Decided to open a box of 2013 Topps tribute and 2013 Bowman Platinum. Nothing too great, so the cards are FT unless otherwise noted.
Bowman Platinum
Blue Sapphire Rookie Reprint: Duke Snider
Gold: 35 (Giancarlo Stanton), 63 (Heyward), 74 (Odorizzi RC), 85 (Jose Fernandez RC)
Ruby: 91 (Darin Ruf RC)
Blue: 48 (Cole Hamels)
Chrome Prospects: 49 (Puig-NFT), 57 (Nicolino), 69 (Kolten Wong), 80 (D.J. Davis), 90 (Ozuna)
Top Prospects: JF (Fernandez), OT (Taveras), GC (Cole), TD (D'Arnado), AM (Meyer-NFT)
Daimond In the Rough: HA (Hanser Alberto)
Refractors: 29 (Matt Barnes) Blue /199, 31 (Albert Almora) Green /399, 57 (Nicolino) X-Fractor
Cutting Edge Star Die-Cuts: Strasburg, Pujols
Autos: Matt Skole Auto/Relic, Dorsyss Paulino Green /399, Orlando Calixte
Topps Tribute
Rookie Base: Jurickson Profar, Manny Machado *traded*
Parallels: 54 (Rickey Henderson) Blue /99, 69 (Madison Bumgarner) Orange /50 <-dinged corner, going back to Topps
Relics: Lincecum Superstar Swatched dual bat /99, Prince Fielder Tribute to the Stars jersey Orange /50, Robin Yount Retired Remnants bat /99
Autos: Will Middlebrooks Sepia /35, Terry Pendleton /99, Jim Abbott orange /25
Highlights for me are the great looking base set for Tribute with some amazing players featured and the loads of prospect inserts in Bowman Platinum. Nothing else does much for me and it always upsets me when I get a bat relic of a pitcher - in this case Lincecum.
