Falco Files: Walgreens Runs

This week has been an amalgam of pain and discomfort emotionally and physically.  From losing my grandfather last week to getting a tooth infection and strep throat this week I have been to Walgreens more in the past week than in the previous year.

In my trips I haven't come across any of the exclusive yellow packs that Walgreens offer.  I am still in need of the 2019 Series 2 McCutchen yellow parallel, but I do have a Bryan Reynolds yellow parallel I purchased shortly after release.
I am shocked that the price on these yellow retail exclusives is still relatively low compared to some other parallels with similar print runs.

As a reminder you can access Falco Files cards by clicking here.  Falco Files is a series I made to show off cards of players who have replaced Cutch on a roster either by trade, injury, or jersey number.

Bryan Reynolds, a second round draft pick of the Giants, was traded to the Pirates in 2018 as part of the Andrew McCutchen trade.

  1. The yellow parallel is perfect for Pirates players... and even my beloved A's. Don't think I've stumble across any of these Walgrees parallels yet.

  2. There won't be a 2019 Series 2 Yellow! Walgreens/Topps only did them for Series One and Update. So there will be a big gap for anyone collecting the set.

    1. That explains why I can't find Cutch. Thanks for the tip.

  3. That explains why the only Topps cards I see at Walgreens are regular Topps Series 2.
