Repack Sunday

This is the last of my dollar store repacks. And after this one, I'm ok with that. Time to move onto a different style maybe.

This Chi Chi Gonzalez rookie from 2015 Topps was the cover card and doubles as the newest card in the pack. He is currently on the DL after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He is not expected back this season.

Another Ranger here in Jeff Russell. This one nearly got skipped until I noticed the football in his hands. I remember the 1989 Upper Deck with Nolan Ryan throwing a football. Was this a Rangers thing? Russell is notable to me as the father of former Cub James Russell. James was traded to the Braves in 2014 with Emilio Bonifacio for current Cubs backup catcher Victor Caratini.

More Rangers! A Charlie Hough hot pack courtesy of 1986 Topps.

Or is it a Tony Armas hot pack? The 1983 card was also the oldest card in the pack.

Another rookie, Aaron Poreda from 2009 Topps Update and Highlights. Poreda finished his Major League career with, you guessed it, the Texas Rangers.

A pair of division rivals who would go on to become Cubs. 

Two horizontals. Trevor Crowe seems to be out of baseball. FP Santangelo has been the color analyst for the Nationals since 2011. 

Speaking of Nationals, wrapping up the pack is this Austin Kearns for the side Nats collection.

Going out on a bit of dud pack here. No Hall of Famers. No current Cubs. I may have to hit the Five Below again to see if they've restocked their $4.99 repacks. Or I hear Walgreens has had some recently.
