It's time to open up the final box in the group break - 2005 UD Past Time Pennants. Each box contains one Mitchell & Ness Wool Pennant and 20 (5 card) packs. The box is supposed to contain 2 signatures as well. As you can tell, it should be a fun product to bust!
First up, the pennant:
Congrats to the Twins on a really awesome looking pennant. I can't lie, I was hoping for the Reds pennant but no such luck this time around!
The pennant also came with a card that talks about the 1965 American League Champion Twins of which the pennant is celebrating (a very nice touch if you ask me).
2005 UD Past Time Pennant:
Pack 1:
4. Bill Mazeroski - Pirates
16. Catfish Hunter - Yankees
33. Gaylord Perry - Giants
81. Tom Seaver - Mets
88. Willie McCovey - Giants
After exactly one pack of the product I can tell you that I LOVE it! In fact, this is instantly going on my list as a set that I'd love to collect someday. Heck, I want to bust my own box - and get my own pennant! I'm a sucker for sets featuring retired greats which is apparently what this set is all about (as you can tell, I did virtually no research when picking boxes to include in the group break)! As for the pack win, I'm giving it to Seaver and the Mets because I like Tom Terrific...and I don't care that the Giants had two cards (both nice admittedly).
Pack 2:
24. Eddie Mathews - Braves
31. Fred Lynn - Red Sox
37. Graig Nettles - Yankees
66. Ralph Kiner - Pirates
86. Whitey Ford - Yankees
I wanted to give the pack win to the Pirates because I love the Kiner card - but the Yankees were a bit better with the Nettles and the almost-as-awesome-as-the-Kiner card of Whitey Ford.

I busted a box of this way back in '05 it was a lot of fun. I still have my pennent on the wall it's a 32 WS Cubs vs Yanks. And now i'm wishing I would have got in on the break. Damn all you guys doing group breaks at the same time!!! I'm definately in next one.
ReplyDeleteI meant 38 World Series not 32
ReplyDeleteI just geeked out all over the place when I saw that Twins pennant. :O And that Ralph Kiner card looks sweet!
