Card Package From Night Owl

Right after my PWE from Tom I got a mailer from Greg at Night Owl cards.

First up is a batch of 2025 Heritage.  To me this is the worst year of Heritage ever.  I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't give me any 1976 Topps vibes at all.  It has the two colors at the bottom and the little cartoon but for some reason it just doesn't have the nostalgia factor that any other Heritage product had.

You can't tell from the scan but these are no ordinary 2024 Heritage these are all of the mini variety.  I had zero 2024 Heritage minis before this mailing.  It has been surprising how little I have missed Devers since the trade.  He went from my favorite current Red Sox to virtually forgotten about in no time.

In all the thousands and thousands of Red Sox cards I have this is my fist Laughlin.  I have seen them at shows before but always found something else to buy instead.  The set wasn't even listed on my checklist until this card came. 

This Hostess Fred Lynn was my favorite card of the package.  How can you not love an almost 50 year old food issue.  For some reason most of my Hostess sets are complete or really near complete except for 1977.  This is just my third of eight Red Sox in the team set.

 Like Tom in my past post This mailing completed a team set for me.  1987 Hygrade is now complete.  If you would have asked me a week ago if it was complete I would have said yes even though it was two cards short.  If I had seen them in a box of cards I would have automatically said I already have those and went right past them.  Somehow they fell through the cracks in my collective brain.
