some firsts for 2015

i picked up a value box, blaster, and a couple of loose packs of 2015 topps the other day.  i opened the value box first, and these cards were inside.

first card i saw - jd martinez

first dodger - brandon league

first former dodger - adrian beltre checklist

first insert - daniel norris gold parallel

first base card version of a gold parallel - daniel norris

first card of a retired dodger who probably won't have a base card in the set but got an insert - josh beckett

first albert pujols insert of the year - free agent albert pujols

first insert that made me wonder 'why is this a card'? - bruce sutter baseball history

we already have the 'highlight of the year' insert - what purpose do these 'baseball history' inserts serve, especially if the events are as mundane as a 2-inning shutout stint from bruce sutter?

first 1st home run insert - freddie freeman

first old guy/young guy insert - willie stargell and andrew mccutchen

first base card that made me scratch my head - evan gattis

is he still qualifying as a 'future star'?

first double play turn - jedd gyorko

first double play turn by a newly acquired dodger - howie kendrick

first bryce harper card - bryce harper

i seem to pull a lot of bryce harper cards.

first card i wanted to tear apart - brandon crawford

second card i wanted to tear up, but…respect - madison bumgarner gold parallel

first thought on these cards - not my favorite design. maybe it will grow on me.
