Topps National Chicle: Packs 18 and 19 - A Hit Found (?)

I told you a few packs ago that this box contained at least one hit.  It's been 17 packs though, and we've yet to find that hit...will the hit be hiding in either of the next two packs?  Read on to find out!

Pack 18:
70.  Cliff Lee

138.  Scott Kazmir
162.  Jonathan Papelbon
188.  Rich Harden
202.  Ian Stewart
322.  Carlos Carrasco

Checklist 1

Well, no hit in that pack - but I did manage to pull a short print.  The Carrasco is part of the rookie renditions short printed subset.  This is the second card from that particular subset from the box - the other was the Michael Dunn card.  I also found the Cliff Lee card interesting - especially the design in the background.  It's got a real "artsy" feel to it - and that's cool considering this is an all-art set!


Pack 19:
144.  Jhoulys Chacin
209.  Juan Marichal
215.  Orlando Cepeda
217.  Frank Robinson

262.  Reid Gorecki
NCA-HR.  Autograph - Henry Rodriguez

Woo!  An on-card autograph!  These are seeded 1:30 packs, so they aren't quite one-per-box...thus getting one felt fairly special (especially considering this is a retail box remember)!  I don't know anything about Henry Rodriguez - and I don't have a lot of Oakland A's fans that I trade with - but if someone happens to be interested I would be willing to trade the card for something(s) that I need.

  1. This set is strange ! Some of the cards, like the Cliff Lee, are really nice and some are downright ugly !!The Carrasco is not my favorite,but being a Tribe card I have to have it. I like the Robinson too. Nice auto.

  2. I pulled one auto out of the packs I opened. It was the same one you got.
