crackin' max

it had been several years since i had participated in one of topher's charity group breaks at crackin' wax, but i felt the urge to roll the dice again and try my luck.  i started out with a topps heritage break that netted me quite a few of the dodger short prints in this year's set.  i followed that up with a stadium club break, and was the recipient of a fantastic on-card autograph of max muncy:

the fun didn't end there, as the funky muncy was back with another auto for me in the 2019 panini leather & lumber break:

i had opened a few packs of retail l&l previously, but this was hobby and so had all the crazy inserts.  case in point, this roy campanella die-cut lumberjacks card

which reminds me a bit of a car air freshener. still awesome, though.

there was even more muncy to be had in the 2019 panini donruss optic break i joined, as evidenced by this pink velocity parallel:

most recently i joined a 2019 topps chrome break that didn't bring any muncy cards home, but did result in a dennis santana autographed card:

i even decided to try a higher end break with 2019 panini immaculate (steve garvey has some cards in that set) and came away with a caleb ferguson dual relic/auto card

for my entry.  good stuff.

if you haven't taken a gander at topher's breaks, it is worth a look.  thanks topher!
