More Minis By Request

Good evening, everyone.  I've gotten a few requests asking to see more of the Topps mini cards, so I scanned some of the more interesting (to me at least) ones.  What is it about these minis that make the images look so much better?  To me they just seem more dynamic and crisp.
Opening the box yesterday, I totally missed the #4/5 Platinum John Mayberry card. I was happy to find it tonight.  See the upper middle.
I know all of these cards are in the base set, but something about the minis bring more life to them in my view.
One thing I would have liked to have seen is a few cards with different variations.  Short prints of the short printed product.
The Kyle Blanks card reminds me of Field of Dreams.  Awesome baseball card.
There are no Classic Walk Offs or any other inserts like this.  Only Golden Moments made the mini cut.
As someone that likes serial numbered cards, I was really bummed there weren't any in the base sets this year. I know many people do not like them, but they all seem like 1/1s to me when it comes to collecting them for my player collections.

Pretty happy with my choice to purchase this product last Sunday as my third National hobby box.
