Nats From 2015 Group Box Break Plus Bonus Strive Cards

This is an ancient post that has been sitting in my draft queue for several years. I was holding off on it because I wanted to post scans of the cards. Well in recent months I have been trying to declutter my apartment and trying to get my card collection in a better more organized state. That means that most of sections of cards from mail days have been moved around and are in some kind of pre-sort mode (or actually added to their respective places in the collection) and are not available to be scanned at publishing time. Plus I really need to declutter my draft queue. So there will be no card scans of this post. 

If this post were on my regular card blog it would be part of my upcoming Maildazed From The Pazt series. 

Monday 14 September 2015
I got a package of cards from 5TooSweet’s (Abel) TCC Baseball Group Box Break. [NOTE: Sadly Able passed away a few years back, I forget the cause may have been cancer] Anyway I bought my standard homie team Nationals and bought a bonus discount team Twins. It was mostly just my Nationals I might have asked not to send Twins base and they didn't get any hits. I’ll only mention a team if it is not a Nat card.

Joy Of A Complete Team Set Now with Series Two. And Bonus Cards

 OK so a few months back I posted The Nats cards from Series 1 of the 2023 Topps Baseball set. It is now time for the rest of the team from Series 2.

389 Victor Robles

437 Lane Thomas

443 Luke Voit

447 Israel Pineda RC

470 Joey Meneses RC

498 Stone Garrett RC

629 MacKenzie Gore Future Stars

As per normal these days these cards came from a recent group box break that I get my current Nats cards from. Actually the series two cards were actually a bonus break unto itself. Additionally here are two insert cards from the regular break (at least I think they came from series one in the regular break).

The Nats still have an Ace up their sleeve (or do they?)

2023 Topps Baseball All Aces insert - AA-21 Stephen Strasburg

Going International:

2023 Topps Baseball World Baseball Classic - WBC-52 Joey Meneses Mexico 

I don't normally go for the World Baseball Classic stuff but this year the Mexico team uniform looks nice on this card.

2021 Topps Allen & Ginter Box Loader

 In one of my recent group box breaks (done in March) I got this sweet 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter Box Loader (I say Box Topper).

Joy Of A Complete Topps Team Base Set

 In a recent group break or actually two I got the base cards for the 2023 Topps Baseball Washington Nationals team set. One of the breaks was a half case or maybe full case break so I have some doubles. I also got a couple of parallels but D'Oh I didn't scan those. Well another post I guess. Anyway here is the base line up. This year it doesn't look like the Nats have any variant cards.

80 Tanner Rainey

130 Kiebert Ruiz

149 Josiah Gray

193 Luis Garcia

243 Evan Lee

244 Cesar Hernandez

257 Yadiel Hernandez

258 Erick Fedde

320 Cade Cavalli

35 CJ Abrams

316 Nationals Team Card

Back of card 316 Team Card

A Team Set Sort Of Topps 2022

I haven't purchased new packs or full sets this year, but have gotten some of the 2022 Topps Washington Nationals via a monthly box breaking group I have the Nats in. So except for 3 image variants and the NL batting leaders card I have the Team Set for series 1. The NL batting leaders card has one Nat Juan Soto and two Ex-Nats Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.

Last post I showed The Ryan Zimmerman sunset card from this set, this post is all the base Nats cards.

38 Mason Thompson

43 Josiah Gray

61 Jackson Reetz

116 Alcides Escobar

150 Juan Soto

158 Riley Adams

218 Washington Nationals Team Card

220 Gerardo Parra

296 Ryan Zimmerman
