UD Timelines Hobby Box Break (Packs 10 - 18)

I opened the first half of the box already, here's the second half. (So far, I've pulled 3 Reds)

Pack 10:
30: David Ortiz
62: Ian Kennedy (RC)
120: Jonathan Van Every (RC)
164: Derek Lee
201: Nick Blackburn (RC)
223: David Ortiz

319: Max Scherzer (RC)
YSL 4630: Lou Piniella
This is a great pack if you like the Red Sox...but since I don't, it's a dud. I needed the Ortiz Timeless teams card and the Blackburn rookie at least. Reds count: 3.

Pack 11:
8: Chipper Jones
44: Frank Thomas
80: Clay Timpner (RC)
89: Brian Barton (RC) - Gold Parallel
111: Elijah Dukes
143: Johan Santana
192: Jay Bruce (RC)

310: Ryan Zimmerman
The Bruce rookie card makes me happy. The Chipper Jones is probably trade bait for at least one of the Braves fans that read my blog. In addition to the Bruce rookie, I also needed the Zimmerman card. Reds count: 4.

Pack 12:
11: Ryan Howard
18: Ryan Braun - Gold Parallel

38: Travis Hafner
72: Jonathan Van Every (RC)
102: Brandon Phillips

161: Ken Griffey Jr.
210: Travis Hafner
296: Adam Dunn
Now this was a fun pack. I got a Van Every rookie (same guy that I pulled a signature of earlier), a Phillips card (one of my favorite players), and a Ken Griffey Jr. that's quite nice. I also pulled 2 cards I needed, including the Travis Hafner and ex-Red Adam Dunn. Reds count: 5.

Pack 13:
20: Albert Pujols
99: Jonathan Albaladejo (RC)
129: Scott Kazmir
174: Daric Barton (RC)
200: Micah Hoffpauir (RC)
282: Daric Barton (RC)
331: Jay Bruce (RC)

USA-BH: Brett Hunter AUTO (sticker)
I got three cards I needed (Barton, Hoffpauir, and Barton again), plus a double of a really nice Jay Bruce rookie card...AND an autograph. If only every pack were this good. Reds count: 6.

Pack 14:
13: Alfonso Soriano
40: Miguel Cabrera
76: Greg Smith (RC)
119: Joey Votto

142: Albert Pujols
207: Ryan Garko
275: Hideki Matsui
342: Deric Barton

Another pack, another Red (that I didn't need). I did get 4 more cards I needed (the second half of the box has gone better in that regard). I needed the Smith rookie, the Garko, the Matsui, and the Barton rookie. Reds count: 7.

Pack 15:
47: Josh Hamilton

81: Matt Tolbert (RC)
106: Clete Thomas (RC)
165: Miguel Cabrera
209: Steve Holm (RC)
268: Prince Fielder
365: Clay Buchholz (RC)
YSL14: Babe Ruth Yankee Stadium Legacy

A great pack for my collection, I needed all the cards except the two base cards and the Clete Thomas card. No Reds cards in this pack though, that's sad. Reds count: 7.

Pack 16:
2: David Wright
63: Masahide Kobayashi (RC)
124: Nick Swisher
138: Mark Teixeira
173: Chin-Lung Hu (Gold Stamp)

191: James Loney
254: Vladimir Guerrero
359: Cory Wade (RC)

A great pack for me - even without any Reds. I needed every card in the pack except the two base cards (which I've completed that portion of the set). The gold stamp card is still a little weird, I don't get what the point of the parallel is though. Reds count: 7.

Pack 17:
3: Carlos Beltran
29: Chien-Ming Wang
54: Jeff Clement (RC)
126: Reed Johnson

147: Brandon Webb
182: Brian Bocock (RC)
240: Grady Sizemore
322: Wladimir Balentien (RC)

Johnson, Webb, Bocock, and Sizemore will all find their place in my binder now. Too bad I already had the high number Balentien, those cards are tough to come by and I get a duplicate. Reds count: 7 (still).

Pack 18:
21: Tim Lincecum
39: CC Sabathia
90: Brian Bocock (RC)
117: Greg Smith (RC)
163: Joe Mauer
190: Homer Bailey

226: Clay Buchholz (RC)
350: Colt Morton (RC)

The last pack of the box - and finally my Reds drought ends with a nice Bailey card. I also needed the Bocock rookie, the Buchholz rookie, and the Morton rookie. Reds count: 8.

After opening the complete box:
(Cards I needed ... Cards that are duplicates)
Base cards (1-50): 0...28
Base Rookies(51 - 100): 6...12
'92 Minor League(101 - 130): 4...14
'94 All-Time Heroes (131 - 180): 4...14
'95 SP Top Prospects (181 - 210): 9...9
'04 Timeless Teams (211 - 310): 18...0
'93 SP Rookie (311 - 335): 2...4
'94 SP Rookie (336 - 360): 4...0
'95 SP Rookie (361 - 385): 3...0

Total needed: 50
Total duplicates: 81

Other cards:
Autographs: 2
Yankee Stadium Legacy: 3
Gold Parallel: 5
Gold Stamp: 2
Serially numbered /100: 1

Overall, not a bad box. I knocked another 50 cards off my want list (always nice) and now I've got a stack of cards for trading so that I can hopefully trade for the missing cards. I was happy to pull an autograph of someone other than Boggs too.
