Random Pack Breaks

I grabbed some random hanger packs and blasters recently when I had some money burning a hole in my pocket.  Not bad for Red Sox pulls, though Topps Chrome and Heritage High Numbers were total busts (again):

1.  Diamond Kings.  This is probably the best pull, since there were only 20 cards in that pack.  I pulled two Red Sox, including J.D. Martinez and Hall of Famer Tris Speaker.  I have been reading a lot of Red Sox books from the Deadball Era, so I definitely appreciate the Speaker card.  I need to start looking into adding some more vintage stuff to my collection.

2.  Bowman Platinum.  J.D. Martinez makes his second appearance.  This also featured a nice insert of top prospect Triston Casas.  Boston might have a decision to make soon since Casas plays third base, also known as the position Rafael Devers plays.

3.  Donruss Optic.  I pulled this Betts Highlights insert in the very first pack.  The rest of the box was disappointing.  Tons of Angels, including consecutive packs that featured two Shohei Ohtani inserts and then two Mike Trout inserts.  Still, out of 32 cards, I pulled a decent Red Sox insert.  Nothing to complain about.

Here is the breakdown:

LOS ANGELES ANGELS: 9

Quite a bit a movement here.  The Red Sox fall just short of being the first team to 100.  They lose ground on the second place team, now the Angels though.
