Hey, everyone! Normally, we have something close to a "2-for-Tuesday" around here on Tuesdays, but tonight, I am ripping a bunch. These will be packs. Remember, we've had a TON of loose cards donated and I'll do a special "break" of those at some point (this weekend, most likely) which will break all previous records for the sheer number of cards "busted" in one post.
You may recall that my goal is to have EVERYTHING busted by the end of the season. At one point, I was down to a few packs. Thanks to your generosity, I've got quite a surplus! So, let's get ripping!

With all the 1989 Topps we've opened this season, it's hard to believe we still have free agents coming to light. Man, our final draft will be the biggest yet, I'm betting. Either way, hats off to all the managers listed here and a special congrats to Dayf for his back-to-back snag.

Way to go Samuel - nice Back-to-Back! Interesting mix of cards in there. I feel like Forrest Gump: never know what we're gonna get.
Next up, we have a cello pack of what looks like 2013 Topps Archives:

Clayton Kershaw - Dodgers - Sngldddy (Wahoo!!0

Hot dog, we hit for the cycle on this one! Way to go, folks! I realize you have no "control" over the pulls, per se, but if you hadn't picked these players, they would still be free agents. That is why I congratulate the managers.
Thanks for stopping by tonight! There will be more to come as we wind down the regular 2013 MLB season!
