Slab'em and Sell'em Dansby Swanson

Today’s Slab’em and Sell’em is a 2016 Bowman Draft Dansby Swanson Atlanta Braves card.

I finally got around to opening my Topps Now Opening Day Atlanta Braves team set. Yep I opened the opening day set on the last day of the regular season. Fitting I thought.

Featured in the set are Ronald Acuna Jr., Michael Harris, III, Chris Sale, Austin Riley, Maurice Dubon, Ozzie Albies, Drake Baldwin, Robert Suarez, and Spencer Strider. The Lucky Hit is a 40/50 gold Acuna card.

All of these guys except Strider are believed to make the upcoming playoff roster. Strider is sidelined with injury or I’m positive he would be there too.

Another great addition to the ongoing Braves collection.

By the way that is my firefighter desk mat the cards are on, not a dirty gloomy thing.
