Why I love Wawa
Anyone who lives in the mid-Atlantic region knows about Wawa. It’s like 7-11, but better. Much better.
You get fresh sandwiches, soups, salads and more. The coffee is pretty good (I’ve heard, I don’t drink coffee) and it’s open 24 hours.
However, Wawa just jumped up a notch in my book when I walked on Sunday and saw baseball cards. They weren’t any of the expensive packs. They had a retail box of Topps Series 2 and Updates and Highlights.
But the fact that I can walk into a Wawa and buy baseball cards makes it fun.
So, I did just that on Sunday.
Here’s what came in the packs.

No Wawa here, but I love the name.
And our convenience stores here need to start selling cards. NOW!
And fitting that Lincecum is the pack cover boy for Updates and "High"lights. 🙂
Did you pick up any Tasty Kakes?
I didn't know about Wawa until I moved down here from NY. There is one on every corner and well worth it.
Tasty Cakes (or however they're spelled) are good too. But it was just a quick Wawa run for a drink that turned into two packs of baseball cards.
I really miss being able to pick up cards at the convenience store.
I miss the days of biking up to the Stop N Go to grab a fistful of wax.
We need us some Wawa here!
Some of the Casey's General Stores I've been to have cards, sometimes pretty decent selections considering it's a glorified gas station (that makes some pretty good pizza).
I really miss when Walgreens had (way marked down) packs around the turn of the millennium.
Gotta love the Wawa…the coffee is good, I can assure you. Baseball cards too? Must be a local thing for you because they are a no go where I am sadly.
