2021 Universal Treasures Baseball Box (Part 1)

 I'd seen this opened a few times on YouTube channels and pretty decent cards had come out of them. I had watched a Sunday night livestream and seen quite a few "hits" come out of it. So I ordered one...not expecting to duplicate the success I had seen earlier.

                            

It arrived pretty quickly...I think in less than a week.

I do like how the box features the cards I will not be getting.

Box number 435 out of 500.

There were 3 rack packs of 54 cards each.

The boxes were not cheap...$159 dollars for 162 cards Topps cards from 1975 - 1990.

Well that was...rough. So which common was the best card? I would say the 1975 Mantle/Aaron (which was miscut of course) was one of the few that was not a common and probably by reason of default holds the prize of best card. Let's see if the second rack pack is any better.
