2003 Topps Bazooka - Hobby Box

After AutoZone didn't have the basic brake pads I needed, I grinded my way to the hobby shop. Trying to watch the spending so I got a couple packs of '99 Fleer Tradition, clear snap cases, and an unexpected hobby box of 2003 Bazooka (cheap sold me). I've never opened these before but judging by the card on the box, they looked pretty cool. Too bad that was only an insert on the front and not the base card design...oh well.

The base cards are pretty basic but I'm still ok with it. I've seen plenty worse and these are different from what I have, so it works.

The backs have nice info on the player with a bio and a "Bazooka Blast Stat of the Year". The stats, however, only give numbers for the previous year. A career total isn't even available.

There are variations of the base cards that have the Bazooka logo filled in with color. There is also a facsimile signature of the player on these cards.

First year player cards and a Bazooka Joe card. The Bazooka Joe cards are of different teams, all number 7, and stating the same info on the back about Bazooka.

Plenty of inserts. Thick gray base card variants (one in each pack), 4 stickers on a card (of base cards), a "mini" card (one in each pack), stand up cards, and Bazooka comics (I really like these, they're rather thin but very cool).

The hits. 3 per box. That's a lot of hits. I'm not really into having that many guaranteed hits per box but I'll never complain about them. The cards are cool and colorful and...hey! a pinstripe!
