Flat Rate Box July 2021 - Fuzzy Connections

 So while my flat rate box was a bit of a dud on the Iowa Connection side, I did ok on my Fuzzy Iowa Connections.  Fuzzy Connections (FC) are typically players who played for one of the minor league teams in Iowa.  As of today, I try to collect at least one card from each of these players.

There are three levels for the FC card:

1. Have - I have a card of the player, and the card has nothing that relates to their Iowa Connection.  Here are two from this box.  Jorge Perez played in the Quad Cities in 2013 and 2015.  Gaither Bumgardner played for Burlington in 2015.

2. Good - I have a card of the player and it mentions their Iowa Connection.  As you can see on the backs of these two cards, Ryan Yarbrough played for Clinton in 2015 and Kyle Barraclough played for the Quad Cities in 2012.  

Come on Topps, it sure looks like he's putting out a fire by...well we'll say hose.

3. Perfect - This is a card with the player in their Iowa Connection jersey.  Think minor league team card, or like Topps Heritage Minor.  None from the box, not much of a surprise.

All told, I pulled 33 FC cards.  11 Good, 22 Have.  Even pulled a couple out of the Perfect Game stack.  Luke Bonfield played for Sioux City in 2019 and Keith Grieshaber played for Burlington in 2017.
