It's been a lot of fun busting this box of National Chicle - I only wish I gave it more of a shot back when it came out. I've also updated my want list to reflect the cards that I am still missing from the set - there's quite a few since I only bought this one box plus a few assorted packs of Chicle last year. It's also exciting that my retail box produced an autograph already - and as the title of the post suggests - a second hit in the last pack of the box! Let's not waste any more time!
Pack 23:
7. Joe Mauer
103. Pablo Sandoval
140. Javier Vazquez
148. Chris Young
272. Michael Brantley
138. Scott Kazmir - National Chicle back
Well, not much to write home about there - the Kazmir National Chicle back is for trade. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of fodder to help fill my set binder (which in and of itself isn't a bad thing since I do need the cards)! Of course, you didn't read this post to see a bunch of commons...you are wondering about my hit! Behold! The last pack.
Pack 24:
18. Josh Johnson
190. Orlando Hudson
193. Marc Rzepcynski
NCR-RC. Relic - Robinson Cano - National Chicle back (#009/199)
Wow! Not only did I manage to pull two hits out of a retail box that didn't guarantee any - I managed to nab both an autograph and a rare relic card! This particular Cano card is seeded 1:87 packs making it a fairly rare pull. It's also a gorgeous card - the Yankee pinstripe is nicely framed by the design of the card. I don't even like the Yankees and I find this card almost perfect. The serially numbering is on the back of the card (see below).
Wow, as it turned out - this was a great box (especially since it was retail as I keep saying)! I'll have my thoughts of the box as a whole in an upcoming post.
