Topps Holiday Advent Calendar - Day 13

 The second half of the Topps Holiday Advent Calendar opens tonight. Time to open door number 13 (shout out Olivia Wilde)





We start off side B with another standard 5-card pack:



and the usual configuration, three base / one Plaid parallel / one Nice List insert:


Another Red Sox base card for the PC, and a third straight Tiger card. The brilliant Boston braintrust traded away a Cy Young award winner in Sale for Vaughn Grisson - who they just traded away. The Crochet trade was supposed to make up for that, and yet the Sox are trying to reacquire the prospect they sent to Chicago in that trade?!? Oh, and they seem to be doing feck all in free agency this year. Yay.



Pack #14 tomorrow. Can the Sox make it three in a row? Can the Tigers make it four straight? 




Thanks for reading!

    I opened up my entire advent calendar yesterday (don't have the patience to open one pack a day). Having the base in hand, I was actually impressed with the holiday design.

      You had the right idea. I've realized there isn't enough excitement to drag this out day by day.
