A Half Century of Topps

The local Walmart is typically weeks behind the rest of the collecting world, but not this year.  A trip to the store over the weekend brought me some Topps 2018 packs.  This is big news because I've never seen loose packs here before.  It's been blaster, hangers, and other assorted packaging, but never packs.

I snagged three, two to rip and one to display.

You can tell that this is a Walmart pack because of the yellow band at the top.  I am chasing those Kris Bryant cards.  More on that in the near future.

With this pack, I now have a half century of Topps packs on display, starting with 1969 and running through 2018.  I can squeeze in one more pack on the bottom shelf and then in 2020 I'll need to add another.
