2013 Topps Series 1 baseball

2013 was a quiet year in my collecting calendar. My house was being torn apart and slowly put back together, so all my cards were safely packed and locked away in the shed.
It is only just in the last few months that I started to properly clear my shed. I have unearthed some hidden gems and not just baseball wise. 
I also have this chance to update the vacancy lists.  
It is not often that I need so many cards from Topps flagship set however there are quite a few still needed in 2013. I completely missed Topps Archives this year as well, which is really annoying as I have enjoyed Archives in the past few years.
I still need these Red Sox from Series 1 and 2:
#15 Dustin Pedroia 
#32 Craig Breslow 
#64 Will Middlebrooks 
#66 Daniel Nava 
#91 Alfredo Aceves 
#118 Daisuke Matsuzaka 
#279 Vicente Padilla 
#291 Ryan Sweeney 
#301 Jarrod Saltalamacchia 
#348 Jonny Gomes 
#555 Joel Hanrahan 
#618 Koji Uehara 
#659 Mike Napol

Three packs to get the ball rolling. Each pack contains 12 cards and the front suggests I look for exclusive red bordered cards which means these cards were purchased in Target.

Pack 1:
#9 Ryan Braun Brewers
#39 Scott Feldman Rangers
#42 Detroit Tigers
#43 R.A.Dickey Mets Emerald Foil
#93 Austin Kearns Marlins 
#142 Tony Cingrani Reds
#169 Brad Ziegler D-backs
#175 A.J.Ramos Marlins
#210 Vernon Wells Angels
#214 Curtis Granderson Yankees
#240 J.J. Putz D-backs
#322 Alex Gonzalez Brewers

Pack 2:
#44 Anthony Rizzo Cubs
#95 AL league Leaders
#108 Kendrys Morales Angels
#130 Jason Motte Cardinals
#166 Logan Ondrusek Reds
#205 Ryan Theriot Giants
#256 Madison Bumgarner Giants
#271 Jeurys Familia Mets
#275 Johnny Cueto Reds
#278 Christian Garcia Nationals
#280 Rafael Dolis Cubs
#CD-17 Addison Reed White Sox

Pack 3:
#14 Paul Konerko White Sox Red border
#121 Delmon Young Tigers
#162 Kyle Seager Mariners
#190 Daniel Descalso Cardinals
#191 Chris Capuano Dodgers
#200 Scott Downs Angles
#201 Jonny Venters Braves
#266 Albert Pujols Angels Checklist
#292 Matt Thornton White Sox
#302 Aaron Hill D-backs
#304 Kyle Drabek Bue Jays
#CD-7 Jesus Montero Mariners

So I am no closer to completing the 2013 Red Sox.

  1. Jack, Night Owl alerted me to your blog as the result of a post I did recently regarding the European collectors in the blogosphere. I am certain that I can knock out all or almost all of your 2013 Topps Sox needs (and probably a few more from other years too). If you are interested, please send me an e-mail at off(dot)hiatus(dot)baseball(at)gmail. Thanks! Tony
