National Baseball Card Day 2017

For National Baseball Card Day I took my daughter, Caroline, to a new old card shop. New old? Yep. The Dugout, in Pigeon Forge, TN, closed about 3 years ago. Little did I know that they didn't close, but moved. To a better location, in my opinion.

Before we get to the cards from the free pack that Topps was giving away, here's a few shots of The Dugout.  (LCS plug - you can follow The Dugout-TN on facebook.)

Rick, owner of The Dugout, was dealing with another customer.  We walked around, looked at the variety of bobbleheads, relic cards, this and that.  After he finished with the customer, Rick gave Caroline two Panini sticker books.  Cars 3 and Finding Dory.  She was pleased with those.

We stepped outside, went to a bench and opened the pack.

We went back inside to let Rick know that she got a hit.  He was excited, asked if he could take a picture for his facebook page.  We said yes.

Overall it was a good day.
