An Update Jumbo Pack to Share

I really want to go to card show, but the closest one today would require me to spend three hours in a car and it usually only has about a dozen dealers. A week from today is the annual P-town card show and I know it's better to just wait another seven looooooong days.  Sigh.

To pass the time and feed the collecting monster within I bought a jumbo of Topps Update.  No Cubs were found and I'm not sure how that's possible with as many Kris Bryant cards that are in 2015 Update.  Bummer.

If you're interested in any of the cards just leave a comment. I'm not going to post pictures of them all, but I'll list the ones I don't show pictures of at the bottom. The Sox, both the White and Red, have already been claimed.

Let's start off with two of the three cards from the pack that I'll be keeping.
The Marlins don't get much love on the blogosphere, but Justin Bour player for the Peoria Chiefs! Woo-Hoo! Some P-town love!

 Zobrist went to high school thirty minutes away from P-town and he's chasing his first World Series ring. Go Royals!

 Trout and Pujols seems to be everywhere and here we have them stealing Nelson Cruz' card.  Rodon and Syndergaard may be the best rookie arms in the talented class of 2015.

 So, David Price gets a card as a Blue Jay, but Kyle Schwarber who made his MLB debut 45 days before the Price trade isn't in Update.  Boo!  Oh, and I still don't like the All-Star game hats.  Double Boo!

Maybe I'm just in a mood to complain, but how did Evan Gattis get dubbed as a Future Star? He played in 207 games for the Braves before being traded to the Astros.  Yet, he's now 28 and is considered a Future Star?  When I think of Future Star cards I think of the 1989 Topps Gary Sheffield or the 1987 Bo Jackson cards.  Those guys were future stars.  Evan Gattis is already thee full years into his MLB career.

Carlos Correa?  He's one heckuva talented ball player. That is all.

My gold parallel could have been a better player, but they do look sharp in person.

 The Rarity card of Mariano Rivera talks about earning a save on three pitches. 

I was happy to pull a Hammerin' Hank, but even happier to land the Josh Gibson card.  This is the last of the three cards which will stay in my collection.

 I like the Whatever Works insert set and I thought about chasing it, but ultimately I have decided against it.

 Whatever happened to Neftali Feliz?  I remember when he was a rookie sensation and the Rangers were in the playoffs.

Lastly, I landed one of the three hits from the Jumbo box. It's one of the Etched in History cards and it is a very thick card, because it contains one of those crazy manu-relics.

 I already have a taker for this one, but I thought I would show off my good luck.
