Random Wax: 3Bros Baseball Pack

3Bros Baseball: Pedro is a favorite of mine.  He had some truly amazing seasons.  And a great personality.  Never one to shy away from a microphone.  He's also been a good analyst when given the opportunity.

This is the last of the four packs I purchased in 2022 at Dollar Tree.  They come with random baseball cards and plenty of fun.  You just don't know what you'll get.  Like this nice looking 2001 Fleer Triple Crown Charles Johnson card.

There is junk wax in these but that is still fun for $1.

What the packs looked like.

3Bros has an online store here.  Sparky looking like the wise veteran while Danny Heep looks like he is in high school.

Pozo had a total of 74 at bats in the majors and left with a .189 average while John Kruk was lots of fun and finished his career with a .300 average.  Three hall of famers in this pack and plenty of fun.  There are cards from across the eras and enough here that I'd buy more if I came across them.

Random Wax: 3Bros Baseball Pack

3Bros: Another of the packs I picked up from Dollar Tree in January of 2022.  We'll kick it off with this too cool Tim Raines card.  Every time I see it I think it is Tony Gwynn until I look in his glasses and see Raines running.  Raines went to the White Sox for five years after spending the first part of his career with Montreal.

Appropriate photo for Walker who was known for his defense and more specifically for that strong arm of his.  These MVP cards always felt a little weak to me in design but getting another card of greats from the era is good with me.  Part of the fun is getting cards from across the eras including this Diamond King and Sonny Gray is now the ace for the St. Louis Cardinals (though dealing with an injury to start the season).

Love Fleer stickers and I always liked 1991 Fleer even with that bright yellow border and lack of logo.

The packs each contained 10 cards. You can purchase packs and cards directly from their online website which has some interesting offerings.  

Interestingly enough Manwaring and Carter showed up in last week's 1988 Fleer post.  Fun cards and the '85 Topps Joe Carter pull is very nice.

Random Wax: 3Bros Baseball Pack

3Bros Baseball: Found these 3Bros packs in Dollar Tree last year.  This is the second of those four.  Lots of variety in these and fun which makes them an easy pickup.  Joe Carter could mash and is an appropriate part of the team MVP cards.

Pulled Hall of Famer Larry Walker.  No complaints there.  Also get to see those fun Expo jerseys.

Great looking Atlanta Braves sticker.

The packs.

Fun pack.  Maybe not the best of the four but for the price no issues.

3Bros Baseball Pack

3Bros Baseball:  I was familiar with 3Bros but this is the first time I've seen any of their packs in the wild.  I picked up four from Dollar Tree for some fun.  You won't get rich off them but you might find some cards that surprise you.  This one starts off with Hall of Famer Dave Winfield.

I'll show off the packs in individual posts.  Each pack has 10 cards ranging from the 80s to today.  Half the cards from this pack was from the 90s.  I do enjoy old Upper Deck and I always liked that design on the Morandini card.  I think the Electric Diamonds were a parallel but I'll admit that while I remember them I don't have anymore information on them.

A couple of Fleer offerings.  Each pack comes with a sticker.  I think the price on these packs were $1.  Seems like I had 10 cents per card in my head.

Who had more Manager of the Year awards?  Yep - Lou Piniella 3-2.  Who woulda thunk?

What the packs look like.  The 3Bros website offers a wide variety of options for purchasing cards.  Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, college, non-sport.  Packs, boxes, unopened original packs.  Even autos are included in some.  Just have to know you won't be getting top shelf cards.  I'm still intrigued and I might grab a box from them at some point. 

These are  fun and cheap.  Not sure I'll pick up more given the chance but I wouldn't bet against it either.  Curt Schilling is still not a Hall of Fame member but you have to think he would be in by now had he not shot himself in the foot.  Multiple times.
