I got my package from Andrew today, which were my spoils from his 2013 Topps Update box break. In it, I got the Orioles and my random team was the Braves. I ended up with an Emerald Chris Davis, which I needed. I'm glad I didn't buy one. I still need most of his others but this one is a good start.
The biggest highlight of the box break was my being able to get this Manny Machado relic. It is only fitting, since I pulled an Adam Wainwright in my box and Andrew got the Machado. I guess I need to trade him the Wainwright to make things even.
Finally, I added a couple new Cal Ripkens to my collection, one of which is the above Ripken/Machado card. Pretty awesome card with two excellent players.
I feel like I made out pretty well in Andrew's box break. I kind of think that I need to do one myself pretty soon. I have these dreams that my first box break will be this epic undertaking, but maybe I just need to get something more contemporary and let er rip. We'll see.
Now, as for the Braves cards I got, I wonder what I'll be doing with them...?
