I struck out when I tried to find 2017 Topps on it's release date, but managed to track some down yesterday. The only products available were boxes with one large cello-wrapped pack inside.
I grabbed one. Here's the top card. Yet another long-haired Mets pitcher. Kaz scored.
The rear card looked interesting...
I opened the pack, and three cards in, I pulled my first Dodger of 2017...
I think Van Slick is raising his knee in an attempt to protect himself from that dangerous looking pointy thing aimed at his Van Privates.
I pulled a couple more Dodger players.
Howie, don't land on that pointy thing!
What's with that spear tip endangering all my Dodgers?
My cello-pack contained a few inserts, some easier to catch than others...

"I don't pitch on shabbos!" |
These 5-Tool player inserts are cool, but I wish Hanley was pictured as a Dodger...
Here's the rear...
I caught a few MLB Award inserts. Here's one for the Kris Bryant Marching and Chowder Society...
These blue ones are seeded 1:133.
This card is a Father's Day insert, but I guess not a Father's Day parallel? Hmmmm.
Here's my favorite card from the bunch...
These red ones are seeded 1:265
I pulled around six of these League Leader cards...
Finally, that Ryno card...
Well, that box was Cubs-heavy, but that's what happens when you win the World Series. At least the Cubbies are finally pushing the Giants out of heavy rotation.
Aloha!
