Topps Chrome and A&G Blasters

After my luck changed with the Stadium Club blaster, I decided to see if I could pull some decent cards out of two new sets: Chrome and Allen & Ginter.  A&G in particular appealed to me because I knew Jason Varitek was in the set.  I started with the Chrome and pulled zilch.  Then I went for the A&G and things were looking real bad, until in the last pack, I pulled these:

This folks, is why I buy packs.  I have not pulled a Red Sox relic or auto since 2013.  I keep track.  It quickly turned around my luck.  Sure, it's not a great relic pull, but it is still exciting.  Especially because of how rare it is that I pull a Red Sox card.  Of course Rick Porcello is not a huge name and will be one of the more obscure pitchers to win a Cy Young Award, but it is still a relic card.  And for an added bonus, I pulled the Yaz card as well.
