel card - I feel like I’ve been in a funk because it hasn't been a priority to get to a Target just to see if there were any loose 2019 Bowman Mega Boxes left on the shelves.

When I finally show up to a random Target, I don't know if I'm hours late, a day late or a week late, but I don't see any Bowman Megas at all - while others have broken, shown off, hoarded or resold the Bowman Megas boxes that has come into their hands.

Exclusive box panel card
#B1 Shohei Ohtani - instead of chopping up the box for the panel with the card, maybe an easier way to save the card is to flatten the box and leave ‘as is.’

#274 Yonder Alonso - Topps has some fun with this retro uniform Photoshop on Alonso's card. Does it count for my collection of such cards when this is the original image used?

Cards like this might be more of a bigger offender, than seeing 'minor league' players in Bowman products cards Photoshopped in big league uniforms - I've heard the occasional veteran collector complaint about that.

#204 Cedric Mullins
