I've been having a blast opening up the box of 2010 National Chicle - and now, it's time for another pair of packs.
Pack 07:
17. Ken Griffey Jr.
At least Griffey got a fairly nice card! I think it would have been more fitting to have a painting of Griffey with his trademark smile and backwards hat, but hey, what do I know?
79. Russell Branyan
85. Justin Verlander
248. Tom Seaver
267. Tobi Stoner
282. Roy Campanella
Woo, my second short print of the box - and it's my first of the retired stars revisted short print subset! I sort of think that Campanella looks a bit like a bobblehead in this painting - but still, I like it!
Retail Checklist 2
Pack 08:
32. Andy Pettitte
133. Andrew Bailey
158. Stephen Drew
227. Rogers Hornsby
I really like this drawing. I think it's the box seats in the background that add just enough intrigue for me to scan this card rather than the rather boring Joe Morgan card that I also pulled out of this pack.
250. Joe Morgan
241. Christy Mathewson - Bazooka back
The Mathewson card is a Bazooka back parallel - seeded 1:8 packs (so I should expect two more Bazookas in the box). Does anyone out there collect the different parallel versions? All of the parallel versions that I pull in this box will be for trade.
One-third of the box down, no hits yet - but it's a retail box so there aren't any guaranteed hits anyway. Not only that, but since I'm only interested in the base set I don't mind the fact that I haven't found a hit!

I have to disagree on that Campy card, I'm really not a fan of that drawing
ReplyDeleteThe Griffey is nice, though
