2021 Opening Day: We are so close to playoff baseball it's hard not to be excited. We'll kick off this Friday with a blaster of 2021 Topps Opening Day and future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols.
Freddie Freeman is having a historic season hitting doubles like nobodies' business. Unfortunately, Mike Trout's season ended due to injury....again. Harper dealt with some injuries as well but bounced back with a really good year leading the Phillies to the playoffs.
Some of the young players in the box.
You get retired legends which is always a good thing. I won't say these designs wow me but I like seeing these guys on fresh cardboard.
I really like these inserts and Yadi is a an all-time great and PC guy.
Mascots are a fun part of the set. That Dubon is an Opening Day Edition parallel.
Even the backs of the mascot cards can be fun.
An all-time Royal fan favorite in Alex Gordon and another Yadi card. I've always been a fan of Opening Day and sorry Topps went away from it. Hopefully it comes back some day.

Freeman with the COVID "fan" wins it.
ReplyDeleteThe Phanatic is the best mascot.
Covid fan... I missed that. Great catch.
DeleteI hope Opening Day comes back too, but having just the logo be the essential main difference is too lazy. Having the border be a different color like the early OD releases would be nice again
