Angels lot purchase - tha other muthas

2019 Panini Diamond Kings The 300 Nolan Ryan #8 - listed as a Angels card, Ryan had his thugged-out lil' prime years up in tha 1970s, long before I was a twinkle up in mah fathers' eye.

Like tha previous post holla'd, I just aint had tha opportunitizzle ta rummage all up in loose cardboard like other bloggers - I gotta find mah skanky cardboard thrills other ways.

I found a Angels themed Diamond Mackdaddys lot, highlighted by a gangbangin' finger-lickin' sharp lookin Mike Trout bat card - these is tha other cardz dat came wit tha Trout cards.

2019 Donruss Independence Day David Fletcher #36 - in addition to a couple of Albert Pujols inserts from 2018 Panini Diamond Kings, this patriotic card of tha Angels spark plug might done been added on as extras.

2019 Panini Diamond Kings 2004 DK Retro Crowning Moment Plum Frame Vladimir Guerrero #2 - sorry fo' tha long title, dis card belongs ta tha Angels legend whose lil hustla is lookin ta cook up a impact up in Da Six.

2019 Panini Diamond Kings DK 205 Shohei Ohtani #6 - these is drab n' snooze worthy yo.

2019 Panini Diamond Kings Gallery of Stars Shohei Ohtani #12 - an artsy fartsy, run all up in a photo editor card of tha Japanese bat pimp juice slugger.

2019 Panini Donruss Highlights Albert Pujols #2 - serial #'d to 999; This card is so shiny, it pops mah eyes out.

2019 Topps Heritage Albert Pujols SP #422 - even it don't pop as much cuz it aint nuthin but a retro design, the MLB logos on dis card give it soul.

2019 Topps Heritage blaster box

I think Topps Heritage is just another brand, but that is how I've felt about current-year releases in recent years - at least there might be something about Heritage feeling a little old-timey, especially with the thicker card stock.

I sort of like the heaviness of the packs in a blaster - it's kind of like a brick and it almost doesn't feel like a waste spending $20 for a casual rip of baseball cards.

The grey borders do seem boring and maybe drab, but that is how the original 1970 cards look - the inserts I might find in an average box may stand out a bit more than the base cards, though I would assume any particular one wouldn't be too hard to find if I wanted them outright.
