2019 Topps Big League blaster recap

I was looking for 2019 Bowman Mega Boxes at a random Target stop but didn’t find any - so I relented to grab a blaster this other baseball product that might have just come out.

I like the cards though a concern has always been the card stock because they seem a little fragile - I’m not going to be literally playing with my cards, but I do like the flip through them and feel like these cards shouldn’t be handled too much.

The non-glossy finish on the cards maybe prone to fingerprints and blemishes - I can’t complain too much and the design seems to be much nicer than the debut issue last year, though I probably won't embrace it like it’s some awesome product for a penny pincher collector.

Exclusive box panel card

#B3 Mike Trout - I tore the panel with the card from the rest of the box and I’ll leave it as it is instead of trying to actual cut it out.

I think my favorite thing about this year's Big League are the box panel cards. Takes me back to the 80's.
