I’m impressed, Topps. Less than a month after pulling a Luis
Robert redemption from a Target
retail Value Pack, it’s hit my mailbox.
Behold: an
autographed, Gypsy Queen logo swap parallel of Chicago White Sox uber
prospect.
As I said when I wrote up
the break, this is one of the biggest – and least expected – hits that I’ve
ever pulled.
Robert, who is included as a
rookie despite not playing in the majors, is a 22-year-old Cuban outfielder and the #2 prospect in the
game (according to Baseball America). He led the minors across all
levels last season in hits (165) and was second in runs (108).
The
White Sox locked him up with a six-year, $50 million contract in January,
another key piece for the franchise’s future. Penciling Robert into a lineup
with Tim Anderson, Eloy Jiménez, and Yoán Moncada makes for a fun, intriguing team.
